Mine does. Many years ago - talking vintage here - it was standard in combination washer/dryers for the last rinse to be warm. The advertising claimed that warm water spun out better, rinsed better and dried faster. Siemens/Bosch/Constructa/etc. out of that house had a "thermo-rinse" option for many years. Same basic claim, don't know if it really helped. I do know that wool reacts badly to sharp temperature changes and agitation or tumbling, so can see the point in that. Anybody have any firm data on whether a warm rinse really makes a difference today? I understand why it would have with soap. Not so sure about other detergents. |

There are some LG washingmachines that have the ECO-option (or something like that), if you select this option the rinse cycles are automatically done with warm water. |

I`ve heard about those Bosch Siemens Constructa washer-dryers in an old advertising. The ad just said the machine will warm up the laundry before drying to get considerably better extraction results with 800 rpm. I think it also mentioned the savings of energy. I didn`t know until now that the last rinse water was heated. Thought it might perhaps warm up the laundry after a short spin with hot air and then spin again. Have never seen one in action. Only know their "normal" washes of that time and I didn`t like them for not extracting between the rinses at all. I find it hard to believe that there have been any savings of energy. Perhaps they only took the drying cycle into account. Milchmädchenrechnung ? I also wonder if there have been many faulty heaters because of limescale deposits, as in the Calgon ads. There should not be that much phosphates or whatever be left in the last rinse to protect the heater. |
