30, 40, 50 or 60 degrees: too hot or too cold for the item you want to have clean and bacteria-free again? Sometimes it can be quite a search to find the right temperature for your wash. We are happy to guide you through which wash program works best for your clothing.

• The washing label is the boss
  As cliché as it may be: your washing label is the boss! Your item always has its own washing label which shows the material mix of the item and can therefore also give the best advice for the washing program. So always try to use the washing advice of the manufacturer as a guideline. Have you lost the label? Then we are happy to guide you in which materials you can best wash in which program.
  
• Wash at 30°C
  At this temperature you wash laundry that is not really dirty. Most items can best be washed at 30 degrees. Think of outerwear, underwear or socks, towels, table linen and curtains. A lower temperature is also more economical!
  
• Wash at 40°C
  Still a stain? Then that 30-degree drum is just too cold to get the laundry clean again. At 40 degrees you can wash all kinds of items that stink or have stains. Underwear, towels, socks and linen can also be washed at 40 degrees.
  
• Wash at 60 °C
  At this temperature you wash your laundry when it is important that all bacteria are killed from the item. For example, people with allergies wash their laundry faster on a warmer program. Cleaning textiles are also often washed at 60 degrees to kill the bacteria. Washable diapers should definitely be washed at 60 degrees. One last important thing: laundry with stains of blood, vomit or feces.
  
• Wash at 90°C
  You probably won't use this program very often, but despite that, we would like to take you through what you can use this program for. First of all, think of clothing that has been worn by someone with a highly contagious disease or virus. This program is also used to clean the washing machine itself.
  
• The RPM: What Does It Do and How Important Is It?
  You've probably heard this before in the corridors: pay attention to the spin speed! The spin speed determines to what extent the laundry is dried in the washing machine. A high spin speed ensures a 'drier' wash. That sounds ideal, but a high spin speed also has a number of disadvantages: your washing machine wears out faster and the laundry comes out of the drum more creased. Clothing can also shrink more easily due to a high spin speed.
