minimum creasing and optimal laundry care.
Drying:
Some Miele tumble dryers also
offer a special Denim programme in which
the temperature is carefully controlled to
ensure that your favourite jeans fit like a glove
afterwards.
Ironing:
Denim does not need to be ironed.
It is sufficient just to pull it into shape after
drying, as the heat of the body will smooth
out any creases once it is worn.
Denim:
Made from cotton, denim was originally used
for workmen’s trousers. Today it is popular for
many garments including jeans, skirts, shirts
and jackets. Combining threads of different
colours (usually white and blue) gives denim
fabric its distinctive characteristic,
Washing:
Denim should be washed at a
maximum temperature of 60°C, and stretch
denim at 30°C using a detergent which
contains no optical brighteners (e.g. Miele
UltraColor). To avoid the white crease lines
that can appear on denim after washing, turn
garments inside out before washing them,
and select a low spin speed. To avoid the
colour from denim running onto other light-
coloured items, denim should be washed
separately the first few times. Because it
isn’t always obvious whether denim should
be washed using a minimum iron or cottons
programme, Miele has developed a special
Denim programme in which the wash rhythm,
the water level and the spin cycle are all
specifically designed for the needs of the
