The production of a washing machine or dryer does of course need resources. Because we take environmental protection seriously, we use Swiss premium quality to ensure that our appliances are durable and work reliably for many years. This pays off ecologically, but also financially. Because those who choose Schulthess save in the medium and long term – even if the initial purchase costs are somewhat higher. Over a period of ten years, Schulthess’s effective costs are significantly lower than those of low-cost products. In addition to the raw materials and energy needed to manufacture the appliances, washing machines and dryers require electricity and water for their entire lives. Schulthess machines are energy-efficient and regularly win top marks, which is confirmed by the European energy label. By the way, Schulthess washing machines are particularly resource-efficient with their hot water and rainwater connection. The washing process is based on a simple system: the Sinner’s circle, also called the washing circle. It comprises four decisive factors for clean laundry: detergent, mechanics, time and temperature. All these parameters are interdependent. What this means: If one factor is changed, the others also vary. Schulthess takes advantage of its pioneering role in washing technology here. Because if the mechanics of the machines are optimised, the laundry is not only cleaner, but also more economical. This means shorter washing times and significant savings in electricity and detergent, which in concrete terms relieves the burden on the environment and the budget.
