When calculating the amount of washing powder, even thrifty housewives prefer to put in too much rather than too little.
At the same time, everyone thinks about how well the laundry is washed. But rarely do they think about how excess household chemicals affect the washing machine.
Let's find out how to calculate the exact amount of washing powder without overwashing and without ruining the machine.
Housewives are advised to calculate the dosage based on how dirty the clothes or linens are.
How to do it right
1. In such cases, washing machine repair specialists recommend using the formula: 1 tbsp. of powder per 1 kg of dirty laundry (dry).
2. If we are talking about things that require an intensive washing mode due to contamination, then for the same amount of laundry you need to take 2 tbsp. of powder.
3. If the tap water is soft, the amount of powder can be reduced.
When using water softeners, housewives must also follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations.
Otherwise, residues of household chemicals may accumulate in the cavities and on the elements of the washing machine.
Conclusion
Among other things, housewives should remember that wet laundry weighs heavier, so the weight of dry laundry when loading the machine should not exceed 5-6 kg.
Thus, you can use 5-6 tablespoons of powder for one wash.
