Freshly washed laundry can be a challenge for allergy sufferers, as detergent residues, pollen and pet dander can cause skin irritation. ECARF-certified washing machines have special allergy programs that effectively reduce these residues through longer washing and rinsing cycles or steam technology. Strict control of washing and rinsing performance and minimal detergent residues ensure maximum comfort.
Despite thorough testing, allergic reactions cannot be entirely ruled out.
Since the first seal was awarded in 2006, thousands of certificates have been granted.
The Allergy Seal of Quality is a service of the ECARF Foundation.
