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 />
