It turns out that not everyone knows why you need 3 compartments in your washing machine

The fabric softener is poured into compartment C and the washing machine takes the detergent there for the final rinse cycle.

There is nothing complicated in this system, the division into compartments allows the washing machine to accommodate the detergent according to the washing program and the funds do not mix with each other.

It turns out that not everyone knows about this. Washing machine manufacturers conducted a survey about using the right compartments for the right detergents and programs and the results were surprising. Up to 27% of washing machine users didn’t know what the fabric softener compartment was for! And up to 18% made no difference between chambers A and B and used chamber B for the main/correction wash cycle. The manufacturers were able to predict this and in most washing machine models, the washing machine removes detergent from each of these compartments during the main wash cycle.

Differences in washing modes

There are many washing modes. Very often manufacturers create them to create the illusion of many different functions that the device performs.

However, there are only a few modes that really differ from each other. And the differences are:

•  Water heating temperature  (usually 30 to 90 degrees)

Depending on the type of fabric, we read this information from the clothing label.

•  the number of revolutions of the drum

For example, high speeds are used when spinning and drying in the washing machine. Basically, the maximum speed of the machine is 1000 rpm. Means for standard laundry. When washing delicate textiles, the drum rotation should be the slowest.

•  the length of the  washing time (depending on the degree of soiling – if we have heavily soiled clothes, pre-wash them thoroughly, let the dirty water drain and only then take clean water in which the washing machine will deal with the rest of the dirt at a higher temperature)
