Want your clothes not to stretch when washing? Then it is recommended to set the "Hand Wash" mode in the washing machine.
Let's see what benefits this program gives us, how effective and easy to use.
The effectiveness of the program "Hand wash"
What does Hand Wash mean? Installed in a washing machine, it helps to wash things delicately, neatly due to the low temperature of the water (30-40 °).
If you are interested in how to wash in a washing machine without spinning, make a choice in favor of the manual mode. Spin in this case is not carried out, and the drum scrolls slowly.
Due to the lower load of linen (half of the maximum capacity), things are not wrinkled and rub against each other. Therefore, they wear out less, and rinsing is of high quality.
Designation
How to choose the hand wash mode in the washing machine? Different brands of washers provide their own designations. Some display a hand icon with a basin of water. Some simply sign each program. Let's understand:
- Bosch washing machine brands have badges that are easy to decipher thanks to the manual. Even if the user manual is lost, and your things need careful cleaning, set the temperature to no more than 30 degrees and turn off the spin, or minimize it.
- Samsung manufacturers have designated standard modes with icons, they are easy to read and remember.
- Zanussi CMA models allow you to set the temperature by turning the selector on the control panel. Then, using the keys, additional parameters are set.
In some models, you can choose a delicate program. What is the difference between hand washing and delicate? Only by the fact that for various brands it is carried out either with a spin or without it.
