To wash nylon on a Launderette washer (coin-op), select the Perm Press 60 programme at 30C with a 1200 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.

Asked at the launderette

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

Wash nylon at 30C using the Perm Press 60 programme on the Launderette washer (coin-op). Nylon weakens and can shine or scorch under high heat.

What spin speed is safe for nylon?

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