Guide to Washing in Low Temperatures

Why Cold Water Matters

Washing in cold water (20-30°C) can reduce energy consumption by up to 90% compared to hot water cycles. Our detergents are specifically engineered to activate and perform effectively at these lower temperatures.

How Our Formula Adapts

Traditional detergents rely on heat to activate cleaning agents. Our enzyme-based formulas work through biological processes that don't require heat, making them ideal for cold water washing common in Nordic households.

Temperature Efficiency Chart

Our products maintain cleaning effectiveness across a wide temperature range:

  • 20-30°C: Optimal performance
  • 30-40°C: Enhanced results
  • 40-60°C: Maximum efficiency

How Detergents React in Soft and Hard Nordic Water

Soft Water Regions

In areas with naturally soft water, our formulas work efficiently with minimal product usage. The natural minerals in our detergents complement soft water, ensuring thorough cleaning without residue buildup.

Hard Water Adaptation

For regions with harder water, our built-in water softeners help neutralize mineral content that can interfere with cleaning. This ensures consistent results regardless of local water conditions.

Variable Conditions

Nordic water hardness can vary seasonally. Our adaptive formula adjusts to these changes, maintaining cleaning effectiveness throughout the year without requiring different products.

Sustainability Information

CO2 reduction and biodegradability

CO₂ Reduction

By enabling effective cold water washing, our products help reduce household carbon emissions significantly. Each cold water cycle saves approximately 0.3 kg of CO₂ compared to warm water washing.

Biodegradability

All ingredients break down completely within 28 days in standard wastewater treatment conditions. This ensures no harmful residues enter natural waterways or accumulate in the environment.

Packaging Impact

Our concentrated formulas mean less packaging per load. We use recyclable materials and minimize plastic usage wherever possible, contributing to a circular economy approach.

Understanding Nordic Water Conditions

Temperature Efficiency

Our detergents maintain consistent cleaning power across the temperature range commonly used in Nordic households. The enzyme-based formula ensures that even at 20°C, stains are effectively broken down and removed.

Water Hardness Distribution

Nordic regions feature varying water hardness levels. Our products are tested and optimized to perform in both soft water areas (common in coastal regions) and harder water conditions (found in some inland areas).
