How to care for your Schönhaus washing machine

Beautifully at home – here’s how to make the most of your Schönhaus washing machine.

1. Check all laundry care labels first

Separate and sort your laundry before each wash, carefully checking fabric care labels.

The label shows if an item is machine washable, as well as the right temperature and cycle to choose.

2. Don’t overload your washing machine

Overfilling the drum stops the water and laundry detergent circulating freely, affecting cleaning performance. It can also damage the balance of your washing machine.

You should be able to fit your hand on top of your laundry and turn it 90°.

3. Choose the laundry programme you need

From Quick Wash to Allergy Care, your Schönhaus washing machine offers 15 programmes – while the gentler action of its 3D Bubble drum is perfect for taking care of delicate fabrics such as synthetics and wool.

Selecting the eco option will reduce your energy and water use.

4. Always follow the laundry detergent dosing guidelines

Adding too much laundry detergent can affect the rinsing cycle, leaving residue in your washing machine and clothes not feeling clean.

So always follow the detergent dosing guidelines, keeping load size, fabric type and water hardness in mind.

5. Let your washing machine ‘breathe’ when not in use

Letting your washing machine ‘breathe’ when empty helps prevent mildew and mould build-up. Leave the door and detergent drawer open between cycles to air the seals and drum.

Giving your washing machine a regular service-level deep clean will also keep it smelling fresh and performing at its best.
