It would seem that what could be simpler than washing clothes in a washing machine?
However, there are some nuances here too. We tell you how to wash in a washing machine so as not to ruin things and equipment.
The most common mistakes when washing
One of the most common mistakes is adding fabric softener to every wash.
Do not overuse this product. Terry towels and bathrobes should not be washed with conditioner at all.
It worsens the absorbent properties of the fabric. In addition, after washing with conditioner, towels and robes take longer to dry, and a damp smell may appear.
Secondly, you cannot use chlorine-containing bleaches when washing in a washing machine.
Only oxygen or optical brighteners are suitable for washing machines.
Thirdly, you can’t overload the washing machine. The optimal amount of dry laundry is 50% of the drum volume.
Underloading also has an extremely negative effect on the condition of the machine. The minimum weight of dry laundry is 1 kilogram.
Fourthly, before washing, you need to check the zippers and buttons. The zippers should be fastened, the buttons should be unfastened.
It is also important to remember that many items cannot be washed in the washing machine. Jackets, suits, woolen items, and swimsuits require hand washing.
