cloth, most clothes would probably have a fabric care tag which will us how to
wash it.

The first symbols are the how to wash symbols, they tell us if the cloth is able to
be washed in the machine or they are to be hand washed or only dry clean.

The next symbols are the symbols that determine the temperature you wash the
clothes on, one dot means cold, two means warm, and three means hot.

The third and set of symbols are there to tell us what setting to put the clothes
on depending there fabric.

type of clothes to use.

and three means low heat, and if the whole circle is colored in it means no heat.

Step 6: Drying
The last step is to take the cloths out of the
washer and put in the dryer, remember to
put the items in the dryer few at a time in
order to avoid clamping and tangling, also
only fill the clothes up to 75%. After your
clothes are done drying remember to take
them and fold them. Also if your clothes
need to be ironed remember to do so after
the checking the tag.
