Waschtiefe

Waschtiefe refers to the depth to which laundry is submerged in water during the washing process. It is a crucial factor in determining the effectiveness of the washing cycle. The appropriate waschtiefe depends on the type of fabric and the specific washing machine being used. For most fabrics, a waschtiefe of around 10-15 centimeters (4-6 inches) is recommended. This depth ensures that the fabric is thoroughly soaked, allowing the detergent to penetrate and clean effectively. However, for delicate fabrics or items with intricate designs, a shallower waschtiefe may be necessary to prevent damage. Conversely, for heavily soiled items, a deeper waschtiefe may be required to ensure complete cleaning. It is important to consult the care instructions on the garment label or the washing machine manual to determine the optimal waschtiefe for specific items.
