disagree  Charlesp: the symbol matches, but 'ikke renses' dosen't sound right, it sounds like it can't be cleaned at all

  -> Dry clean is any kind of dry clenaing in my books!
neutral  Dan Schioenning Larsen: I can see it says what you put on the link, but as Charles said, they make it sound like you are not allowed to clean the garment at all.

neutral  NetLynx: Lone, din oversættelse er sådan set korrekt, men kan let misforstås på dansk, så den er blevet til det andet forslag her på siden. 'dry' betyder i denne forbindelse 'uden vand'

tåler ikke kemisk rensning


Explanation:
This is often given as the explanation on textile labels and clothing in addition to the washing symbols, which are international (tubs with a temperature or hand to indicate the max. temperature the fabric can be washed at, or that it should be hand washed etc.)

The table from the Danis consummer portal says 'undgå rensning' (Avoid dry cleaning)

and

'undgå brug af opløsningsmidler til pletfjerning' (Avoid using solvents to remove stains)
