Asked at the launderette

What temperature should I wash modal at on a Launderette washer (coin-op)?

Wash modal at 30C using the Perm Press 60 programme on the Launderette washer (coin-op). Modal stretches and loses shape when washed warm or spun hard.

What spin speed is safe for modal?

Use 1200 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 Launderette washer (coin-op), 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 Perm Press 60 programme.
