Using washing machines with these 8 mistakes, they will soon turn into iron pieces

Washing machines are one of the most essential household appliances. However, they can be damaged if you do not use them properly. In this article, Quantrimang will provide 8 common mistakes that washing machine users make.

Use a lot of detergent

Many people think that the more detergent they use, the better. However, this is not true and manufacturers themselves admit it. Using too much detergent leads to excess suds and clogs the drainage system.

Additionally, using too much detergent can clog the dispenser, preventing the detergent from flowing down into the washing drum and leaving clothes dirty.

Do not put underwear and socks in the laundry bag.

According to statistics, most of the problems related to washing machines are caused by hair/fibers. The laundry bag can ensure that after washing, the amount of socks and small fibers do not enter the filter and do not damage it. At the same time, your laundry will be durable and ensure that the accessories do not fall out.

Not cleaning the filter regularly

The filter in your washing machine plays an important role. It can trap all sorts of small things like coins, hair ties, etc. inside. Therefore, you should clean the filter 4 times a year or more often if your washing machine smells bad and doesn’t work properly.

Put a lot of laundry in the washing machine

Even if you have a lot of dirty clothes, you should not put them in the washing machine at the same time. Because this will not clean the clothes completely and will reduce the life of the washing machine.

Ideal amount of laundry:

• Cotton and linen, soiled items make up 3/4 of the machine's load.
• Synthetic fabrics and dirty clothes take up half of the machine's washing capacity.
• Wool and dirty clothes make up 1/3 of the washing machine's load.

Improper installation of washing machine

Sometimes, washing machines break down not because of daily use but because of the way they were installed. During the final stages of the wash cycle, the drum spins extremely fast, causing the machine to vibrate.

Here are the reasons why the washing machine vibrates:

• Uneven floor
• The shipping bolts are still on the machine.
• Damaged bearing or shock absorber

Use detergent not intended for washing machines.

The user manual always recommends that users do not use any detergent other than those specifically designed for washing machines. Using the wrong detergent will shorten the life of the washing machine and cause other problems.

Clean the washing machine regularly

If your washing machine starts to smell bad, especially inside the drum, it is a sign that something is wrong with the appliance. In addition to cleaning the filter, we should turn on the drum wash mode. If the washing machine does not have such a mode, you should turn on the normal wash mode at a high temperature and make sure there is no clothes inside and add a little vinegar.

In addition, a humid environment will cause mold to grow very quickly. That is why you should leave the washing machine door open when not in use and should dry the detergent drawer.

Do not leave clothes in the washing machine for more than 12 hours.

Experts say that clothes can be left in the washing machine for a few hours after washing, but not more than 8-12 hours. Leaving clothes in the washing machine for too long will cause the drum to smell bad and create conditions for mold to grow quickly.
