Eco-friendly stain removal at low temperatures

We recommend: the Hotpoint Active Care washing machine

Keeping your favourite clothes clean and stain-free can feel like a never-ending chore.

Removes stubborn stains at low temperatures

When you need brilliant results and don’t want to waste hot water, the Hotpoint Active Care washing machine can do the job from as low as 20 degrees. For more stubborn stains, the ‘Anti Stain 40 degree’ programme steps up to get rid of the marks.

Save on your energy bills

Being eco-friendly doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice cleaning power. The Steam Hygiene mode injects steam directly into the drum at the end of the wash, which gets rid of most bacteria without using any harsh chemicals.

For smaller loads that you need done quickly, the Rapid option cuts washing times in half, which means no more wasted water. If you need the full cycle, the Eco option will reduce its consumption, helping you save money on your energy bill.

Blast through the ironing

If you’re not a fan of ironing (let’s face it, who is?), or if the shirt you need in the morning is creased, the Steam Refresh cycle freshens things up and removes creases without the need for a full wash.

Removes major allergens

If you’ve got someone in the house with allergies, pollen and dust can get ingrained in your clothes, and even the longest wash might not get rid of everything. The Anti-Allergy option uses a combination of high temperatures and extra rinses to neutralise and remove up to 99.9% of major allergens, keeping your clothes fresh and dust free.

Powerful deep cleaning from a smart washing machine

We recommend: Samsung ecobubble washing machine

When you need a washing machine with the deepest cleaning power, ecobubble technology by Samsung will clean your clothes like a pro.

Deep cleaning with care

It mixes your detergent with air and water to create a bubbly mixture that penetrates your clothes more effectively. It removes dirt more easily, and the deep cleaning power means a colder wash is just as reliable as a hot one.

To make sure you’re getting the more thorough clean, just add the 30 minute bubble soak option to your chosen cycle and even the worst stains can be lifted.

Unique, useful design

To care for your clothes and stop them from getting snagged, the Samsung ecobubble washing machine has a unique diamond embossed drum design – which creates a cushioned layer of water that keeps everything protected.

If you’re fed up with cleaning out the detergent drawer, this one has been redesigned with powerful water jets that wash the drawer for you, making sure there’s no residue left to build up.

Reliable and smart

This smart machine comes with an app called Smart Check that lets you keep an eye on how your washer is running. Further down the line, it can also diagnose any potential problems with the machine, which could help you avoid costly and inconvenient engineer callouts.
