Quick wash in washing machine

Quick wash is a super popular program that is included in the arsenal of any modern automatic washing machine. It is not at all necessary that such a program will be called “fast”, but in terms of execution features it will be exactly that. What kind of program is this, what are its features and how to use it correctly, all this will be discussed in this publication.

Description of the mode

Accelerated washing in an automatic washing machine is a special mode that includes washing, rinsing and spinning. The interesting thing is that washing, rinsing, and spinning are carried out in a very short period of time - within 30 minutes. But it turns out that this is not the limit. In modern models of automatic washing machines, manufacturers have introduced the “super fast wash” mode, or as it is also called “15 minutes”.

Within 15 minutes, the washing machine manages to wash things, rinse them and spin them, surprisingly, but true. An item of clothing washed in this mode looks no worse than if it was washed in the cotton mode.

Either accelerated wash or super-fast wash is great when you need to refresh not too dirty laundry. Moreover, if there are no obvious stains on things at all, but you just need to remove the smell of sweat, you can lower the temperature of the washing water. It will turn out very economical. Typically, the fast and super-fast wash modes are used to wash shirts, T-shirts, blouses, socks and other lightly soiled laundry. Washing occurs at 30 or 40⁰S. Some housewives do it as follows.

• Take heavily soiled laundry and soak it for 15-20 minutes.
• Rub stains with laundry soap.
• Wring things out a little and put them in the drum of the washing machine.
• Start the super fast wash mode.

As a result, even very dirty things are washed perfectly, and the process happens faster than if the housewife had put dry, heavily soiled things in the drum and selected the “Cotton” or similar mode. Also, using this method you can significantly save on detergents, water and electricity, which in our age is also of great importance.

When not to use it

Housewives like the accelerated wash mode so much that they are ready to wash all their dirty laundry with it, but this is wrong. Before washing, laundry should be sorted not only by color and type of fabric, but also by the intensity of contamination. The dirtiest items should be put aside and then washed separately using some other mode. Besides:

• You should not wash overly worn items in the accelerated wash mode, even if there are no obvious stains on them;
• You should not wash bed linen and towels in this mode, since such linen can be rid of germs and dust mites only at a higher temperature;

At 30-40 degrees, the powder does not fully activate, giving dust mites and germs a chance to survive and continue to multiply in your bedding and towels.

• You should not wash delicate items in this mode; intense high-speed spinning, which is typical for the accelerated washing mode, can harm them;
• When activating the quick wash program, do not load the drum to the maximum, it is better to load it halfway, otherwise the clothes will not be rinsed properly.

Popular modes

In addition to the accelerated wash mode, housewives quite often use programs that wash things for a long time and thoroughly. Some programs can run for 2.5-3 hours, but some people still prefer them to a quick wash in a washing machine, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

1. Clap, clap quickly and other programs similar in name. They are characterized by a long performance: cotton fast about 1 hour 20 minutes, cotton about 2 hours. The drum speed during washing is low, as well as during rinsing, spinning is carried out at high speeds. This mode washes cotton and linen, usually at high temperatures (minimum 60⁰C, maximum 95⁰WITH).
2. Synthetics, synthetics quickly, synthetics carefully and others similar. Washing occurs at a temperature of 40-60⁰C in a fairly intense mode. Spinning is also carried out at high speeds. Synthetics are carefully designed for highly shedding synthetic products, water temperature is not higher than 30 degrees, spin is no more than 800 rpm.
3. Wash by hand. A complete machine imitation of hand washing, however, you will wash things by hand in 20-30 minutes, but in the machine you will have to “chat” for 1-1.5 hours. Hand washing is characterized by slow rotation of the drum; in most cases, you can turn off the spin cycle.
4. Delicate fabrics or gentle wash. The program is specially designed for such capricious fabrics as silk, cashmere and others. Things are washed in a large amount of water at the lowest speed for a long time. Water temperature 30-40 degrees.
5. Intensive wash. This is a real test drive for your things. Intensive washing is only suitable for coarse fabrics that can withstand the harshest physical impact.The drum speed during spin cycles in this mode can reach 1800 rpm.

We have listed the most popular washing modes, which are very popular among users of automatic washing machines. If you want to read about other modes, this article will help you Functions and modes in the washing machine.

To summarize, we note that the accelerated wash mode is the most popular for two reasons: firstly, it runs very quickly, and secondly, in most cases it washes things well. Some housewives even claim that they use only this mode, while the rest remain unused. In our opinion, this is fundamentally wrong. Each washing mode is good in its own situation and cannot be replaced with a universal program, because this will inevitably affect the quality of washing.
