The choice of the program depends on two main factors: the type of cloth and the degree of dirtiness of the set. Linen is made from natural, mixed and synthetic fibers, which require different water temperatures for washing, and different spin modes.
To understand at what temperature to wash bedding, you need to find out the type of fabric. Linen, coarse calico, cotton, satin, silk, microfiber, bamboo cloth, percale, poplin, flannel are used for sewing the sets.
The manufacturer is obliged to give recommendations for washing on special tags sewn into the linen seam. If for some reason there is no information, then when choosing a temperature regime, you should use the general rules:
– a cloth made of natural linen or white cotton with a high degree of dirt is washed at a temperature of 90 ° C;
– if the cotton fabric is dyed, 40 ° C is sufficient;
– flannel is erased at 40-60 ° C;
– for silk, 3D fabrics, synthetics, the temperature should be no higher than 30 ° C;
– natural bamboo fiber is washable at 40 ° C.
The composition of the fabric determines which wash program to choose. How to wash bedding and should it be soaked? If it is white and heavily soiled, soaking is essential. Otherwise, the laundry will become more and more washed and gradually turn gray. The automatic machines are equipped with a soak or prewash function, which must be used.
Washing modes are selected in accordance with the type of material and the instructions on the control panel of the machine. Cotton and linen sets are washed on the appropriate Cotton program or in any standard spin cycle from 900 to 1200 rpm.
For silk, bamboo and 3D fabrics, poplin, you need a delicate mode and spin at low speeds from 400 to 600 units. The appropriate mode is chosen for synthetics, the speed of revolutions is from 400 to 800 units. Delicate and synthetic fabrics will not soak.
