Asked at the launderette

What temperature should I wash denim at on a Bosch Series 8 i-DOS?

Wash denim at 30C using the Cottons programme on the Bosch Series 8 i-DOS. Denim bleeds indigo and fades with hot water and frequent washing.

What spin speed is safe for denim?

Use 800 rpm. A gentler spin removes enough water without stressing the fibres. Wash inside out, cold, with like colours, and wash it less often.

Do I need the care label to wash denim?

No. Lavo identifies the fabric and condition from a photo of the garment itself and gives the exact setting for your Bosch Series 8 i-DOS, even when the care label is faded, cut out, or missing.

What happens if I wash denim too hot?

Denim bleeds indigo and fades with hot water and frequent washing. That is why the safe setting here is 30C on the Cottons programme.
