Wash with liquid powder

So, you have decided to wash with liquid detergent.To make washing a success the first time, do not be lazy and study the instructions, both for the powder and for the washing machine.

You can pour liquid powder in several ways: into a special compartment or directly into the drum. Pay special attention to the recommendations for the machine, since in some devices loading powder into the drum itself is prohibited.

Important
Not all liquid detergents can be loaded with laundry. The label may contain a restriction: avoid direct contact with things. Such a concentrate can only be poured into a special compartment.

Standard machines have three compartments for detergents. Which one should I pour the gel composition into? The first compartment is designated by the letter A or the number 1 (I). It is intended for the soaking stage. It is extremely rare to pour gel concentrate there, and is not always allowed by the design of the compartment. If the contamination is strong and old, use the first section, but do not forget to select the appropriate mode, otherwise the product will not be used.

The second compartment - B, or 2 (II) - is intended for the main washing cycle. Liquid powder is poured there. Special products with a whitening function are also placed there. In some machines, the departments are equipped with a special lid or removable partition for liquid powder.

Advice
If you do not find instructions in the instructions, then rely on the volume of the compartment. The largest section is intended for the main wash.

The third compartment is usually smaller than the others. Designated as C or 3 (III). Its purpose is the rinsing stage. Usually fabric softener is added there, antistatic or emollient. You can calculate the rinsing department by the markings. The maximum fluid level is marked with the word “Max” or an asterisk.You can add concentrate to this compartment in small quantities. It rinses clothes well, so it won’t leave streaks, but will only improve the washing result.

The second way to load is directly into the drum. Its advantage is that the container and hose remain clean after washing. Manufacturers often add a measuring container or dispenser cap to the product. The product is poured directly into it, the amount of which is easy to track. Next, the container is immersed in the drum along with the clothes, and the wash starts.

The magazine purity-en.htgetrid.com advises choosing the second method for old devices that are so worn out that water begins to flow poorly into the powder compartments. Adding gel directly to the drum saves powder and extends the life of the machine. Another method is recommended for washing baby clothes. Products for this purpose are sold complete with a measuring cup.

Advice
Don't throw away your favorite measuring cap for washing in the drum. It may be useful for a different brand of liquid powder, with or without a less convenient dispenser container.

Rules of use:

• When washing with a liquid detergent, give priority to the recommendations in the instructions for the machine rather than to the powder.
• It is not necessary to follow the dosage indicated on the label. There is no need for a large amount of liquid product: for a standard machine with a load of 5-6 kg, 1-2 tablespoons are enough. Try washing with less product first. If the dirt does not disappear, increase the amount of powder.
• The liquid product is effective at temperatures not exceeding 60 degrees. Choose the appropriate mode.
• Gel capsules can only be placed in the drum.
• It is strictly forbidden to put bleaches, stain removers and other aggressive agents into the drum. This will definitely ruin things.
• To skip the soaking cycle, apply the liquid powder directly to the stain and let it sit for a few minutes to an hour. Then simply wash the item without adding anything.

Important
Please note: loading the gel product into both the powder compartment and the drum at the same time is strictly prohibited! An overdose can damage both things and the car. Unexpected chemical reactions cannot be ruled out.

It should be understood that liquid powder cannot work a miracle, despite its versatility. Any thing sooner or later wears out and gets washed out. Liquid concentrate can extend the life of clothing, but does not return it to its original color and shape. Always choose a trusted manufacturer. It is better to pay more money for a reliable product than to buy new clothes to replace damaged ones. Otherwise, the gel composition is clearly worth trying. Happy washing!
