Laundry

Why doesn’t the apparel laundry begin immediately with warm water?
or the proper apparel laundry, a pre-wash must precede with cold or tepid water, for achieving the water penetration within the fabric fibers and the removal of external substances and microbes. In this way, the protein residues are not made permanent.
Then, laundry with warm water and detergent follows and the microbial burden is neutralized.
Why does laundry temperature must not exceed the 90ºC?
At such a high temperature, your apparel may be damaged. We care about the qualitative management of your apparel regarding not only its cleaning and hygiene, but also its duration and endurance.
