Miele's latest range of professional washing machines and dryers set new standards for the hygienic laundering of dental scrubs and protective uniforms.

The Little Giants range comprises the Performance and Performance Plus washing machines and dryers, which offer powerful on-site washing for peace of mind regarding infection control.

The machines fulfil Government guidelines for on-site laundry facilities to clean workwear, with the added benefits an 85-degree thermal disinfection programme, as well as short wash cycles, a convenient stack footprint of less than 1 m² and a range of thoughtful, labour-reducing features.

The commercial grade machines with Wi-Fi connectivity feature Miele's eco-friendliest professional laundry technology yet, with cycle times of only 49 minutes for washing and 38 minutes for drying. The new heat-pump dryer has outperformed its predecessor by one third, with a cycle time of less than 60 minutes, using 60% less energy than a standard condenser dryer. Washers feature Miele's patented honeycomb drum for ultimate fabric care.

Due to the speed capacity of washing cycles, the new range washing machines require 22% less water and 28% less energy. While casing dimensions have remained unchanged, washing machines and tumble dryers now have a load capacity increased by 25%.

The Performance washing machines have been given an A+++ energy efficiency rating, while the Performance heat-pump dryer has been awarded A++. Adding to their sustainable credentials, 95% of the machines can be recycled at end of life.

The high performance machines complement Miele's specialist washer-disinfectors, which provide dependable, validated cleaning of dental instruments.
