A washing machine is a useful helper in the home, but not all the washing modes it offers are really good.

Today you will learn which washing mode is better not to use, as it can harm your clothes and the washing machine.

Easy ironing mode

The easy iron mode is designed to reduce creases in clothes and make ironing easier. However, this mode has several disadvantages.

It uses a double water set, which increases water and electricity consumption. It eliminates the intermediate spin, so more moisture, powder and dirt remain in the drum, which can lead to odor and mold.

It does not guarantee that the clothes will be ironed, as much depends on the type of fabric and the quality of washing.

Hand wash mode

The hand wash mode is designed to gently wash delicate items such as silk, wool, cashmere, etc. However, this mode does not always give good results.

It washes clothes at 30 degrees, which may not be enough to remove stains and bacteria.

It can damage items if they are not suitable for hand washing, for example if they have a complex cut, decorative elements or mixed fabric composition.

It can cause deformation or compression of items if they are not loaded correctly in the drum or if they are overloaded.

Wash mode for black items

The black wash cycle is designed to preserve color and prevent black items from fading. However, this cycle also has a few drawbacks.

It washes clothes at low temperatures, which may not be enough to remove stains and bacteria.

It can cause pilling and loss of shape in items made from synthetic materials.

It can cause fading of other items if they are not sorted by color or are shades other than black.

Auto-drying mode

The auto-drying mode is designed to dry clothes after washing. However, this mode has several disadvantages.

It uses a lot of electricity, which increases costs and harms the environment.

It can damage items if they are not suitable for tumble drying, such as those made from wool, cashmere, silk or leather.

It can't dry things properly, so they still remain damp.
