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.
This page answers one frozen question.
100% polyester 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 polyester at on a Miele WSD 323 WPS?
Wash polyester at 30C using the Minimum Iron programme on the Miele WSD 323 WPS. 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 Miele WSD 323 WPS, 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 Minimum Iron programme.
