Many people are used to pouring and pouring detergents directly into the drum. The result is sometimes different. But sometimes for the worse.

In the case of using fabric softener, this is a common but erroneous opinion. We will tell you why you can’t do this and when you can.

It is enough to remember that you can add fabric softener to the drum only in two cases.

1. This can be done if the laundry has already been washed and additional rinsing is required. Usually, the product is used in a special package, from which it comes exclusively in measured doses.

2. In the case when washing is not planned at all, and the laundry just needs to be refreshed.

Why do they still add it?

Sometimes this has to be done by owners of old machines, in which washing powders and other chemicals are poorly washed out of the tray with water. The housewife simply has no other choice.

But in this case, it is better to use powders and gels in special packaging - capsules.

In other cases, if you add conditioner to the drum before washing, it will simply be washed away when the water is changed.
