Garment Care Labels Defined – Ironing
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that all garments sold in the US have a care label attached. Below we have defined four common symbols found on care labels indicating the appropriate heat setting when ironing the garment.
Iron Low Setting
Garments with this symbol on their care label can be safely ironed with the iron’s temperature set to “low” heat.
Iron Med Setting
Garments with this symbol on their care label can be safely ironed with the iron’s temperature set to ”medium” heat.
Iron Hi Setting
Garments with this symbol on their care label can be safely ironed with the iron’s temperature set to ”high” heat.
Do Not Iron
Garments with this symbol on their care label should not be ironed.
