How many times a day can I wash in a washing machine?

How many times a day you can wash in a washing machineAny sane person understands that the durability of a washing machine depends on the frequency of its operation. If you do not let the unit rest, it will fail very quickly. So, how can users calculate the load for their “home assistant”, how many times a day can they be washed in a washer so as not to overstrain it and at the same time satisfy their washing needs?

Normal frequency of use of household washers

To answer this question clearly is not possible. After all, much depends on the model of the machine, brand, previous operating conditions and the like. Therefore, there are only averaged indicators, which the masters prefer to divide into several groups depending on the release date.

Direct drive washing machine lasts longerNo matter how sad it may sound, statistics show that cars produced in Europe or America before 2005 last much longer than modern ones. So, for example, the most ordinary model of such an assembly will quietly work for 12-15 years, but on condition of launches no more than 4 times a week.

Moreover, even without proper care, such a machine will last at least 10 years, not to mention the units of conscientious housewives. As for modern devices, in terms of durability they are significantly inferior to their older brothers. There is evidence that the LG direct drive machine has served the family of 8 people for 13 years without fail and continues to serve to this day. And despite the fact that it is launched twice a day.

Important! Most of the current models with a belt drive do not stand up to criticism. Many masters claim that direct-drive devices last longer.

Thus, it is difficult to make an unambiguous conclusion about the dependence of the service life of the machine on the frequency of its operation. If you average the indicators, it is advisable to run an ordinary home typewriter no more than 3-4 times a week, since it is not designed for heavy loads, unlike professional models.

Proper use is the key to longevity

Many users underestimate the operating rules developed by the creators of the machines specifically for customers. But in vain. According to rough estimates, a machine that is handled correctly can last up to five years longer than a machine whose operating rules are seriously neglected. The first thing to do is to pay due attention to the correct installation.

  • Quality connection. If possible, provide a separate outlet for the washing machine so as not to interrupt the power supply system. Also pay attention to the connection to the water supply: all hoses must be tight and well connected. If in your apartment there is already an eyeliner to a pipe with cold water, check for a plug.
  • Surface. Tips on this topic are most often ignored. Many owners do not even know how much the floor surface affects the operation of the machine. But keep in mind that when washing and spinning the unit seriously bounces and vibrates. If the floor is full of bumps, then the inside of the machine will quickly become worthless from such an “attraction”.

The machine is placed on a reliable floor in terms ofThe following are tips directly on how to wash in the washing machine correctly. Try to “pamper” the machine every time from the very beginning with means that prevent the appearance of scale. After all, it is much easier to prevent a problem than to get rid of plaque later. Buy Calgon and add at every wash.

If you live in a region with soft water, then Calgon consumption can be reduced by half, and add it through washing. How to check whether soft water or hard? Pay attention to the inside walls of your kettle. If you find white flakes there, it means that scum forms instantly. In this case, it is better to invest in Calgon than to reanimate your washer.

It is also sometimes necessary to carry out preventive washing idle. It is enough to repeat the procedure every three months. To do this, set the mode with the highest temperature and start the machine, pouring in it either a special tool or homemade (vinegar, citric acid, soda or whiteness will work). You do not need to load laundry in the drum! The more often you wash with high temperature, the more often you need to carry out such a disinfection. It not only prevents the formation of scale and limescale, but also simply cleans the inside of the SM. Now for washing.

  1. Do not overload the drum! And pay attention not only to weight, but also to volume. A woolen blanket may be suitable for the mass, but occupy a huge space. Cars quickly break from overloads, so do not overdo it.
  2. After washing, leave the door open for a while so as not to breed bacteria inside the drum. It is also advisable to remove the powder tray and rinse thoroughly after each wash. This is especially true for housewives who like to add bleach, it leads to the formation of black mold.
  3. Take out and rinse the filter every three months or more. Its location varies from model to model, so it is better to look at the instructions.
  4. Rinse the rubber cuff of the hatch, and then wipe it dry with a paper towel or regular rag after each wash. Wet rubber is a favorable place for bacterial colonies.

Also, many masters urge not to put anything on the top cover of the machine. Of course, something very difficult can adversely affect the operation of the machine, but you can certainly put a few oversized gizmos. And try not to run the machine several times in a row without unnecessary need to extend its service life.

    I mean 3-4 times a week? I have a family of five, I wash four times every day. Why then do you need a car? What is being done not for people?

    We wash sportswear every day. And also turn on 4-5 times. If SM is like a toy, not an assistant, why so expensive?
