4 Reasons Why a Bosch i-DOS Washing Machine is Perfect for Your Household

Doing the laundry may seem simple but in reality, precise detergent dosage plays a large part in ensuring perfect wash results. From leftover detergent residue to improperly cleaned laundry, a number of problems are caused by using too little or too much detergent.

Compared to the troublesome task of reading detergent labels and manually dosing detergent with a measuring cup or scoop, Bosch washing machines with the i-DOS automatic dosing feature make doing laundry less of a chore.

Read on to discover how Bosch i-DOS washing machines can help you master your laundry like a professional.

Using too little detergent, especially for heavily soiled laundry, can lead to unsatisfactory results — stains and odours may remain on your laundry after the wash. Bosch i-DOS washing machines provide a perfect clean by automatically dispensing the optimal dose of detergent and softener. Thanks to integrated sensors located inside the drum, this innovative feature detects the load volume, fabric type, degree of soiling, and water hardness of every laundry load, in order to determine the optimal amount of detergent and softener to dispense.

Using too much detergent can result in traces of them remaining on your clothes, which may trigger irritation, rashes, and allergies for those with sensitive skin. By using only the precise amount of detergent needed, i-DOS washing machines give you clean, fresh laundry every time. For greater peace of mind, detergent residue can be removed effectively by using the AllergyPlus programme, which treats your laundry with a higher washing temperature and a longer rinse cycle.

Contrary to popular belief, using more detergent does not necessarily give you cleaner clothes. In fact, excessive detergent usage may require longer rinses, resulting in increased water and energy consumption. With precise dosing to the nearest millimetre, Bosch i-DOS washing machines use 30% less detergent and saves you up to 7,062 litres of water each year*.

Instead of manually dosing detergent and softener for every wash, Bosch i-DOS washing machines have two separate chambers to store up to 1.3 litres of liquid detergent and 0.5 litres of liquid softener for added convenience. Simply fill up the chambers when the automatic alert comes on, and you won’t have to refill them again for many laundry loads.

What’s more, i-DOS washing machines also give you the flexibility to manually add in specialised detergents, bleach, and cleaning agents for delicate fabric care, colour protection, and stain removal.
