It's the age old advice your grandmother gave you – hot water washes clothes better than cold water. Recent innovations in laundry appliances, however, have made decisions in the laundry room easier and more efficient than ever. The new top-load Cabrio® Platinum washer and dryer by Whirlpool brand will give your clothes the best possible care and make not taking your grandmother's advice the best choice.
To help improve consumers' fabric care results, experts from the Whirlpool Institute of Fabric Science, the online hub for everything laundry, have debunked several laundry myths below.
MYTH: Cold water is not optimal for whites, and will not get your toughest stains out.
FACT: The Cabrio® Clean Care Cycle uses adaptive wash actions combined with a concentrated solution of HE detergent and cold water to gently lift stains and soils from fabrics. The use of cold water to wash like a warm water cycle protects fabrics from heat damage and uses less energy and provides the best care for your clothes(1).
MYTH: The fewer things you put in the washer the better they will come out.
FACT: Now wash up to three baskets of laundry in a single load and stop worrying that they won't get cleaned. The premium Cabrio washer 4.6 cu. ft. capacity wash basket adapts to both large and small loads for optimal fabric care.
MYTH: The dryer leads to shrinkage.
FACT: It's actually a lack of moisture - not heat - that causes clothes to shrink. New technology like the Advanced Moisture Sensing drying system in the Cabrio® HE dryer uses three built-in sensors to read incoming air temperature and outgoing air temperature while monitoring moisture levels inside the dryer, so the drying cycle can end when everything is perfectly dry, to prevent overdrying.
"Whirlpool brand is focused on making their consumer's lives easier," said Tremitchell Wright, Fabric Care and Engineering Expert at the Institute of Fabric Science. "With advanced intuitive features available in the premium Cabrio® HE pair consumers can stop guessing what to do in the laundry room and trust that their laundry is going to come out clean."
The new top-load HE Cabrio® Platinum washer with Clean Care Cycle is available at national retailers in white (WTW8600YW) and chrome shadow (WTW8800YC/W) with an MSRP starting at $999.
