Miele 421 De Luxe 1965 Lavaggio Lana 211221

This is a complete wool cycle with the Miele 421 De Luxe from 1965 for washing "heavy / resistant" woolen garments (blankets, socks, etc.) that require pre-washing and includes: a 7-minute pre-wash in cold water; this is followed by the drain and a pause to allow the water dripping from the laundry to fill the bottom of the tub. Thanks to this precaution, the washing detergent is not lost in the drain pipes but dissolves completely in the washing water. The wash lasts 12 minutes and reaches a temperature of 30 degrees centigrade. The washing is followed by 2 rinses without spinning and a final rinse with the addition of additives (softener or other) then the timer advances to the end of the cycle without draining the water to keep the wool soft while waiting for the choice of the final operation and laundry unloading. At this point you can choose a final cycle between draining without spin or the recommended short spin. The centrifuge provides for an initial fast spin, then the speed decreases to allow the garments to reposition themselves better and then the speed gradually increases up to 700 rpm. Once this speed is reached, the spin ends leaving the wool soft and fluffy. I used the "vintage" Perlana powder detergent as an exception ... and I added a small amount of fabric softener to avoid the formation of static electricity during the subsequent drying phase in the Miele 421 matching dryer Miele Electronic 460 from 1965
