I like to consult the table that explains what every program really does for any washing machines that I use :)

I want relatively short, more water than minimum, medium-gentle agitation, medium RPM spin dry. It has many names.

Same query, but for my dryer. Particularly the "Jeans" program. It is explicitly stated on every pair of jeans which I own that I should never attempt this.

And yet, the program exists. Did they find a workaround? Or are they selling an empty promise?

The problem with clothing labels is that they don't know the type of equipment you have. Lots of stuff that says on the label to never put in the dryer works fine in my heat-pump dryer, because it doesn't get nearly as hot as a conventional dryer.
