Asked at the launderette

What temperature should I wash nylon at on a Hotpoint NSWA 946 WW UK?

Wash nylon at 30C using the Synthetics programme on the Hotpoint NSWA 946 WW UK. 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 Hotpoint NSWA 946 WW UK, 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 Synthetics programme.
