110An investigation into the domestic laundry habits in Europeshould be redoubled, if possible, to achieve even greater efficiency when itcomes to the standardisation of care labels.
6 Further recommendationsIt has become clear from this research that laundering practices, consumerattitudes and the efficacy of laundering processes differ substantially betweenthe European countries.This is one of the reasons why the primary effect of laundering – the removalof soil – differs from one country to another. But these factors also impact thelevel of hygiene.A very general finding is that in daily laundering, the cleaning properties arepoorer at lower temperatures. Thus lower temperatures mean lower hygienelevels. Further research into this matter is needed, and policy measures shouldbe developed to inform consumers about this matter.Proposals for further investigations:• In the present research, the effect of the washing machine type has notbeen taken into account. As such influence is likely, initiating research onthis aspect is recommended.• The results of this research for the Spanish situation show that even at lowwash temperatures an appropriate level of cleaning and hygiene can beachieved. It could prove rewarding to further investigate the Spanish situation.• Further studies to investigate the types of textiles and the impact of detergentsand the washing programme cycles on them should be considered.This is particularly of interest in light of the rapid development of clothesand garments using many new combinations of textiles.
