Electrolux Professional Better solutions
Constantly improve product performance
and efficiency
Make better use of resources
Eliminate harmful materials
We constantly rethink products to make them better for you and for our planet
A growing market for appliances means a growing need to reduce the impact each product has on the environment. This starts with cutting harmful materials out of production, and by making our products as energy-efficient as possible.
But it doesn’t end there. It’s also about providing you with the solutions you need to make your day-to-day life more sustainable.
We train customers and chefs to operate more efficiently and reduce environmental impact at our Centers of Excellence. 90% of the environmental footprint of our products happens during usage.

Up to 50% water savings at half load
Lower energy costs with less water to heat. With each wash cycle, the Automatic Saving System determines the weight of load and adds the exact amount of water.
The software, built into the wash cycle, reduces water consumption and energy costs up to 50%.With the Integrated Saving System, energy and water savings are guaranteed thanks to an optimal use of water. The load weight displayed on the panel helps ensure correct dosing of water, saving energy.
The ergonomic Efficient Dosing System guarantees up to 20% savings in running costs. It automatically calculates the precise amount of detergent needed according to the linen weight and the selected wash program. It is user friendly since it minimize the handling of detergent and cleaning of the laundry room.
Our Barrier Washers are incredibly fast, safe, and ergonomic to operate, thanks to Automatic Inner Drum Positioning – which ensures the inner drum is always in the correct place for loading and unloading.

Save lots of time and money with our high-tech tumble dryer solutionsThe Residual Moisture Control helps to reduce the drying cycle, resulting in time, energy and money savings, as the moisture remaining in the textiles is continuously measured.
Unique from Electrolux the Drum Speed Control shortens drying times and reduces energy consumption by controlling the mechanical action when drying delicate garments.
Autostop shortens the drying cycle and ensures an optimum care result. Its intelligent sensors detect when the linen is fully dry and stop the dryer heating, saving time, energy and money.
Heat Efficiency Control delivers best-in-class efficiency and speed, as the multi-stage electric heating makes it possible to adjust the heating during the drying process.
Eco Power for coin machines brings you energy savings of up to 15%. It calculates when garments are dry and automatically lowers the dryer heat to the cool-down temperature.

Electrolux Professional Better solutions
Safe, secure and environmentally friendly ironing
Patented by Electrolux, the Dubixium™ multilayer cylinder ensures up to 50% more throughput. As convenient as steam but without the drawbacks of steam, it guarantees you maximum profitability. Thermal oil is used to evenly distribute the heat, so there is no heat waste due to overheating of the sides.
The Integrated Thermal Oil Boiler promises 30% energy savings and is 10% more efficient than a regular steam-heated ironer. It also has the most efficient dewatering on the market.
Our unique, patented Ceramic Gas Burner offers up to 20% gas savings, increasing productivity whilst minimizing disruption and gas consumption. Ceramic plates generate infra-red energy in addition to regular convection heat from a flame, so the burner is eco-friendly and safe for operators due to its complete combustion and minimized toxic gas emissions.
Save time, energy and reduces staff needed with Automatic Feeding, which lets you finish the largest items with only a single operator.

The unique eco-friendly alternative to traditional dry cleaningA game changer for businesses and for the environment, lagoon® Advanced Care is a sustainable, eco-friendly water-based cleaning system with none of the disadvantages of PERC, which can be dangerous to staff.
As water is the solvent, no toxic substances are used in the process, making it environmentally friendly – while the shorter process time ensures a faster and more efficient service.
The lagoon® Advanced Care is the first water-based system that guarantees a process time of just one hour from receipt of a garment to delivery.
Its smart, environmentally-friendly chemicals and processes mean garments are fully dried in the dryer, so there is no need to hang dry. There is none of the residual moisture usually associated with wet cleaning – garments are dry to the touch and have no wrinkles, so finishing is quick and easy.
