The technology in washing machines today has rapidly evolved, bringing users numerous benefits including health advantages, energy savings, immaculate clothes, and even time spent alongside the washer. With the hot water washing feature (TrueSteam) on LG washing machine models such as the LG Inverter AI DD 8.5 Kg FV1408S4W, significant health benefits have been delivered to consumers. Let's delve into this unique feature with Mytour Supermarket!
1. How does the hot water washing mode work?

The solubility of laundry detergent is directly proportional to the water temperature. Hence, the hotter the water, the faster and more effective the detergent dissolves, leading to better cleaning results for clothes. Therefore, LG has integrated TrueSteam steam washing technology with the principle of hot water turning into mist to spray gently into the washing drum, penetrating each fabric fiber to effectively clean clothes.
2. Why Use Hot Water Washing Mode?

Children's clothing and some delicate fabrics like silk and wool require stricter washing conditions, often needing hot water or steam washing to disinfect and protect the fabric fibers. Water is heated in the steam generator and sprayed directly into the washing drum as mist, permeating each fabric fiber to leave clothes flat, soft, odor-free, and free from skin irritants right out of the washing drum.
3. Indirect Hot Water Washing Technology Enhances Washing Machine Hygiene

Most users worry that hot water will damage the washing machine. Don't fret about it! LG washing machines with this feature are designed with stainless steel drums, unaffected by hot water and detergents. Moreover, hot water indirectly cleans the washing machine more effectively when combined with LG's Tub Clean mode (washing drum sanitation). You won't spend much time cleaning the machine and will save a lot of water and electricity.
4. Appropriate Water Temperature According to Fabric Material

The following information is crucial for you to consider when using the hot water washing feature on your washing machine because each type of fabric has a different temperature threshold:
- From 30°C to below 40°C: Suitable for thin, delicate, color-fading-prone fabrics, synthetic fiber items, and pure wool items.
- At 40°C: This temperature is the most common and can be used for washing most fabrics like cotton, pure wool, sheepskin, blankets, and bedspreads. However, special fabrics like silk, satin, sportswear, dark-colored items, and non-pure wool should not be washed at this temperature.
- From 40°C to below 60°C: Fabrics that come into direct contact with the skin such as underwear, towels, diapers, or synthetic fiber clothing.
- At 60°C: At this temperature, consumers can use it to wash cotton, colorfast fabrics, fabrics made from cotton, and linen materials.
- From 60°C to below 95°C: This temperature range is suitable for washing children's clothes or clothes made from non-fading materials such as shirts, pajamas, and white cotton fabrics.
