Washing machines with Steam clean
If you’re sick of stubborn creases and clothes losing their shine after the first wash, why not try a washing machine that uses steam? They release vapour into the drum either at the start of the cycle, during it or towards the end, depending on the model. This helps to loosen stains or relax fibres, leaving you with less ironing to do. Either way, steam makes it easier to keep outfits at their best
Benefits
More thorough cleaning
When steam is added into the drum, it relaxes the fibres in clothes. This makes it easier for the detergent to sink into every thread, giving each one a deeper clean. So, whether it’s a lunch-covered school uniform, or a white shirt with red wine sloshed down it, you’ll rest easy knowing that everything will be taken care of.
Kills bacteria
Cleaning with steam gives more hygienic results. This is because it kills germs and bacteria during the wash - not just from your clothes, but from inside the actual drum too.
Get more from your detergent
If you’re fed up of finding leftover gel in the drum after the cycle’s finished, you’ll love using steam. The higher temperatures needed to make vapour are also better at dissolving every drop of detergent. Thanks to this, you’ll never waste any, and you’ll get much better results.
Less time ironing
Despise the ironing? Because steam relaxes fibres, it stops tough creases from forming in the first place. This means that rather than having to spend hours slouched over the board, it can stay retired in the cupboard instead.

Also look out for…
Steam Cycle
If you’ve only worn an outfit once or twice, then Steam cycle is a great way to freshen it up again. As you might expect, it uses high temperature steam to get rid of odours and relax creases, so you can confidently rock your look for another day. And for an added bonus, it even cuts down on the ironing – everyone’s least favourite job just got easier.
Refresh
The handy Refresh function will give your clothes the pick-me-up they need. In just 20 minutes it will remove any nasty smells, creases and allergens, and all without needing detergent. That means you don’t need to panic if you’ve just found your outfit for tonight’s date at the bottom of the wash basket.
EasyIron
When it comes to chores, ironing is one of the worst. To help make it a little easier, the EasyIron function rotates the drum back and forth, helping to untangle fabrics so they tumble freely. This helps loosen creases, so you get to whiz through the clothes pile faster. You're welcome.
SteamTherapy
Freshen up your fancy frocks and save water with Beko’s SteamTherapy feature. It uses quick blasts of intense steam to see off stubborn creases, as well as clearing up any lingering odours. That means less time faffing about with the ironing board, and more looking sharp in your Sunday best. Neat.

FAQs
- Are steam washing machines worth it?
Yes. Steam machines give clothes a really thorough wash, let you get the most out of your detergent and reduce creases. Because vapour kills germs and bacteria, they’re great for people who suffer from Eczema and sensitive skin too. Not to mention you’ll also get loads of other fabulous features.
- What benefits will I see by using a steam washing machine?
Lots! Not only does steam loosen stains to give a more thorough treatment, but it kills germs and works hard to dissolve detergent as well. It even reduces creases, so you won’t have to spend hours at the ironing board either.
- What does a steam washing machine do?
Steam washing machines release vapour and detergent into the drum to relax your fabric’s fibres. This loosens stains to make them easier to remove, and stops deep creases from forming in the first place. So, not only will you enjoy cleaner clothes, but they’ll be easier to iron too.
- Does a steam washing machine use more energy?
Not necessarily. The steam cycle itself uses a lot less water than a normal one would. However, because steam washing machines have to actually create the vapour themselves, they do need to reach higher temperatures in the first place.
