Pesutemperatuuri

Pesutemperatuuri refers to the washing temperature used for laundry. It is a crucial factor in effectively cleaning clothes, removing stains, and preventing damage to fabrics. Different types of fabrics and stains require specific washing temperatures for optimal results.

Generally, lower temperatures, such as 30-40 degrees Celsius, are suitable for delicate fabrics like wool, silk, and synthetics, as well as lightly soiled items. These temperatures are also more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Medium temperatures, around 50-60 degrees Celsius, are effective for cotton and linen fabrics that are moderately soiled. These temperatures help to kill some bacteria and remove tougher stains. Higher temperatures, typically 70-90 degrees Celsius, are reserved for heavily soiled items, bedding, towels, and garments that require thorough disinfection. These high temperatures are best suited for durable fabrics like cotton and linen that can withstand heat.

The pesutemperatuuri is usually indicated on the garment's care label, often represented by a thermometer icon with water levels or numbers. Adhering to these recommendations is essential to avoid shrinking, stretching, fading, or damaging clothes. Using the correct washing temperature also contributes to the longevity of garments and the efficiency of the washing machine. It is also important to consider the type of detergent used, as some detergents are formulated to work best at specific temperatures.
