To wash nylon on a Bosch Series 8 i-DOS, select the Cottons programme at 30C with a 600 rpm spin, add a suitable detergent and start the cycle. Nylon weakens and can shine or scorch under high heat. Wash cool on a synthetics cycle and air dry rather than tumble hot.

100% nylon on this machine. Your actual garment is probably a blend, has a history, and might have no label at all. The Lavo app reads the real garment from a photo and answers in seconds. Coming to the App Store.
Asked at the launderette
What temperature should I wash nylon at on a Bosch Series 8 i-DOS?
Wash nylon at 30C using the Cottons programme on the Bosch Series 8 i-DOS. Nylon weakens and can shine or scorch under high heat.
What spin speed is safe for nylon?
Use 600 rpm. A gentler spin removes enough water without stressing the fibres. Wash cool on a synthetics cycle and air dry rather than tumble hot.
Do I need the care label to wash nylon?
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 nylon too hot?
Nylon weakens and can shine or scorch under high heat. That is why the safe setting here is 30C on the Cottons programme.
