It often happens that even the most thrifty housewives add more powder to the washing machine than necessary.
But often they are not to blame for this, since cunning manufacturers of detergents recommend using them in large quantities.
In this way, manufacturers encourage citizens to purchase their products more often.
The same goes for the measuring spoons that are sometimes included with powders. These spoons are way too big.
A washing machine repairman said that many washes do not require a large amount of powder.
The fact is that in most cases, lightly soiled clothes only need to be refreshed; they do not require washing out difficult stains.
The expert advised how much powder should be added for more economical consumption and a longer service life of the machine.
So, to wash items without serious dirt, it is recommended to put a tablespoon of powder per kilo of dry laundry into the tray.
If the items have marks or stains, then you will need two tablespoons per 1 kg of laundry.
If the machine is fully loaded, which is usually 5-6 kilos of dry laundry, 5 tablespoons of powder will be enough.
If the water is soft, add less detergent.
By the way, to soften water you can use household chemicals, for example, gels or conditioners.
However, in this case, you should be careful, remembering that these funds can accumulate in the unit.
