, trouble free life from your washing machine appliance.

Is it better for my washing machine to wash at 30 degrees? Some detergents now have cool clean technology that cleans clothes can be successfully washed in 30 degrees or lower water temperatures. Although its a common belief that washing clothes in 40 degrees is much better than 30 degrees, in reality youre not going to see much of a difference whether you wash at 30 or 40 degrees.

However, it is recommended that towels, underwear, bed sheets, wool, and socks should be washed at temperatures between 40-60 degrees to kill house or dust mites.

Using high temperature water is also recommended if you have dogs at home or a family member who is allergic to dust or house mites. Lindsey McManus from Allergy UK has been quoted as saying Sheets and clothes should definitely be washed at 60 degrees or more regularly to get rid of house dust mites and other allergens,".

An advantage to washing clothes at lower temperatures is you can save a lot of electricity. An average family will wash 274 loads a year, and emit about 130kg of CO2 in the process. CO2 is a green house gas, so this can eventually affect climate change. Washing clothes at lower temperatures does not only reduce our electric consumption, but is also good for our environment.

Why am I getting detergent streaks on my washed clothes? The most common cause of this is overloading your machine. There isnt enough room for the detergent to fully dissolve and mix with the water. An overfull machine cant rinse efficiently either.

Can Biological detergents cause skin irritation? A study conducted by British scientist in 2008 on enzyme-containing detergents showed that they didnt cause skin allergic reactions, nor do they aggravate skin problems. If anything, this study proved that biological detergents are perfectly safe to use.

Can Biological washing machine detergents damage woollens & silks? Yes, it is because biological detergents contain enzymes used to break down dirt. These enzymes are effective in removing protein from clothes such as egg stains. However, this same enzyme that eats away at dirt will also gradually eat away your silk and wool because they are also made from protein.

The enzymes cant make any distinction between the silk (or wool) and the dirt. Continuous use of biological detergents will damage these delicate fabrics causing holes and weakening your woolens.
