Washing label question

[saltireslytherin]

If the washing instructions label on a top has atub with a 40 in it and a very thick line underneath what does that mean?Can't find it on my machine. aalso if it has a circle with a P in the middle and a line underneath what does that mean?

Circle wih P in referes to a dry clean protocol

Tub with one line under is normally a synthetic cycle (in this case at 40C)

no handwash at 40 or is it a tumble drier

circle P

don't use persil?

The P is Dry Cleaning.

The 40 in a tub with the line means a synthetic wash on our machine, it has a shorter cycle and a gentler spin than the normal 40 wash. 2 Lines is a wool wash.
