Mixed fibres:
A good fabric can be compared to a good
perfume: the blend makes all the difference!
Heavy cottons become finer and more
elegant when viscose is added, and
cashmere is more affordable when blended
with cotton. Mixed fabrics are traditionally
blends of cotton with one or more synthetic
fibres. Micro-fibre fabrics are also made from
a combination of materials. Care should be
taken in the choice of detergent for washing
mixed fibre garments. The most delicate
fibre in the fabric will determine the wash
programme selected. The patented Miele
Automatic programme
1)
takes the guesswork
out of choosing the right programme. Using
sensor technology, the machine is able to
determine the size of the load electronically,
and adjusts the programme parameters to
suit the composition of the load, ensuring that
even your mixed wash is given the perfect
treatment.
Drying:
A special Outerwear programme is available
on some Miele tumble dryers which dries
garments made from membrane fabrics at an
appropriate temperature.
Some Miele washing machines and tum-
ble dryers also offer a special Proofing
programme for reproofing outerwear or
adding a waterproof or stain resistant
finish to the fabric.
