Most housewives use 3 to 5 familiar programs when washing linen and clothes, and this is despite the fact that most modern washing machines have at least 10 modes at their disposal.

Nobody wants to look for the answer in the instructions every time. Here are some tips.

By choosing the wrong mode, you can damage the fabric, especially if it is a delicate material.

To prevent this from happening, use the following recommendations.

Cotton and linen

These are natural materials that can be washed at a temperature of about 90 degrees Celsius.

As for the spin speed, it is within 1000.

Synthetics and mixed fabrics

Limit the temperature to 40 degrees and limit the spin to 800 rpm.

Wool

It is recommended to wash on the “delicate” wash cycle at a water temperature of no more than 40 degrees and no more than 800 revolutions per minute.

Manual mode is also used under the same conditions. The difference is that the machine operates with minimal spin and in a special drum rotation mode.

Silk

This mode also includes special drum rotation and spinning.

Black or white

Set the temperature to 40 degrees Celsius and 800 rpm.

Children's underwear

Wash at 90 degrees with maximum spin speed.

The main thing to remember is that machine washing is allowed in cases where it is provided by the manufacturer of the items.
