Washing Info 𓆩♱𓆪

EGG'S prints are only produced when an individual orders. They are then instantly packaged so there hasn't been time for them to air out, meaning there is a certain stickiness to them due to the print being fresh.

✶This wares off after a day of being out of the packaging and is nothing to worry about. ✶
✶For a long-lasting freshness please turn your product inside out to protect the print when washing ✶

If the item of clothing you have doesn't have washing instructions, then you can just assume standard washing techniques will do the job.

𓋹 Washing 𓋹

  • Machine Wash

    Golden rule: a tub of water represents a washing machine. This care label symbol means you can wash your clothes in the washing machine in normal, standard settings.

  • Machine Wash (with temperature)

    Machine wash symbol with degrees inside of it means you should wash your garments in the washing machine at the temperature shown.

  • Machine Wash (Permanent Press)

    This symbol with a tub and a line under it signifies that you should use the permanent press setting on your washing machine. This setting means that your clothes are washed gently to prevent wrinkling. Your washer does this by washing the clothing with warm water on a slow spin cycle. This cycle is usually best for synthetic and blended fabrics.

  • Machine Wash (Delicate/Gentle)

    Another rule to remember: the more bars under the tub, the more gentle the washing cycle should be. A tub with two bars under it means you should set your washer to a delicate or gentle washing cycle. This cycle is used for fragile items such as lace underwear, wool clothing, and blouses.

  • Machine Wash (with temperature settings)

    The washing machine symbol with one or multiple dots inside indicates how hot or cold the water temperature should be (when not indicated with numbers).

    • 1 dot =  65°F–85°F (18°C–29°C)
    • 2 dots =  105°F (40°C)
    • 3 dots = 120°F (49°C)
    • 4 dots = 140°F (60°C)
    • 5 dots = 160°F (71°C)
    • 6 dots = 200°F (93°C)

  • Hand Wash

    A symbol of a tub and a hand in it means this item should be hand-washed. Some washing machines have a Hand Wash cycle setting, however, it’s not suitable for all garments with the Hand Wash symbol on the care tag. You shouldn’t machine-wash your clothing on this setting if the item is vintage or antique, heavily embellished or embroidered, is woven and can tangle with itself, and if your item can be misshaped if stretched. This cycle is usually okay for synthetic blend fabrics, small pieces of clothing made from natural wool fibres, like socks and gloves, and also big items like sweaters.

  • Do Not Wash

    This care label symbol with a crossed-out tub means you shouldn’t wash your garment at home and it has to be professionally dry cleaned.

⛧ Ironing ⛧

  • Iron (Any Temperature, Steam, or Dry)

    Ironing symbols are quite easy. This flat iron character means you can iron your tee, sweater, or pants at any temperature you want. The same goes for steaming and drying it with an iron.

  • Iron (Low, Medium, and High Temperatures)

    As we’ve seen above, more dots mean higher temperature or heat. 1 dot inside an iron represents low temperature (230°F), 2 dots—medium temperature (290°F), and 3 dots—high temperature (300°F). You should iron your clothing at the temperature shown on the label. 

  • Do Not Steam

    An icon showing crossed-out steam coming from a flat iron means you shouldn’t steam your favourite blouse or shirt because you might ruin it if you do. This technique is great for eliminating wrinkles, however, it’s not suitable for all fabrics. 

  • Do Not Iron

    A crossed-out flat iron character signifies that you shouldn’t iron your garm at all.

༒︎ Drying ༒︎

  • Tumble Dry (Normal)

    This square symbol with a circle inside means you can tumble dry your clothes on normal, standard settings in your dryer. 

  • Tumble Dry (Permanent Press and Delicate/Gentle)

    Similar to washing symbols, lines under the Tumble Dry symbol represent the cycles you should dry your garms in. One line is for the Permanent Press cycle and two lines are for the Delicate/Gentle cycle setting.

  • Tumble Dry Heat Setting (Low, Medium, and High)

    The dots inside the Tumble Dry symbol indicate the heat setting you should use when drying the specific item. Accordingly, 1 dot is for low heat, 2 dots for medium heat, and 3 dots for high heat.

  • Tumble Dry (No Heat)

    This Tumble Dry symbol with a filled circle in the middle means that your clothes can be tumble dried, however, you shouldn’t use any heat in the process.

  • Line Dry

    A square symbol with a semicircle at the top indicates that your clothing item should be line-dried. It means you shouldn’t use an electric dryer, but smoothen out and shape your garments before hanging them to air-dry instead.

  • Drip Dry

    This square symbol with 3 vertical lines symbolizes drip drying. The item can be hung in the shower, and you should let the excess water drip down naturally. The difference between line-drying and drip-drying is that you don’t shape or smoothen out your item before leaving it to drip-dry.

  • Flat Dry

    The care label symbol above means you should let your clothing dry on a flat surface. This method is often used for things like knitted jumpers to avoid the material misshaping the garment. 

  • Dry in Shade

    2 parallel lines in the upper corner of the symbol on the care label mean your piece of clothing needs to be dried in shade. You might see this tag on dark items because drying your clothes in direct sunlight can lead to colours fading.

  • Do Not Wring

    This laundry symbol shows a crossed-out wrinkled fabric. It means you shouldn’t wring your garment as it can damage the material.
