The number of degrees indicated on the label is a maximum. It's always better to wash your garment – if possible - at a lower temperature.
Wash at 30°C maximum | Normal spin speed
Use a delicate wash program at 30°C maximum | Low spin speed | Load the drum no more than half of the maximum weight to minimize friction
Use a wool wash program at max30°C maximum | Low spin speed “Load the drum no more than 1/3 of the maximum weight to minimize friction.
Wash at 30°C maximum | Normal spin speed
also applies for symbols with 40°C of 60°C – only the temperature differs.
Wash by hand, or even beter: wash at a 30°C hand wash program on your washing machine and use a mesh laundry bag. By hand, little mistakes as using the wrong temperature or rubbing too hard are easy made. Prefer to wash by hand anyway? Let the garment soak gently, do not rube and make sure the temperature is around 30°C. Fibers can shrink by using too hot or too cold water.
Do not wash the garment. Manufacturers often choose to safest option as a precaution. With the exception of lined blazers and very delicate garments, you can often safely wash a garment by using a hand wash program and a mesh laundry bag. We always indicate this when that applies for an item.
