Are your bed bugs alive and well but respectably clean after going through your washing machine? Many people don’t wash their bedding at a high enough temperature to kill bed bugs and bacteria. Sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases need washing once a week at 60 degrees centigrade in order to get rid of them.

Customers want much faster washes

Mitsubishi have produced “the world’s quickest washing machine” (currently only available in Japan). Most people have reported it as the world’s “fastest” washing machine but to me the word “fast” relates to spin speed whereas this washing machine washes in world record time. It’s reported to be capable of washing nine kilograms (20 pounds) of clothes in just 35 minutes.
