100 Years of washing<br />
Looking at laundry through fresh eyes<br />
In 2001, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Miele</strong> washing machine<br />
celebrat ed its 100th anniversary. Back in<br />
1901, <strong>Miele</strong> built <strong>the</strong>ir first wooden-tub<br />
washer and, in doing so, took a decisive<br />
step in <strong>the</strong> history of domestic appliances.<br />
A century ago, washing laundry was hard<br />
graft and toil.<br />
<strong>Miele</strong>’s first washing machines greatly<br />
reduced <strong>the</strong> elbow grease and time needed<br />
to wash laundry and ever since <strong>the</strong>n, <strong>Miele</strong><br />
have led <strong>the</strong> way in laundry technology. We<br />
were <strong>the</strong> first to launch a washing machine<br />
with electronic controls, <strong>the</strong> first to invent<br />
updateable machines to which new programmes<br />
can be added and <strong>the</strong> first to<br />
include a Handwash programme for woollens<br />
and silks on every machine in <strong>the</strong> range. Our<br />
latest washing machines and tumble dryers<br />
feature unique automatic programmes as<br />
well as a number of special programmes for<br />
particular fabrics in cluding denim, outerwear<br />
and shirts.<br />
