Care Labels
Care Labels Points
Care Labels are composed of 5 basic symbols + additional symbols + optional terms.
5 Basic Symbols:
From left to right, they are "Washing," "Bleaching" "Drying," "Ironing," and "Professional cleaning."
If a symbol is omitted, it means that all processing methods represented by that symbol are possible.
Additional Symbols:
Using symbols, numbers, or other characters, strength, temperature,
and prohibition are indicated as <strength>, <temperature>, and <prohibition>.

The presence of "-" lines indicates more, and "・" indicates fewer, suggesting delicate handling is required.
Optional Terms:
Information that cannot be conveyed by symbols alone may be explained
with simple words placed near the symbols as optional terms.
For example, when ironing required the use of a "pressing cloth" is necessary,
it will be indicated as "Pressing Cloth Required."
