Extend the Life of Your Clothes with AEG

With today’s love of fast fashion, extending the life of your clothes has never been more important. When we think about caring for our favourite items of clothing and how best to wash them, it’s worth considering how our washing habits are extending or reducing the life of our clothes, as well as how the washing machine and dryer we own impact this.

Here are some of our best tips on caring for your clothes:

Our Tips to Care for Your Clothes:

 

  • Use the right amount of detergent

When it comes to clothes fading prematurely, how much detergent you’re using can be directly impacting this. Use too little detergent and your clothes aren’t cleaned effectively, but too much and your clothes can fade, which means shortening their lifetime. A simple way to reduce the guesswork is to purchase a washing machine with AutoDose technology. Washing Machines from AEG offer this feature by weighing the load and automatically adjusting the dosage of detergent to the optimal amount, giving you clothes that retain their vibrancy.

 

  • Use the ‘Delicates’ cycle

We’ve all experienced the disappointment of buying a garment and seeing the label “hand-wash only” when it’s time to throw it in the wash. Many people don’t realise that a lot of washing machines have a “Delicates” or “Hand-wash” setting that can handle just this, giving you back valuable time and allowing the machine to wash the item perfectly.

 

  •  Use Steam Refresh

If you’ve only worn a garment once and it just needs a refresh, running it through a Steam Cycle could be just the ticket. The AEG Steam Refresh program gently deodorises and decrease wrinkles, leaving you with a garment that feels like it’s just come out from the wash in just 25 minutes. By using this feature, you avoid using a full wash cycle on your clothing, saving you and your home time and energy.

 

  •  Tumble-Dry Your Clothes

New research has shown that tumble drying could actually be the way to extend the longevity of your clothes, as it maintains their shape and texture. AEG’s AbsoluteCare system gives a tailored program that controls the movements of the machine and the temperature, allowing knit jumpers and other delicates to retain their shape and reduce shrinkage. More delicate items that direct “hand wash only” can be kept lying flat against the drum which replicates drying it flat.

 

 

Our Favourite AEG Laundry Appliances:

AEG 10kg Series 9000 Washing Machine (LF9C1612AQ 823876)

Our Favourite Features:

  • AutoDose technology
  • OKOMix
  • ProSense
  • ProSteam
  • With this 10kg Series 9000 washing machine, you’ll be investing in the latest technology. This family-  sized washing machine offers a range of great features to make your life easier.

Take the guesswork out of how much laundry detergent to use, and AutoDose does the work for you. The intelligent sensor senses your load and dispenses the optimal amount of detergent and/or softener needed, which works to protect your clothing from the damage over or underdosing causes.

When you have more delicate items or want to wash your new favourite pair of jeans, it can be difficult to choose which washing cycle to use without knowing the effect it will have on your garment. With ProSense, the inbuilt intelligent sensors detect your load and display the estimated wash time within 30 seconds of the start of the cycle, so the time, water and energy consumption are adjusted to suit your load, caring for your clothing and the environment in one.

ProSteam is perfect for giving your garments a quick refresh without having to wash them. You can also use ProSteam to reduce the time you have to iron as it uses the power of steam to smooth out wrinkles.

AEG 8kg 9000 Series Heat Pump Condenser Dryer (T8DHC876C 823875)

Our Favourite Features:

  • FiberPro System with 3D Scan Technology
  • 9 Star Energy Rating
  • AbosluteCare System
  • Woolmark Blue accreditation

Offering 10 drying programs to optimise your washing experience as well as an extra large door to assist with loading and unloading, this 8kg dryer cares for your clothes throughout the drying process.

You can ensure your clothes are dried with care thanks to 3D Scan Technology. This scanner works to detect the humidity levels on the surface and in the fibre make-up of your garments, and then adjusts the drying settings accordingly.

As explained previously, the AbsoluteCare System optimises the way your garments are dried in a way that keeps them as good as new. With this technology, fabrics are protected against under or over drying, giving you perfectly dried clothing that is longer lasting than if you used another dryer.

When you’re buying a woollen garment, one of the frustrating things after wearing it can be not knowing how it can be dried. Thanks to AEG’s Woolmark Blue Accreditation, woollen and more delicate items can be dried using the gentlest method.

It can be disappointing when you realise your favourite piece of clothing has become stretched out or worn down through the washing or drying process. Thanks to AEG, the lifetime of your clothing can be extended.

Their range of laundry appliances uses the gentlest methods to wash and dry clothes to the optimal conditions, giving you more time to enjoy them.
