The clothes were all dirty. When they were enough to fill the washing machine, they stuffed them all in to wash them. As a result, they were either not washed or dyed. When washing clothes, some wrong practices will make the clothes dirtier the more they wash. Recently, the American "Rodal" News Network published an article summarizing several common laundry mistakes that people make for your reference.
Don't deal with it immediately if it is dirty
If the clothes are accidentally rubbed with juice, oil spots, ink marks and other stains, they need to be treated immediately, otherwise permanent marks may be left. When processing, add an appropriate amount of washing powder to the water, and then soak the dirt in water to allow the clothes to come into contact with detergent in time to wash them easily. If it is inconvenient to take off your clothes or there is no detergent outside, you should quickly suck the stain with a dry cloth or tissue, then moisten the cloth, gently wipe the stain, and then thoroughly clean it after you get home.
Not classified? When washing clothes, you must not only classify them by color, but also the material and type of clothes. Green suggested that clothes can be divided into four categories according to their color: pure white, light colors (including clothes with white stripes), dark colors (black, blue, brown, etc.), and bright colors (red, yellow, orange, etc.). In terms of material, you must wash clothes that are more plush (towels, sweaters, corduroy clothes, etc.) and clothes that are easy to pill separately to avoid washing the clothes. Close-fitting clothing, such as underwear, autumn clothes, etc., should be washed separately.
The washing machine is too full
Some people like to put together a bunch of dirty clothes, fill the washing machine and then wash it, thinking that it can save water and electricity, but they do not know that this will not only make it difficult to wash clean, but also shorten the service life of the washing machine. Green suggests that the volume of clothing accounts for only 2/3 of the volume of the washing machine drum.
Put the clothes first, then the laundry detergent
If you put the clothes first, then the laundry detergent, it may cause the laundry detergent to not dissolve fully, and sometimes it will stick to the clothes, making it difficult to rinse clean. When washing clothes, you should first add water, then pour in the washing powder, stir it a few times to make it dissolve fully before putting it in the clothes.
When the detergent reaches a certain concentration, the detergent will no longer be enhanced. If the dosage is too large, it will not only waste resources, but also easily produce residues and reduce the body's immune function. Generally speaking, the amount of detergent is slightly less than the recommended value in the instruction manual. The water quality will also affect the amount of detergent. If the water quality is soft, you can use less; if the water quality is hard and the scale is high, and the detergent is not easy to dissolve, you can add some baking soda to clean it more thoroughly.
The water temperature is incorrect
Generally speaking, the higher the water temperature, the faster the decontamination is removed and the better the disinfection effect. However, many clothes are not suitable for washing with hot water. Pay attention to checking the washing label before washing. For example, underwear, bed sheets, etc. should be washed with hot water above 60°C, while silky and wool fabrics should be washed with cold water. When the washing machine does not wash after washing, stains will accumulate in the gaps in the drum. After using the washing machine, you should rinse the drum and filter with clean water. You can also add a cup of white vinegar to the water to help remove residual detergent. In addition, it is best to thoroughly disinfect with professional detergent every month.
If the drain pipe is not cleaned, almost everyone will ignore the drain pipe. Once the drain pipe or other pipes of the washing machine are blocked, it will not only consume energy, affect the washing effect, but also create safety hazards. Therefore, you should regularly use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum each pipe opening to keep it unobstructed.
