HELPFUL HINTS
You may have noticed the “Steam” feature on some washing machines. It sounds impressive, but what does it actually do? Is it simply a premium add-on, or does it provide real, measurable benefits? The short answer: it’s far more than a visual enhancement. Steam technology can significantly improve fabric care, particularly when dealing with stubborn stains, sensitive skin, and reducing wrinkles.
Let’s explore why the steam function may be one of the most valuable innovations.
A steam washing machine is, quite simply, a washing machine that uses steam in the form of hot vapour to enhance its cleaning performance. The benefits go beyond heat alone. Steam penetrates deep into fabric fibres, helping to loosen dirt, improve the dissolution of detergent, and provide a more thorough yet gentle clean for your clothing.
Think of it like soaking a stubborn casserole dish in hot water before scrubbing, it softens the grime, making it easier to shift. In a steam washing machine, steam is introduced during specific cycles, either before the main wash (to loosen stains) or during the rinse (to refresh and sanitise).
The result? Washing powder penetrates more deeply, water usage is reduced, and clothes come out cleaner, softer, and fresher. It’s a bit like giving your laundry a spa day, minus the cucumber slices.
Steam isn’t just a nice extra. It brings real, practical benefits to our everyday laundry, especially when we’re dealing with baby clothes, allergies, or just the general chaos of life.
Truth is, life’s messy. From baby formula and tomato sauce to grass stains and mystery smudges, our clothes go through a lot. Steam helps washing powder penetrate deep into the fabric, lifting dirt and breaking down stains more effectively than water alone.
It’s especially helpful for baby clothes, where stains can be stubborn and frequent. And because steam is gentle, it doesn’t wear out delicate fabrics in the process. That adorable onesie? It’s got a fighting chance.
LG’s Steam™ technology is designed to do more than just clean, it helps reduce allergens like dust mites, giving your clothes a deeper, more hygienic finish. That’s a big win for anyone with allergies or sensitive skin.
And here in the UK, where spring brings pollen and autumn brings colds, that extra layer of hygiene is more than welcome. Whether it’s school uniforms, bedding, or baby grows, Steam™ helps keep things fresh and comfortable.
Here’s a little bonus: steam also helps soften fabrics and reduce wrinkles. It relaxes the fibres, so clothes come out looking smoother and feeling softer. That means less time with the iron, and more time doing literally anything else.
Is it magic? Not quite. But it’s close enough when your shirt comes out of the wash looking like it’s already been pressed.
LG’s Steam™ technology is built into select washing machines and tumble dryers, delivering a powerful combination of deep cleaning and allergen reduction. It’s especially effective for delicate loads like baby clothes, bedding, and everyday essentials.

So, is a steam washing machine worth it? If you care about cleaner clothes, fewer wrinkles, and a little extra peace of mind, absolutely. It’s not just about looking good (though that helps). It’s about smarter, more thoughtful care for the things we wear every day.
And with LG’s Steam™ technology, we’re not just washing clothes, we’re caring for them. Thoroughly. Gently. Intelligently. Because laundry shouldn’t be a chore. It should be a clean start.
