Overview of the Cotton Eco mode in the washing machine

Overview of the Cotton Eco mode in the washing machine When using a washing machine, it is very important to know in what case a particular washing program should be used. At first, it may be difficult for the owner to navigate the icons and functions, but everything comes with experience. The Cotton Eco mode is one of the most popular modes in any washing machine, so you need to know everything about it, which machines have it and how does it work?

In LG technology

Absolutely all washing machines of this Korean company are equipped with the Cotton Eco program. The interesting thing is that in addition to this mode, washing machines contain several other similar programs, but more on that later. First, let's look at how the unit implements the Cotton Eco program.

The temperature is set automatically and is 60 degrees. This is the upper limit. If desired, the user can reduce the water temperature to 40, 30 degrees or even set the washing mode to cold water.
The washing time is also set by default and depends on several factors. For example, whether the user turned on the spin and additional rinse modes, what temperature he set. The more additional functions are implemented and the higher the temperature, the longer the work process will take.
Also, in parallel with the Cotton Eco mode, you can activate the timer, pre-wash, time saving, and intensive mode.
It is possible to deactivate the spin cycle if the need arises.

In addition to the Cotton Eco mode, LG washing machines also have Cotton, Cotton Fast and Mixed fabric programs. They are not much different from each other. The only difference between these modes and Cotton Eco is that you can set the temperature up to 95 degrees yourself.As mentioned above, Eco Cotton washes at a maximum of 60 degrees.

Bosch washing machines

There are even more cotton programs in the washing machine of this brand. However, it is not easy to understand them, since they differ from each other only in the washing temperature, which is set by default when activating a particular program. There are five modes for washing cotton:

Cotton 30 degrees;
Cotton 40 degrees;
Cotton 60 degrees;
Cotton Eco 60 degrees;
Cotton 90 degrees.

It's time to explain what the ubiquitous prefix Eco means. In this mode, the machine consumes the least energy, and water consumption is generally at a minimum. On average, this type of washing consumes 13 liters of water less than washing in a normal mode. However, it is worth remembering that Eco washing does not save time at all and is the longest of all Bosch washing programs. If you do not take into account additional parameters such as pre-wash, etc., the machine will spend more than 3 hours washing in Eco mode.

This is because the default mode includes several rinse cycles, so it is recommended for washing light items and fabrics, as well as for washing clothes worn by allergy sufferers.

On Samsung washing machines

Samsung produces washing machines with different functionality, so the Cotton Eco program can not be found on every model. But if the mode is still present, it has the following parameters:

Washing temperature from 40 to 60 degrees.
The spin speed is not limited.
The pre-wash function is enabled, but can be disabled if desired.
The wash lasts a little over 2 hours.

Basically, this program is used to wash various fabrics with medium and very light soiling.You can wash bed linen, underwear, towels, tablecloths, blouses and shirts, etc. If you are the owner of a SM of another brand, but see that your model also has a Cotton Eco mode, take a look at the instructions. As a rule, there manufacturers give brief characteristics of each program.
