Quite simply, to provide the best fabric care possible. Each program has specific parameters in terms of water levels, drum rhythms, time and spin profile to clean and protect all the various fabrics and fibers in our clothes. The various options allow you to adapt a given program to your specific needs. For example, if you need additional cleaning performance, the Heavy Soil option can be selected. Or, if you are washing clothes for someone with sensitive skin, the Sensitive option adds a rinse cycle to ensure textiles are free from detergent residues.

There are many reasons why Miele makes for a superior drying experience. The Honeycomb drum creates little pockets of air that leads to a "cushioning effect". This ensures even drying results and reduces wrinkling. The Electronic Moisture Sensor measures the conductivity of the water in the clothing to precisely terminate the heat when the target is met to prevent over-drying of the fibers. And the drum rotates in both directions, preventing items from tangling and rolling up into a ball.

Regular detergents create too much foam, and that prevents proper tumbling action of the clothes. So your clothes just don't come out as clean. High Efficiency detergents are designed for use in front-loaders and formulated for use in low-water volume. Our CareCollection products are not just High Efficiency detergents that can be used in any front-loader, but they are specifically designed for Miele washers. Now, that's innovative!

Powder detergents are especially effective at lifting out clay and ground-in dirt, but liquid detergents are more effective on greasy and oily soils. Many detergents have added enzymes that break down protein stains and soils. However, using a detergent like that for your woolens will result in fiber damage, as wool is a protein. So you would need to use a special, gentler detergent for your woolens and delicates. Take a look at the wide range of specialty detergents available at the Miele Boutique.
