Washing your laundry correctly: Which program to use?

Washing clothes means: sort, choose the washing program and select the detergent. Below, we help you to select the right program and temperature for the laundry you wish to wash.

Washing your laundry correctly: Which program to use?

What temperature to use?

In general, washing cycles at 30°C and 40°C are recommended. They consume half as much energy as a 60°C cycle and three times less than a 90°C cycle.

  • 30°: suitable for most textiles, but especially for delicate fibers and colors.
  • 40°: cotton, linen, viscose, nylon, acrylic fabrics
  • 60°: ideal for sheets, bed linen and towels
  • 90°: only suitable for white cotton and stained linen

Les programmes spéciaux

Light (Léger)

For silk, fine lingerie, curtains and delicate linen (dresses, skirts, shirts, blouses).

Wool (Laine)

Ideal for machine-washable woolens, this program respects the material by dosing the cadence, water flow and spin-drying.

Intensive

This is an intensive option, dedicated to very dirty laundry. The duration of the washing cycle is generally longer than a standard cycle.
