Quick wash by washing machine

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

Mode description

The accelerated washing in the washing machine is a special mode, which includes washing, rinsing and spinning. It is interesting that washing, rinsing, and spinning are carried out in a very short period of time - within 30 minutes. But it turns out 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 wring out, surprisingly, but true. A garment washed in this mode does not look worse than if it were washed in cotton mode.

That accelerated washing, that super-fast washing is great in cases where you need to refresh not too dirty laundry. Moreover, if things do not have obvious pollution, and you just need to remove the smell of sweat, you can lower the temperature of the washing water. It will turn out very economically. Typically, fast and super fast wash modes are used to wash shirts, t-shirts, blouses, socks and other lightly soiled laundry. Wash occurs at 30 or 40⁰C. Some housewives do as follows.

• Heavily soiled linen is taken, soaked for 15-20 minutes.
• Rub the stains with laundry soap.
• Squeeze things a little and put in the drum of the washing machine.
• Launch super fast wash.

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

When you do not need to use it

The hostess likes the accelerated washing mode so much that they are ready to wash all the dirty laundry with him, 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 most dirty things need to be put aside, then to wash them separately using some other mode. Besides:

• Do not wash too old things in the accelerated washing mode, even if there are no obvious stains on them;
• do not wash pastel linen and towels in this mode, since it is possible to get rid of such linen from 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 pastel linen and towels.

• delicate things should not be washed in this mode, the intense high-speed spin, which is characteristic of 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 things will not rinse properly.

Popular Modes

In addition to the accelerated washing mode, housewives quite often use programs that wash things for a long time and thoroughly. Some programs can be executed within 2.5-3 hours, but still, some prefer them to be washed quickly in a washing machine, but we will not get ahead of ourselves.

1. Cotton, cotton quickly and other programs similar in name. They are characterized by long-term performance: cotton quickly about 1 hour 20 minutes, cotton about 2 hours.The rpm of the drum during washing is small, as during rinsing, the spin is carried out at high speeds. In this mode, cotton and linen are washed, usually at a high temperature (minimum 60⁰C, maximum 95⁰WITH).
2. Synthetics, synthetics quickly, synthetics carefully and other similar. Washing occurs at a temperature of 40-60⁰C in pretty intense mode. Spin is also carried out at high speeds. Synthetics is carefully designed for strongly shedding synthetic products, the water temperature is not higher than 30 degrees, the spin is not more than 800 revolutions per minute.
3. Hand wash. A complete machine imitation of hand washing, however, you can wash your clothes with your hands for 20-30 minutes, but in the car you will have to "chat" for 1-1.5 hours. Handwashing is characterized by a slow rotation of the drum; in most cases, you can turn off the spin.
4. Delicate fabrics or gentle wash. The program is specially designed for such capricious fabrics as silk, cashmere and others. Things are washed in large quantities of water at the lowest speeds for a long time. Water temperature is 30-40 degrees.
5. Intensive wash. This is a real test drive for your stuff. Intensive washing is only suitable for coarse fabrics that can withstand the most severe physical effects. Drum revolutions during spinning in this mode can reach 1800 rpm.

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

To summarize, we note that the accelerated washing mode is the most popular for two reasons: firstly, it runs very quickly, and secondly, in most cases it does a good job of washing things. Some housewives even claim that they use only this regime, while others remain unused. In our opinion, this is fundamentally wrong. Each washing mode is good in its situation and it is impossible to replace it with a universal program, because this inevitably affects the quality of washing.
