How to wash in a washing machine?

The washing machine has turned the washing of dirty laundry into the simplest and most understandable process. But in the correct washing, even a machine has its own little secrets.

And if you are aware of these important little things, then you will not have any problems with especially dirty linen, or with those things that are made of especially finicky fabrics. In addition, you can save on electricity if you learn about the tips described in this article.

Let's start with the basics of washing

We hope you already know the basics. And it’s not a secret for you that in addition to having a machine, for washing we need high-quality washing powder, water and electricity. And of course, during washing, the machine heats the water to the required temperature. Exactly the one you install.

During washing, warm water dissolves the powder well. High water temperature speeds up washing, as it softens dirt and increases the impact of washing powder. For a quality wash, some time is needed.

Wash dirty laundry

It is said that some curious scientists decided to find out how much dirt is in the laundry. We don’t know how they used it, but we calculated that in the center of the linen there are about 4 kg of dirt. It means that about 4 percent of the weight of the contaminated thing - this is actually dirt. I don’t know what this information gave you, but agree, curious.

By the way, the dirt can be different. There is one that dissolves quite easily in water. These include: various salts, some oils, sweat, etc. Insoluble dirt also happens: sand, grease, dust, and more.

Those types of dirt that dissolve are the easiest to wash. They are easily removed when exposed to water and detergent. But traces of paint, some types of glue and similar stains can be removed much more difficult. Not infrequently, special chemicals are used to remove them.

But we can remove age spots only with bleach. It is also sometimes necessary to resort to this method when traces of strong tea, coffee, cognac drinks and other liquids appear.

Before washing

Before you start washing, it is highly advisable to sort out the laundry. Do not wash colored and white linen together. This can lead to a change in the color of white and light things. It also does not hurt to sort things by type of fabric. Indeed, for different types there are different modes of recommended washing. You can separate things by the degree of their pollution. Particularly dirty in one pile, and those where you need a simple refreshing wash - in another.

In addition to such sorting, the following should be done:

• Be sure to remove all items from your pockets. Many leave money, passports and even mobile phones there. It’s not worth spoiling things. And besides, some things forgotten in your pockets can ruin the washing machine itself. Therefore, they must be obtained.
• Make sure that there are no pins or any other metal objects that could damage the cuff of the hatch or simply fall off during washing.
• Do not forget to remove belts from jeans, trousers and other items of clothing.
• It is also recommended to keep all zippers closed.

We hope that you know where the powder falls asleep. But just in case, we’ll clarify that you don’t need to pour it into the tank. It should be placed in the dispenser, in the largest compartment. For front-loading machines, the dispenser is usually located in the upper left part and can be easily extended.

How to use a washing machine to save money?

• To save money on electricity and water consumed by the washing machine, you can purchase special economical models of this household appliance. This technique has signs of energy conservation: A, A +, A ++, A +++.And the more pluses on the marking, the more economical the washing machine. The same applies to other household appliances.
• Do not machine too few items. For example, if you have only a couple of T-shirts soiled, you should not even start washing. Wait until more things accumulate, and then wash everything together.
• If you wash things at a low temperature, then less energy will be spent, which means that you will need to pay less for it. However, if the laundry is very dirty, it may not be washed. Therefore, this option of saving suits us only with not very dirty laundry.
• You can also save on washing powder. Many housewives and householders fill up too much powder. For most washes, about 100 grams of dry detergent is sufficient. You can also buy good powder inexpensively. To do this, you can choose inexpensive grades of powder. But before you buy a lot of cheap money, it is better to buy one package and check it in operation. If the quality of washing suits you, then you can safely buy more.
• In addition, you can save money on the purchase of a washing machine. Typically, in standard household appliance stores, the price is higher than in online stores. This is due to their increased costs. Standard stores need to pay not only for the warehouse, but also for retail space in the passageways. And they are not cheap. Therefore, buying a car through the Internet you can save from 5 to 20 percent of the cost.
