LittleSwan showcases cold-water laundry technology

LittleSwan displayed a fully transparent washing machine featuring cold-water laundry technology solution at the Appliance & Electronics World Expo (AWE)on March 8 in Shanghai. The new cloth washing and fabric care technology originally created by the China-based washing machine manufacturer is accredited by the Germany-based VDE (Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker).

As reported, LittleSwan’s cold-water laundry technology enables washing without needing for the water to be heated while achieving a level of cleanliness of 1.05 usually achieved with front loading washing machines using 40°C (104°F) hot water. This eliminates the high level of energy consumption associated with traditional washing machines due to the need to heat the water for the laundering process. In addition, the risk of damage to the fabric from hot water is also done away with, assuring that the clothes do not become discolored and retain their original color brightness.

The cold-water laundry technology has also received certification from the China Household Electric Appliance Research Institute (CHEARI). The technology resulted in 39.7 less discoloration of the clothing being washed and a 45.5 percent decrease in wool shrinkage, while effectively protecting the protein fiber in fine fabrics such as silk.
