Housewives use the quick wash mode when the laundry is not too dirty and needs to be refreshed and given a cleaner look.

Some people don’t like it when their laundry is washed in the machine for an hour or more, so they resort to such tricks: they soak the laundry for 15-20 minutes, rub it with soap, and then throw it in the machine and wash it in the quick wash mode.

How justified are such actions is the question. Using the quick wash mode is not always justified for washing certain items.

Find out what not to wash on a quick wash cycle

Many people believe that quick washing allows you to save time, energy and money. However, there are nuances that it would be useful to know so that washing is always economical.

1. Quick wash is done at a temperature of 30-40 degrees, and, accordingly, it is not always possible to wash out ingrained stains. This type of wash is suitable for items that have to be changed almost daily: blouses, T-shirts, underwear.

2. The quick cycle is not suitable for washing towels and bed linen. It is impossible to wash the linen properly and get rid of greasy stains on textiles in a short period of time.

3. An intensive but short washing program is not suitable for washing delicate items and those that are washed by hand.

4. Quick wash will not be effective if you load the drum to the limit. In a short period of time with a full load, the powder will not be able to dissolve and rinse, it will remain in the fabric fibers.
