Why these settings

Polyester is easy care but holds odour and is heat sensitive, wash cool to avoid setting smells.

The risk: Polyester traps odour and can pill or hold creases if washed hot.

The rule worth remembering: Wash at 30C, turn inside out, and skip high heat in the dryer.

Asked at the launderette

What temperature should I wash polyester at on a Hoover H-Wash 300 (H3W 49TE)?

Wash polyester at 30C using the Mixed programme on the Hoover H-Wash 300 (H3W 49TE). Polyester traps odour and can pill or hold creases if washed hot.

What spin speed is safe for polyester?

Use 600 rpm. A gentler spin removes enough water without stressing the fibres. Wash at 30C, turn inside out, and skip high heat in the dryer.

Do I need the care label to wash polyester?

No. Lavo identifies the fabric and condition from a photo of the garment itself and gives the exact setting for your Hoover H-Wash 300 (H3W 49TE), even when the care label is faded, cut out, or missing.

What happens if I wash polyester too hot?

Polyester traps odour and can pill or hold creases if washed hot. That is why the safe setting here is 30C on the Mixed programme.
