Importance of bleaching
Bleaching your clothes can be a great weapon against certain stains or to make the whites shine brighter. But read the label carefully before using this technique.
Bleaching symbols
- The symbol for bleaching is represented by a triangle.
- If this is empty then either bleach or chlorine can be used as stain removers.
- The triangle may have the letters CL inside it, meaning that bleaching may only be done with chlorine-based products.
- If there are three diagonal lines where bleaching can be done with chlorine-free products.
- If the triangle is crossed out with an x, the garment cannot be bleached.
