What do laundry symbols mean?

Tub = wash (dots = temperature). Triangle = bleach. Square = dry (a circle inside means tumble). Iron shape = iron. Circle = dry-clean. Any symbol crossed out means don't.

Follow-up questions

What does a single dot mean?

Coolest setting for that action — 30 °C wash, low-heat dry, cool iron.

Can I ignore dry-clean-only?

Sometimes — hand-washing wool and silk in cold water often works. Never for structured tailoring, leather, or suede.
