Top 5 mistakes when washing things in a typewriter

Washing in a typewriter has long become commonplace. Therefore, many housewives forget about the basic rules for using this household appliance and make a number of mistakes. In turn, a similar negligence leads to damage to the device. Moreover, this happens, as a rule, at a time when you do not expect a catch from your own technique. We will tell you about the five main mistakes when washing things that almost every housewife makes.

Incorrect dosage of washing powder

If your items are soiled in the ground or have hard-to-wash stains on the surface, this does not mean at all that more granules of powder should be poured into the tray. Such negligence is fraught with clogging of the drain filter or filler pipe.

In such a situation, it is better to use a long wash cycle, a higher temperature mode, or apply pre-soak. The thing will become clean without causing harm to household appliances.

For the amount of powder per wash, see the information on the package. This is usually 150 g per 5 kg of dirty clothes.

Drum overload

Of course we we do not suggest weighing dirty laundry before washing. But stick to the approximate amount. To do this, you need to know that:

• a bedding set weighs about 2 kg;
• large bath towel - about 600 g;
• tracksuit - 1 kg;
• jeans - from 600 to 800 g.

Do not fill the drum to the top and do not wash one item at a time. This leads to rapid wear of parts and poor-quality washing.

Sorting things

Almost all housewives share white and color. After all, I absolutely do not want to get rainbow colors after spinning in a drum. wardrobe items of indistinguishable shade. But not everyone will sort by type of fabric. In the meantime, it is fraught with damage and the appearance of untidy pellets.

We advise you to disassemble garments by fabrics before washing to make them last longer and look perfect.

Illiterate washing of "problem" things

Socks, especially for babies, as well as underwired bras and other small items are often jammed in the space between the drum and the door. It is extremely difficult to get them out of there.. It is more advisable to wash such items in special covers or mesh bags.

Things with "zippers" must be fastened, and the buttons, on the contrary, must be pulled out of the loops so that they do not come off during washing. Turn the jeans inside out, and clean the clothes on which the pet slept first of all wool.

Wrong mode selection

Sort items by fabric type and follow product label directions to extend the life of your clothing and items. For instance, cotton fabrics are enough 60 degrees for washing. Spinning can be done at 1000 revolutions. And it is better to wash synthetic clothes at 30-40 degrees and dry at no more than 400 rpm.

With a competent approach to washing in a typewriter, its work will be debugged for many years to come. You will be able to avoid unnecessary breakdowns and contamination that lead to to additional costs and nerves of residents.
