Miele Suppliers UK: Why your Eco-Friendly Wash isn’t a very Germ-Friendly Wash

In recent years, we’ve all become increasingly aware of the need to help the environment, and to lessen the impact we have on the world’s natural resources. Recycling cardboard, driving greener cars and saving on water usage have become second nature to us, and the way we use electricity has also become an important issue. While the need for more ecological thinking is to be applauded, there are times when we need to see the big picture.

In order to save on domestic power, we have been urged for some time now to use a lower setting on washing machines. The 30-degree wash has become a regular feature in many homes and businesses, although there have been questions raised about the viability of such a strategy. The whole point of doing the laundry is get the clothes cleaner, of course, but many experts fear that in some ways it’s doing exactly the opposite.

The problem arises because a cooler wash is unable to destroy any bacteria that may be prevalent in the garments. If the water isn’t hot enough to remove the germs, they will simply remain in the washing machine and, in time, infect other items of clothing as well. It’s a vicious circle that can end up having extremely serious consequences. Sometimes, hotter will often be better.

Spend a little more on washing, but save a tidy sum on drying with Miele Suppliers UK

At Allsop & Francis, we know that a hotter wash will cost slightly more, but our machines use less water so will save money elsewhere. As an approved partner of Miele Suppliers UK, we offer a range of superb machines that provide the very best cleaning for everything from a single load once a day to a multitude of washes from first thing in the morning to last thing at night. Your business deserves the finest machines, and that’s exactly what we supply.

Another way in which money can be saved is by more efficient drying. Our washing machines employ a high spin speed, thereby leaving less water in the clothing, meaning shorter time is needed in the tumble dryer. And with our excellent range of highly impressive tumble dryers, we can help you achieve perfect washing and drying results time after time. Your business, and your bank balance, will soon feel the benefits.

The battle to keep bacteria at bay is something we tend to associate more with the refrigerator than with the washing machine, but everyone needs to be aware of the repercussions of not taking the matter seriously. If you tend to only do 30-degree washes, there is a very real danger of bacterial infection. Therefore, it makes sense to run a hotter wash on a regular basis to avoid future problems.
