Washing Symbols: Hand or Machine?

The washing icon looks like a bucket of water. If it includes a hand, hand washing is required. A number inside the bucket indicates the maximum water temperature (in Celsius) for machine washing. A line under the bucket signifies a gentler cycle. Unsure about delicate fabrics? Our laundry and dry cleaning services can handle them with care.

Dry Symbols: Air or Machine?

A square with a circle inside represents tumble drying. Dots within the circle indicate heat settings: one dot for low heat, two for medium, and three for high. If the square has lines, air drying is recommended. Avoid the hassle by trusting us to dry your clothes correctly.

Ironing Symbols: Keep Wrinkles Away

The ironing symbol resembles a flat iron. Like drying, dots indicate heat levels. One dot is low heat, while three dots are high heat. If the symbol has an “X”, skip the iron completely to avoid damage. Not sure how to handle it? Let our professionals press your garments perfectly.

Dry Cleaning Symbols: Specialized Care

A circle represents dry cleaning, with letters inside (such as “P” or “F”) showing the type of solvent needed. If you see an “X” over the circle, avoid dry cleaning. For items with these symbols, Pasadena Dry Cleaning and Laundry Services offer expert care.
