Free app decodes ISO care symbols on clothing labels using the device camera.
A new free iPhone app launched this week that helps users decode clothing care labels. Care Symbols: Laundry Scanner points the camera at garment tags to recognize ISO washing, bleaching, drying, ironing and professional cleaning symbols. The app explains each symbol in plain language rather than relying on tiny icons. It works on faded, low-contrast and printed-on-fabric labels where generic scanners often fail. A built-in reference guide is available for browsing without scanning. The app was trained on real clothing labels including worn and blended-fabric items to maintain accuracy. All processing happens on the device; no photos are uploaded or collected. The app supports 27 languages including English, German, French, Spanish and Ukrainian. Care Symbols is available now as a free download on the App Store, requiring iOS 17.0 or later.
