Using too many detergent tablets

Detergent tablets take the first place in terms of convenience. They are easy to use and maintain, include a perfectly measured dose of detergent. However, that means just adding an unsuitable amount can cause side effects, form excess residue, and damage machines and engines.

No ventilation for washing machine

When we close the door of the washing machine right after taking the clothes out, we leave the machine in a state of increased humidity. This in turn creates a perfect environment for mold and bacteria to grow. Ideally, you should open the washing machine door for 15-20 minutes and then close it, even wipe the washing machine surface with a cloth after washing.

Use washing powder instead of washing liquid

Detergents are great for removing stubborn stains, but can clog the washing machine system. When you have chosen machine washing, laundry detergent is the most suitable choice. It removes the initial stains better, leaves less marks on clothes and is especially machine-safe thanks to its good dissolving properties.

Add washing powder right on clothes

First, washing machines are designed a certain way for a reason. It releases the detergent at the right time, and when this sequence is broken, it may not dissolve completely. It leads to the second negative factor: laundry detergent can remain on clothes and leave white marks and stripes.

Use regular rinse water

The advantage of using fabric softener is to create fragrance and softness for clothes. Technically, however, fabric softeners do not contribute to better cleaning of clothes.

On the contrary, they add chemicals to the things you wear. In addition, washing machines are also more susceptible to mold due to mold growth and clogging of the washing machine.

Do not remove hair from clothes before washing

If there are animals in the house, it is completely natural that their clothes are often covered in fur. But if you put hair-stained clothes in the washing machine right away, it’s unusual. Fur that accumulates in clumps in the washing machine can clog the drainage system, the engine, causing it to burst.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, it is recommended to spend a few minutes cleaning the hair on the clothes with the sticky roller before washing.

Humidity creates a perfect environment for mold to grow. It makes clothes smell bad after washing. That’s why you shouldn’t put wet clothes or sweaty sportswear in the washing machine long before you start the washing machine. If you haven’t washed them yet, hang and dry them and put them in the machine later.
