What does a washing machine with steam do?
Washing machine with steam
There are various washing machines with steam. The function of these programs differs per model:
*Reduce ironing
- Freshen up with steam
- Steam hygienically
Reduce ironing
One of the advantages of a washing machine with steam is less ironing. So you're done ironing faster. If you often wash dress shirts, you can use this function. The washing machine adds steam at the end of the cycle and straightens out wrinkles. Not all washing machines have a steaming function to reduce ironing. That's why it's important to always check what kind of steaming function the washing machine has. You can find this in the product filter and on the product page.
Freshen up with steam
You can also use the steaming function to freshen up laundry. That's useful if your shirt smells a bit musty after only wearing it once, but doesn't have stains. Or, if you're sweater has been lying in the closet for some time. The washing machine freshens up with steam without adding water. This saves both detergent and energy. And your clothes last longer, as they won't wear as quickly.
Hygienic washing
Do you often wash bedding, baby clothes, or do you have an extra sensitive skin? Choose a washing machine that washes extra hygienically. The washing machine adds steam during the cycle and removes bacteria and allergens. If you have a pet hair, dust mite, pollen, or different allergy, buy a washing machine with steam. Make sure the steaming function can be used to clean hygienically, not just to reduce ironing and freshen up clothes. You can see this in the product filter and on the product page.
All functions
If you're looking for a washing machine with a steaming function with various advantages, select it in the product filter. Do make sure to always check the laundry label of your clothes before washing them. Does it have a drum with a cross through it on the label? Avoid both the dryer and the steaming function of your washing machine. That's because the steaming function could shrink your laundry. Have a look at the manual of your washing machine as well, and check how many kilograms of laundry the steaming function is suitable for.
Washing machine brands with steam
Various washing machine brands have a steam function. Choose an AEG washing machine with ProSteam, a Samsung model with hygienic steaming, or a Beko washing machine with IronFast, for example. Bosch, Siemens, Haier, LG and Whirlpool washing machines also have a steam function. When you choose a washing machine with a steam function, carefully check the steam function type. This way, you can be sure that the appliance meets your expectations.
