Does a fully automatic washing machine have a steam washing function and can it remove bacteria and allergens?

Steam washing function
The steam washing function is an innovative technology in modern fully automatic washing machines. It generates high-temperature steam and sprays it directly onto clothes, using the high temperature and moisture of steam to help dissolve stains, oil stains and fine dirt particles on clothes. This washing method is gentler than traditional water washing, less damaging to clothes, and can clean clothes more deeply.
Unlike ordinary water washing modes, the steam washing function does not require a large amount of detergent. The temperature of steam can usually reach more than 40 degrees Celsius, which helps kill most bacteria and microorganisms, thereby achieving a more hygienic washing effect.

How does steam washing remove bacteria and allergens
The high temperature of steam can effectively remove bacteria on the surface and in the fibers of clothes. Many studies have shown that steam washing can kill common bacteria including salmonella and E. coli while cleaning clothes. Steam penetrates through the fibers of clothes, not only removing stains attached to the surface, but also penetrating deep into the fibers to remove bacteria, viruses or allergens that may be hidden inside the clothes.
For people with allergies at home, the steam washing function can also play a positive role. The high temperature of steam not only helps to remove bacteria, but also effectively removes pollen, dust mites and other common allergens from fibers, reducing the occurrence of allergic reactions. This is especially important for families with infants or sensitive family members.

Effects of steam washing on clothing
Compared with traditional washing methods, steam washing causes less damage to clothing. Traditional mechanical stirring and water flow can easily cause wear and tear on clothing, especially for delicate fabrics and easily deformed clothing. Steam washing, on the other hand, cleans clothing in a gentle way, avoiding damage to clothing caused by excessive friction. High-temperature steam can also effectively remove wrinkles on clothing, reduce the need for ironing, and make clothing look neater. Steam washing can also effectively remove odors from clothing. Smoke, sweat, food odors, etc. can all be removed by the action of steam, so that clothing can keep a fresh smell.

Other advantages of steam washing function
In addition to being able to remove bacteria and allergens, steam washing has other advantages. First, it can complete the cleaning process in a shorter time. This is particularly convenient for people with a fast pace of life. Steam washing can efficiently penetrate stains and remove them quickly, allowing the washing machine to improve the cleaning effect without adding extra washing time. The low energy consumption of steam washing is also a major advantage. Compared with traditional hot water washing, steam washing requires relatively less heat and is more energy-saving. For families who need environmental protection and energy saving, this function is undoubtedly an ideal choice.

The steam washing function of the fully automatic washing machine can not only clean clothes more deeply through the action of high-temperature steam, but also effectively sterilize and remove allergens. Its gentle washing method can reduce the wear of clothes and protect the quality and appearance of clothes. For people with allergies, steam washing can also effectively reduce the residue of allergens and bring a healthier laundry experience.
