cold pre-rinse without detergent. It is only
after this is completed that the detergent is
dispensed and the wash cycle begins. For
very dusty or heavily soiled curtains, the
Water plus function can also be selected.
The Miele Curtains programme uses high
water levels and reduced mechanical action
to prevent creasing and provide perfect
results every time. For fabrics that crease
very easily, the spin speed can be further
reduced, or dispensed with completely.
Creases usually disappear when the curtains
are re-hung, but stubborn creases can be
ironed out using a cool iron. Curtains require
plenty of space in the drum and Miele
washing machines with the honeycomb drum
offer the perfect environment in which to
gently wash up to 2 kg of curtaining.
Tip:
Net curtains become yellow if
exposed to cigarette smoke. To make
them gleaming white again, they should
be soaked overnight in lukewarm salt
water, and washed the next day in
the washing machine using a special
detergent formulated for net curtains.
Make sure that all hooks, rings, clips and
weights are removed from curtains before
washing them.
