5.1 Fabric requires special conditions to make washing effective. These parameters are: - temperature;
- wash program;
- spin speed and more.
In the process of preparing the linen is distributed according to the type of fabric.
The following is the sorting of clothes by color. In one pile should be white, in the second - color.
Do not neglect the degree of contamination. If there are heavily dirty things, you should use the prewash mode.
Tip! Be sure to store soiled laundry in special wicker boxes or baskets. Moisture should not get into things, otherwise mold will form on the fabric. Also, dirty laundry is better to wash immediately, without leaving it for a long time in the basket.
When washing bedding, duvet covers and pillowcases, the laundry should be turned inside out.
When preparing clothes for loading into the drum, be sure to check the pockets so that there are no foreign objects in them. Small things are recommended to be washed in a special bag for washing.
Determine the weight of the laundry for the washing machine
To determine the weight of the laundry and calculate how many kilograms you can load into the drum, the instructions attached to your washer help you.
Initially, you should rely on the technical characteristics and the year of production - the weight depends on these indicators. Almost all modern models of machines do not have the minimum weight restrictions, so you can even wash one handkerchief.
Earlier models do not wash clothes weighing less than 1.5 kg.
When filling the drum of the typewriter, it is necessary to pay attention to the type of fabric, because during wetting things will have different mass. For example, things made of lightweight material become much harder when wet in comparison with clothes made of cloth with a dense structure.
The instructions for use of the machine indicate that the drum can be completely filled, but it is not recommended to tamp things tightly.
Wash synthetic materials, fill the drum half. Woolen things can fill a third of the drum.
Minimum load of linen in the machine
Do not know what is the minimum load in your model? The amount of laundry in the drum when washing is directly proportional to what the level of vibration will be during the spin cycle. And this directly affects the service life of the washer.
Sometimes manufacturers do not indicate this characteristic, referring to the fact that you can put a lot of things into the machine, ostensibly to save on electricity. But not everyone is so important to save as the ability to quickly refresh a pair of T-shirts, a shirt or a dress. That is why in many machines the minimum load is 1 kg.
At the maximum spin speed, the distribution of laundry over the drum should be even, otherwise there will be an imbalance, which is fraught with serious damage.
If you do not follow the above rule, shaking and vibration of the drum are provided. And no matter how well the automatic washing machine is installed, the internal vibration will remain. This threatens the emergence of microcracks.
Conclusion: it is better not to experience the technique of washing several things that weigh less than 1 kilogram.
Maximum capacity of linen
The maximum load of the washer is an equally important washing parameter. The capacity of modern models claims even more than 12 kg of dry laundry, but experts are skeptical about this fact.
For example, let's try to calculate how much the blanket and bed sheet weigh: approximately 900-1100 grams. This means that a machine with a capacity of 10 kg will fit 5 such sets. But in fact, it is unlikely that you would put as much laundry into the drum at a time.
Important! Manufacturers often try to show that their equipment is better than it actually is, so the capacity of the drum is intentionally overstated. Is this true - to judge you.
The maximum capacity of the washer is an indicator of how much weight the drum rotates without overloading the engine equipment. But you do not need to constantly load the machine to the limit.
Often it is necessary to erase voluminous things that have a small weight. In addition, the density and structure of the material also determines how much the fabric absorbs water.
Suppose you want to wash a blanket. It will easily fit dry in a basin, but it is already more difficult to wash it in a basin manually, because the blanket will absorb water, it will become larger and heavier. Therefore, the easiest way to put the product in the bathroom, which is much more spacious.
The same thing happens in the drum. The higher the maximum load figure, the larger the item will fit into it. That is, a 10 kg machine is taken not to wash 10 kg of linen in it, but to put bulky items in its drum - jackets, coats, blankets, blankets, etc.
Important! The weight of the load is measured in dry form!
Features and determinations of the weight of linen for the washing machine
What is the usual measure of the weight of linen? Each item is measured in grams, for example, the weight of a women's t-shirt varies between 70-140 g.
Do you know what weight a bed linen has, is it suitable for washing? Usually the weight of a complete set is 1.26-1.5 kg.
Especially for your convenience, we have prepared an approximate data, which shows the weight of dry laundry for washing( table below).You can easily calculate the weight of linen loaded into the drum.
If the capacity of your typewriter is only 5 kg, on any program for cotton fabrics a pair of bathrobes and a few towels will fit into it. There should be enough space in the drum so that the laundry does not twist and rotate freely.
As for jackets, down jackets and other outerwear, it is recommended to wash them separately from other clothes.
Important! To avoid the imbalance of the drum, do not load small things with large things so that they do not mess up in one big com.
Automatic laundry weighing with a washing machine.
The washing machine can be equipped with 's “smart” automatic weighing function. .In this case, it is not necessary to calculate the weight of the dirty laundry when loading, as the machine itself will receive important information.
Plus functions: determining the weight of things, the machine itself will calculate the amount of water needed and set the optimal mode of washing. Also, the function is good because it guarantees reliable protection against damage, since it will not allow the drum to overload.
Now you can independently calculate the weight of dry laundry when loading into the drum. Follow the rules and use the data from the table above, and you will not have any problems. Washing will not be troublesome for you, requiring calculations.
