Features
All 41 symbols across 6 categories
Washing, bleaching, tumble drying, natural drying, ironing and professional care — every ISO 3758 symbol is covered.
Search by number and find it instantly
Type "40" and every 40°C-related washing symbol shows up across categories. No need to remember a symbol's name to look it up.
Crisp vector symbols, no image assets at all
Every symbol is drawn parametrically in code, so it stays sharp at any screen size — never a blurry bitmap.
Long-press to favorite, swipe to browse a category
Long-press a symbol you use often to save it. On the detail screen, just swipe to move to the next or previous symbol in the same category.
No "washable or not" verdicts, ever
This app tells you what a symbol means — nothing more. It doesn't judge a specific garment, and it notes that labeling conventions can vary by region.
A triangle with two diagonal lines. A square with a circle and one dot. You are standing at the machine holding a shirt, and the label may as well be in another alphabet.
WashSignGuide is the chart for those labels. All 41 ISO 3758 care symbols, drawn large and clearly, each with what it actually means.
FIND THE ONE ON YOUR LABEL
- Six tabs: washing, bleaching, tumble drying, natural drying, ironing, professional care
- A grid you can scan with your eyes rather than read
- Search by meaning or by temperature — type 40 and get every 40 degree symbol
- Do-not symbols are drawn in warning red so you spot them first
BIG ENOUGH TO COMPARE
Tap any symbol and it fills most of the screen, so you can hold the phone next to the label and match the shape. Swipe to move through the rest of the category.
THE ONES YOU KEEP LOOKING UP
Star a symbol and it goes to Favourites. Most people end up with the same handful — the ones on the clothes they actually wash.
WORKS WITHOUT A SIGNAL
Every symbol is drawn by the app itself, not downloaded. No camera, no photo scanning, no waiting. Open it in a basement laundry room and it works exactly the same.
It tells you what the symbols mean. It does not tell you whether your jumper will survive — that is between you and the jumper.
