This is the latest machine that has been produced in collaboration with P & G, the first being the Hotpoint models with the new Eco wash programmes that work in conjunction with Ariel Gel, Will be interesting to see what direction manufactures go now after the EU have decared to ban machines that cant do specific cold water washers, These machines have phased time/temp profile washes to work in conjunction with Ariel Gel and to get the best results, the programmes are staged and longer in wash times It will definately be an education process for some consumers!!! Cold Wash and Quick will not = Clean Clothes!!! |

I been having pretty good results from my friends Samsung washer with the silver care option, I did a test it with dirty white socks in ( COLD ) water and was amazed at the results not bad at all. So I am getting really a odd feeling in washing clothes lately in warmer are hot water washing, but still do hot washes in my machines at home. So the trend begins again and I think it will get better with new product's in the future. Do you guys think it will make textiles last longer? Darren k |

Does not take away from the four main factors of good laundry habits, time, temperature, chemical and mechanical action. Detergents designed for cold/low wash water temperature washing are stronger than "hot" water detergents. Thankfully one can see ingredients of European detergents and one sees cold water detergents contain much more bleach, bleach activators, enzymes, OBAs and so forth. In short because they must cope with a loss of heat action, the chemical action is increased. Even Tide "Coldwater" is slightly stronger than Tide or Tide with Bleach. |

will need more thorough rinsing to end up with the same level of residue, right? |

And place it into a pan of cold water, and you will see it mainly sits sitting. Now place the pan on the range and setting the heat to low, watch what happens as the water temperature gradually increases. Much of what soils laundry,especially items worn close to the skin have body oils as the main type of "dirt". Such dirt will not shift easily in cool or cold water, hence the increased detergent action required and or enzymes. The other problem is keeping such oily muck away from not only laundry being washed by suspension in the wash water, but also from coating the insides of a washing machine. Many European/UK washing machine repair persons are seeing an increase in washers that are full of mould, mildew and god only knows what else growing inside the machine. Mould, contrary to popular belief just does not grow on it's own, like all living things it requires something to feed upon. In the case of gunky washing machines the residue of body oils, detergents, soaps and so forth provide the food, while the damp and warm conditions make an ideal home. |
