article : A Guide to Washing Machines

They may all look similar, but when it comes to washing machines the difference is in the detail.

Three to Look Out For


Today's latest machines will often offer several useful cycles on top of the standard ones we are used to, although the terms different manufacturers use to describe them may vary slightly. For example:


Hand Wash
For clothes that are labelled 'hand wash only' – not the same as the delicates or woollens programmes.

Start advertisment

End advertisment


Freshen Up
A recent introduction to some machines. It basically rinses and spins clothes that may just need a spruce up rather than a complete wash.


Stains Guide
Siemens' latest models have a built-in guide to the right programmes to use for specific stain removals.
