Whirlpool Duet
Steam Washing Machines

We use steam in all sorts of ways - from saunas to steaming food and now we able to steam our clothes.

Whirlpool has developed a technology called “aquasteam.” This new system basically spurts steam into the washer drum; this raises the temperature of the washer and creates an environment ideal for removing stains. Yes, heat is good way to drive the stains out of our clothes.

You can use this steam technology in a variety of ways. The Sanitisation Option injects steam at the end of the wash in order to kill bacteria. This option is particularly good for delicate clothes.

The Refresh Option is a 20 minute cycle which just takes the nasty odors from a piece of clothing which is then ready to wear.
