Sometimes it may seem that the statement of this issue is not so important. But if the powder is too much to pour into the container, it will not be a very pleasant result:
- White stains on things
- The drum will start to smell unpleasant
- The washing machine container will clog.
To avoid this, it is necessary to understand the issue in more detail.
Markup in a container - is it always worth it to follow?
Each washing machine has a container in which powder is poured. There is a mark on it, according to which manufacturers of machinery offer guidance. For greater accuracy, you should not count only on it, because the amount of loading and the intensity of contamination of laundry can be different for each wash. In addition, there are ordinary powders, and there are concentrated powders. They are added in different amounts.
The mark is necessary only in order not to exceed the maximum powder rate for normal operation of the washing machine. So, what to rely on when calculating the quantity? We understand further.
Dependence of the amount of powder and quality of washing
Every careful mistress knows that the quality of washing is greatly influenced by the amount of powder. But how do you know how much it is needed for optimal use?
Unfair producers of powder specifically indicate inflated rates, thereby providing themselves with higher sales.
Unfair manufacturers of washing machines specifically calculate the indicator so that after the expiration of the operating period the machine would fail, and the customer would come for new equipment. As a consequence, they purposely indicate the norms lower than required for high-quality washing.
The right data can be shared with us by people who repair washing machines.
In order to wash was at a high level, enough for 1 kg of laundry add 1 tablespoon of detergent. Exception - concentrated powders, the use of which for one wash can not exceed two tablespoons.
Also for automatic washing machines it is not recommended to use powders that are designed for manual washing, since they form a lot of foam, and it can get into the engine and disable the washing machine.
But this is not all the indicators that affect the quality of washing. Do not forget about:
- The amount of laundry that we lay down for one cycle.
- Type of fabric and the mode on which the washing will be done.
- Water hardness.
The last item will be discussed in more detail.
Assessment of the degree of pollution of things and water hardness
It is known that the quality of washing is strongly influenced by water hardness. Washing will be better if the water is soft, for this purpose manufacturers of detergent powders add special substances that soften the water. If you have soft water at home, the powder for one wash requires less than 20 grams, and if the water is hard, on the contrary, the consumption will increase by the same 20 grams.
Powder manufacturers advise to increase its quantity by 60% with a strong contamination of the items being erased, in contrast to the low degree of contamination.
What determines the amount of powder?
From all of the above, it can be concluded from what all the same depends on the amount of powder that must be used for a single wash.
- The number of things we put into the washing machine.
- Type of fabric, and consequently, the operating mode of the washing machine. After all, the amount of water that the machine will use depends on the regime. The more water is consumed, the more powder can be used, as the rinse quality of the laundry increases with increasing water volume. The exact water consumption for each mode can be determined by examining the instructions.
- Degree of pollution of things that need to be washed. Presence of hard to remove spots.
- The hardness of the water to be washed.
