Washing machine might be ruining clothes.
Your clothes are damaged after the wash. There might be several reasons for that. Check out possible reasons and get more info how to avoid such damages.
Poor quality fabric. Consider washing labels.
Damage to clothing, such as holes, tears and loose stitching, may indicate poor quality fabric rather than a washing machine or usage issue. Always read clothing labels before purchase to determine their quality.
The wrong washing programme has been used.
It is important to use the correct washing program for your specific load to ensure optimum washing performance. There are, for instance, some washing programs, which use fast spin speeds such as 1400 rpm, however these particular programmes are only suitable for hard-wearing clothes. If these programs are used to clean loads consisting of mostly delicate clothes, this could potentially cause damage to them.
Consult your instruction manual to find out which programs are available on your Siemens washing machine and for which loads and garments they should be used.
For more information on the most important programs that can be found on our Siemens washing machines:
The washing machine drum is overloaded.
Overloading the washing machine will force some of the clothes to rub up against the rubber door seal and the glass, which can cause stress on the fabric and result in rips and tears.

The wrong detergent has been used. Which washing detergent should be used?
Not using the correct type of detergent could also cause significant damage to your clothes. Ensure that you are using the correct type of detergent depending on the type of fabric you are washing, and if you are unsure check the care label on your items of clothing.

Transfer damage from clothing and foreign objects.
Another common reason for damaged clothes is transfer damage caused by other clothing, notably open zips, and foreign objects in the drum. To avoid this type of damage, make sure that all zips are zipped up before putting them in the drum and remove any foreign objects from pockets such as coins.
A great tip to help avoid fabric damage is to turn your clothing inside out before putting them in the drum.
