A twisted shape crossed out, forbidding wringing the garment.
A twisted rope shape with a cross through it means the garment must not be wrung out. It is a legacy symbol: it appears on older labels and in North American practice rather than in the current ISO set.
Instructs that the garment must not be twisted to squeeze water out, which distorts fibres.
Contexts: Laundry
Not part of the current ISO 3758 set. It survives on older labels and in North American care-labelling practice, which is why it appears on some garments and not others.
Contexts: Laundry
A shape like a length of cloth twisted about its own axis, tapering at both ends, crossed by a large diagonal cross.
