It looks a bit different – here´s why
It's a simple fact that ASKO washing machines are among the cleanest in the business. Not just when it comes to the great job they do of making your clothes clean, fresh and looking like new; but also, in relation to how hygienic the machines themselves are.
It's one of those things that seems like an unusual contradiction at first – a washing machine? Dirty? Surely you fill it with soap and water every time you use it? But washing machines can harbor surprising amounts of grime, bacteria, fungus and other nasties – things that you really don't want lurking in your laundry, or next to your skin.
Now, many manufacturers make bold claims about the cleanliness of their machines, but this year ASKO have decided to put their money where their mouth is – commissioning a full microbiological report which proves that their machines are among the most hygienic you can have in your home.
Now, the results are in: and here's a summary of the key findings
ASKO washing machines: nine claims of cleanliness that prove they're among the most hygienic on the market.
1. A fully steel tub reduces bad smells inside the washing machine – and therefore, on your clothes. It helps eliminate the films of bacteria and fungi that create nasty odors in the machine and that can be transferred to your laundry. And ASKO washing machines have Double Stainless Steel drums – in which the outer drums are also made from stainless steel, instead of plastic.
2. ASKO's traditional Scandinavian "form and function" design can also be found inside the machine's tub, which has a positive effect. The tub is therefore relatively free from nooks and crannies in which mold and dirt can collect and bacteria can fester and multiply. Many manufacturers make their outer drums from plastic, which requires extra points of reinforcement in order to withstand the forces generated. And in these molded points of reinforcement, dirt and bacteria can easily collect.
8. Steel Seal is, quite simply, the hygienic choice when it comes to door seals in washing machines. Traditional rubber door seals are far likely to contain types of fungus, including varieties harmful to human health. A rubber seal is the number one location when it comes to finding certain types of pathogenic complexes.
