We work hard to create high-performing washing machines that take better care of fabrics, save money and reduce the environmental footprint.
Electrolux offers a range of technologies and appliances with superb environmental performance. Say hello to two of our best caring friends, SoftWater Technology for consumers and Efficient Dosing System for professional users.
The new SoftWater Technology, available in the AEG 9000 Series washing machines, prevents fading and keeps fabrics soft and in-shape while reducing the environmental impact of laundry.
Water contains minerals that are harsh on fabrics. To keep the minerals from harming garments, SoftWater Technology purifies and softens the water used, without adding chemicals. The inlet water passes through an ion-exchange filter, where damaging minerals are removed and replaced with clothes-friendly sodium ions. Detergents work more efficiently in soft water so the machine is able to deliver 60 degree cleaning performance at only 30 degrees. Washing at 30 degrees is much gentler on fabrics, so colors remain brighter for longer. It also reduces the use of energy and detergents.
SoftWater Technology became available under the Electrolux brand in December 2016.

Overdosing on detergent is more of a rule than an exception, even in professional laundries. In most cases, the amount of detergent is not adapted to linen weight and the machine simply assumes a full load. With the Efficient Dosing System, Electrolux Professional machines work in the exact opposite way, resulting in the lowest cycle cost for big laundries, for instance in hotels and hospitals. The process is 100 percent automatic, so all you have to do is press start.
