Asked at the launderette
What temperature should I wash linen at on a Bosch WAX32M4GB?
Wash linen at 30C using the Cottons programme on the Bosch WAX32M4GB. Linen creases heavily and can shrink slightly on a first hot wash.
What spin speed is safe for linen?
Use 600 rpm. A gentler spin removes enough water without stressing the fibres. Wash cool to lukewarm on a gentle cycle and iron while still damp.

What happens if I wash linen too hot?
Linen creases heavily and can shrink slightly on a first hot wash. That is why the safe setting here is 30C on the Cottons programme.
