correct washing procedure

Laundry begins with sorting


The washing process begins even before you put it in the washing machine. It is important to sort your laundry to prevent bacteria from growing in it.
  • It is no good to store laundry in the washing tub! Prepare a laundry basket with good ventilation.
  • Bacteria breeds easily on wet laundry, so if it takes a long time to wash, let it dry.
  • For delicate clothing, be sure to check the washing label before washing.
  • Fold fashionable clothes and put them in the laundry net.

A good guideline is to put the amount into the washing machine after 7 minutes.

When I run the washing machine, I want to wash everything all at once! Some people may end up packing their clothes in there.
If the laundry is packed in the washing machine, the washing water will not soak in the washing water, and the water flow and rotation will not work, making it impossible to thoroughly remove dirt.
Limit the amount of clothes you put in the washing machine at one time to the 7th or 8th minute, as this will increase friction between clothes and cause damage.
It is also recommended to change the water level to a high level when there is a large amount of laundry to be done.

Be careful with clothes made of synthetic fibers!

Washing machines automatically calculate the amount of detergent and water based on the weight based on 100% cotton.
If you have a lot of synthetic or blended clothing that is lighter than cotton, you need to be careful to check that the amount of water and detergent is not too low, and that the clothing is thoroughly soaked in the cleaning solution.
For the drum type, the appropriate amount is to press the laundry lightly and leave a gap about the size of two fists at the top.

For vertical models, the appropriate amount is 70-80% of the washing tub.

Rinse at least twice


Inside the washing machine, clothes are soaked in contaminated water.
Imagine washing a rag in a bucket. Just rinsing it once won't clean the rag, right?
By rinsing with clean water several times, you can thoroughly remove dirt and keep your clothes clean.
Recently, there are detergents that only need to be rinsed once, but even if you use that detergent, we recommend rinsing at least twice.
Especially for people with sensitive skin or families with babies, rinsing at least three times can reduce detergent residue on clothes. It is very important to rinse thoroughly to remove detergent and stains from your clothes .

Dry immediately after washing


If you leave clothes as they are after washing, bacteria can grow and cause unpleasant odors.
Remove clothes from the washing machine immediately after washing and hang them to dry.
Also, to prevent the growth of mold in the washing tub, open the lid of the washing machine to ventilate it, or use the tub drying function to dry the inside of the washing tub.

When you smell a bad smell from your freshly washed laundry

Even if you follow the steps above and wash your clothes correctly, if your clothes still smell, there's a good chance that your laundry tub is dirty .
No matter how cleanly you wash your clothes, if the washing tub is dirty, the dirt will transfer to your laundry every time you wash it. It is recommended to clean the washing tub once every 1 to 2 months .
Just like washing the bathtub after soaking in hot water, it is essential to clean the washing tub after doing laundry. Especially if you are using soap detergent , the soap scum from the soap detergent is a favorite food for black mold.
This creates an environment where black mold can easily grow, so cleaning is required once every 1 to 2 weeks. Even if you go to great lengths to choose a soap detergent that is gentle on your skin, if it gets moldy, it won't help either.

Learn the basics and do laundry correctly

We tend to leave the laundry to the washing machine, but small adjustments such as the amount of laundry and the number of rinses can make a difference in the results.
If you can thoroughly remove dirt with just one wash, the stress of daily washing will be reduced and you will enjoy washing your clothes♪
If you are having trouble removing stains, try washing your clothes properly before changing detergent!
