Washing Eco: The Greenest Ways to do Your Laundry
A key concern of the present day is arguably environmental friendliness. From recycling to watching your water consumption, society is instructed to do its best. However some sources accuse washing machines of counteracting these efforts, suggesting that they waste both energy and water. Contemporary companies, fortunately, are now spending a significant amount of time combating this assumption, and here’s how:
With greener dish and clothes washing in mind, Bosch launched a new range of appliances in 2010. Time and energy are easily saved: this range has a dishwasher that can clean an entire load with a mere 7 litres of water as well as a washer and dryer that can wash double the laundry with only half the water. Bosch has also released a washing machine that uses up to 30% less energy whilst being quieter, faster and more energy efficient all round thanks to a patented EcoSilence motor.
Hotpoint and Ariel have been working in partnership to develop a new selection of energy saving Eco Cycles. Using Ariel liquid with Hotpoint’s machines is said to enable great cleaning even at low temperatures, thus saving electricity and money. To put this in perspective, washing machines now come with eco friendly ratings ranging from A to G, A meaning that they are environmentally friendly and consume minimal energy and water. The Bosch WAE24366GB, with its Eco Perfect button, has been rated A for energy and wash performance and B for spin speed.
LG washing machines were the first to incorporate eco-friendly steam technology, cleaning with less energy and water while preventing shrinkage and extending the life cycle of garments. As well as featuring the Refresh Course process (which allows for the reduction of odours and also wrinkles without ironing), the LG Steam Washing Machine (and others like it) cleans both itself and the clothes inside it to a very high standard of hygiene.
