Asked at the launderette
What temperature should I wash modal at on a Bosch Series 8 i-DOS?
Wash modal at 30C using the Cottons programme on the Bosch Series 8 i-DOS. Modal stretches and loses shape when washed warm or spun hard.
What spin speed is safe for modal?
Use 600 rpm. A gentler spin removes enough water without stressing the fibres. Wash cool on a gentle cycle with a low spin to keep its shape.
Do I need the care label to wash modal?
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 modal too hot?
Modal stretches and loses shape when washed warm or spun hard. That is why the safe setting here is 30C on the Cottons programme.
