how do you read care instructions on the labels for clothing?

and what do the small pictures mean?

1. Check the source link for your answer.
2. I'll try my best to explain them, although it would be easier if I could draw them here first - Here goes: First of all, if ANY of the symbols has a line or an X drawn through it, that means NO Triangle - usually means bleach - so if there is a line drawn through it, then that means NO bleach Circle - generally refers to drycleaning - if there is a circle, then it is ok to dryclean - but again, if there is a line drawn through the circle, then NO Square - refers to drying - if there is a circle inside the square, then that means good to go in the dryer. If there is a small line near the top (kind of like a loop) then that means Hand To Dry (as in a clothes line). U / Pail Shaped Symbol - generally is for the temperature of the water *see below for colour definitions Iron - means iron the garment * check the colour of the iron *see below Regarding the colours of the symbols: Yellow = Warm Red = Hot or Do Not So ,for example: A Yellow Iron = means you can iron the garment with a Warm iron. A Red Square with a Circle inside AND an X drawn on top = means DO NOT put in a HOT dryer A Yellow U/Pail = Warm water should be used to wash the garment. I hope this helps a bit, just remember - red means NO also an X means NO All the above is my point of view, but I will also add a link for you to go to in order to print out a much more detailed description.
