Bosch\u2019s ActiveWater Plus, for example, detects 256 load levels to measure water more precisely, while i-DOS systems dispense detergent automatically to help avoid overdosing and unnecessary rinsing. LG\u2019s AI DD technology analyzes load weight and fabric softness to select wash motions designed to improve fabric care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gettyimages-861202614-6a96c32fb73fa-1024x768.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gettyimages-861202614-6a96c32fb73fa-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gettyimages-861202614-6a96c32fb73fa-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gettyimages-861202614-6a96c32fb73fa-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gettyimages-861202614-6a96c32fb73fa-400x300.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gettyimages-861202614-6a96c32fb73fa-200x150.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gettyimages-861202614-6a96c32fb73fa.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#415364\">Across Bosch, LG and other\u200b\u200b \u200b\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/es\/home-care\/clean-insights\/clean-insights-issue-3\/\">major appliance brands<\/a>: a common approach is emerging: sensor-driven water dosing, smarter spray or circulation systems and automatic detergent dosing.

style=\"color:#415364\">Smarter appliances are also changing how different parts of the laundry ecosystem work together. Rather than developing detergents and machines independently, manufacturers are increasingly collaborating to ensure formulations, appliance technologies and wash programs complement one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#415364\">That collaboration is becoming more important as cold-water washing gains momentum. Making cold wash work at scale requires time, temperature, chemistry, mechanical action and water to work together. Auto-dosing and \u201cmixing-in-the-moment\u201d technologies can also improve cold-wash performance by releasing different cleaning ingredients at the right point in the cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#415364\">Connectivity supports that shift. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/es\/home-care\/clean-insights\/clean-insights-issue-2\/\">Connected appliances<\/a> can monitor detergent use, adjust programs and create opportunities to improve performance throughout the appliance\u2019s life rather than relying only on fixed settings.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure style=\"--ds-blockquote-color:var(--brand-color-4)\" class=\"ds-blockquote has-no-decoration wp-block-ds-gutenberg-blocks-blockquote\">\n\t<blockquote class=\"ds-blockquote__quote-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"ds-blockquote__quote\">\u201cAI shouldn&#8217;t make laundry more complicated.

The goal is not to give people more settings to manage. It is to remove friction from everyday decisions.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#415364\">\u201cConsumers should be able to push a button and walk away,\u201d he says.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#415364\">Rather than asking users to choose the right cycle, water level or detergent dosage, intelligent systems can increasingly make those decisions automatically based on sensor data and previous usage patterns. \u200b\u200bLamberigts adds, &#8220;AI shouldn&#8217;t make laundry more complicated. Its job is to quietly remove the guesswork so consumers can trust the machine to do the right thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-10 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#415364\">At recent consumer technology exhibitions, Lamberigts saw AI everywhere, but he also noted that adoption in appliances will be gradual because consumers do not replace washing machines every few years. That makes the near-term opportunity practical rather than futuristic: better cycle selection, smarter dosing and more responsive machines that help consumers get reliable results with less effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-11 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#415364\">The technology is still evolving. Today\u2019s systems can optimize wash conditions based on available data, but future generations may go further, learning from outcomes and continuously improving recommendations. The greatest value may come not from replacing people, but from quietly supporting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-plain is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 id=\"h-the-laundry-lens\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Laundry Lens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Laundry is shifting from product performance to system performance. As laundry technologies become more connected, manufacturers will need to understand how chemistry, appliances and digital intelligence affect one another. Appliances increasingly help set the conditions for cleaning by managing water, dosing and cycle selection. Yet newer machines do not automatically lead consumers to use advanced cycles; most still rely on the Standard or Automatic setting. The opportunity is to build intelligence into the default experience, helping the system deliver better performance and resource efficiency without requiring more effort from consumers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-what-s-next\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Next?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This issue explored how manufacturers are balancing resources and embracing smarter technologies.
