A "Care Label" is a tag found on clothing and textiles that provides essential information on how to properly clean and maintain the item. It typically includes instructions for washing, drying, ironing, and any special care needed to preserve the fabric's quality. Following these guidelines helps extend the life of the garment and prevents damage. Care labels often feature symbols that represent different care methods, such as washing machine, hand wash, or dry clean. These symbols are standardized to ensure that consumers can easily understand the care requirements, regardless of language or region.
