Asked at the launderette

What temperature should I wash linen at on an Indesit Push&Go BWE 111496X (11kg, 1400rpm)?

Wash linen at 30C using the Cotton programme on the Indesit Push&Go BWE 111496X (11kg, 1400rpm). 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.

Do I need the care label to wash linen?

No. Lavo identifies the fabric and condition from a photo of the garment itself and gives the exact setting for your Indesit Push&Go BWE 111496X (11kg, 1400rpm), even when the care label is faded, cut out, or missing.

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 Cotton programme.
