Tough on stains, kind to your clothes

Hotpoint’s ActiveCare technology removes more than 100 stains at only 20 degrees

Mud stains on the kids’ PE kit. A coffee mark on your best shirt. Ink marks on your pencil dress. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a magic button that could banish them?

There is, it’s available on AO.com and it’s called ActiveCare. Hotpoint’s ActiveCare does something amazing: it removes over 100 different stains at just 20 degrees. No pre-treatment. No high temperatures. Just brilliant results every time.

Clever tech means cleaner clothes

 

The ActiveCare button combines three technologies to deliver incredible wash performance and best-in-class stain removal. Hotpoint calls them Active Mousse, Active Drum and Active Load, and they work together to do amazing things.

Active Mousse waves goodbye to even the most stubborn stains. It pre-mixes the water and detergent before they enter the drum to create a powerful cleaning mousse that penetrates deep into the fabric, effortlessly lifting out stains without any need for pre-treatment or harsh temperatures. That means your machine laughs at lipstick, giggles at grass stains and cackles at coffee: they’re no match for Active Mousse’s cleaning action.

While Active Mousse dissolves the stains, Active Drum maximises its cleaning power with ten different drum movements during each cycle. Each of those movements effectively targets a particular kinds of stains, so there’s no place for any stain to hide. Every blemish is removed in just one cycle. The brushless drum has been designed especially for quiet performance and extra-long life.

The third bit of clever technology is Active Load, which ensures you get a dream clean without big bills. It constantly monitors the wash to see how much water is being absorbed by your clothes, automatically calculating the perfect amount of water and the right amount of time to thoroughly clean the load without wasting time, energy or water. It’s a win-win situation: not only do you get a more efficient wash, but you save a bit on your energy bills too. There’s also an Eco programme that can reduce your energy use by 20% without compromising on cleaning performance.

Faster, fresher and easier to iron

As if ActiveCare wasn’t already impressive enough, Hotpoint has also added the superb Steam Pack. This uses the power of steam cleaning to do three really handy things. Steam Hygiene can remove allergens and bacteria from even the most delicate fabrics; by injecting steam directly into the drum at the end of the cycle it gets rid of allergens and irritants while also making your clothes easier to iron. 

Steam Refresh revitalises your favourite outfit when it doesn’t need a full clean, taking just 20 minutes from start to finish, and Final Care reduces creases in your clothes by gently tumbling them at the end of the wash cycle. It can keep your clothes super-soft for up to six hours after the cycle ends – perfect for when you don’t have time to unload the machine immediately.

There are plenty of other useful features too, such as Stop & Add. It solves the forgotten-sock problem, enabling you to quickly halt the wash, shove in that sock and resume without affecting the wash performance. There are special programmes for every kind of clothing, and there’s also a rapid programme for when you’re in a real hurry.
