If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that nothing brings life to a shuddering stop more than germs. They catch us out when we’re least expecting it and get in the way of us living our normal lives. They have more power to change the world than global leaders and we can’t even see them. So, we could really do without any more unnecessary interruptions from tiny little microbes, right?

While our surfaces have never been more wiped and our hands have never been more sanitised, there are still lots of things we can do to improve the health and hygiene of our homes. Bosch appliances are here to help. They're specially developed to make sure everything, from your clothes through carpets to your cutlery, is cleaner than ever before.

Take our washing machines for example. Designed with sensitive skin in mind, the AllergyPlus programme, available on selected appliances, expertly tackles all the allergy triggers that have built up on your clothes and eliminates them. Pollen, animal hair and even dust mites are no match for the AllergyPlus – meaning that when you pull on your fresh, gently laundered clothes, you can be sure that your day will go by without an itch.

When it comes to tackling bacteria on your dishes, look no further than our dishwashers with HygienePlus, on selected appliances. By increasing the rinse temperature, the HygienePlus programme ensures that any stubborn germs or bacteria that may be lingering are removed in the final stages of the wash, giving you peace of mind that your dishes are so clean you could… well…eat off them.

But it’s not all about washing away the bacteria. What about the germs that are lurking elsewhere in the home? For an all-round home hygiene hero, look no further than the Bosch Unlimited Serie 8 & Serie 6 vacuums. Giving you a 360° approach to hygienic homecare, the Unlimited cordless vacuum has an enviable armoury of accessories at its disposal, meaning you can clean any surface with ease – from carpets to chairs, tabletops to tiles, curtains to ceilings. Yes, we said ceilings. Have you really never vacuumed your ceiling?

The Unlimited’s RotationClean system allows you to hygienically clean the cartridge filter, and the PureAir Membrane within the filter means that the air coming out of the vacuum is even cleaner than the air in the room. A vacuum that even cleans the air around you? That’s really going above and beyond - which is what Bosch is all about.

There has never been a more important time to take a closer look at your appliances to see if they are working hard enough to keep your home clean and free of bacteria. If you need products that will give you an edge in the fight against these invisible enemies, look no further than Bosch’s range of hygienic homecare solutions.
