Quick wash is very popular among owners of washing machines. This mode is present in almost all modern automatic machines. This program may have other similar names, but the features of its implementation will be the same. Let's try to figure out what quick wash is and in what cases it should be used.
Purpose of the mode
Quick wash in a washing machine is a mode that includes washing, rinsing and spinning. All these procedures are performed very quickly - no more than 30 minutes. However, this is not the limit.
Modern automatic washing machines have a "super fast wash" option. Another name is "15 minutes".
In just fifteen minutes, the washing machine washes, rinses and spins the items. The clothes washed in this case look almost the same as after the cotton option.
Fast and super fast washing are usually used to wash socks, shirts T-shirts and other lightly soiled items. The washing process is carried out at a temperature of 30 or 400C.
Washing can be done as follows:
- Soak very dirty laundry for 15-20 minutes;
- Rub stains on clothes with laundry soap;
- Wring things out a little and put them in the washing machine;
- Enable the super fast option.
After this, even heavily soiled items are washed almost perfectly. Moreover, the process takes less time compared to washing dry, heavily soiled items with the “Cotton” option. Also, the above method allows you to save water, electricity and detergents.
When should you not use quick wash?
Do not wash all soiled laundry using the accelerated mode. It is important to sort laundry by type and color of fabric, as well as by degree of soiling. The most soiled items should be washed separately using a different program.
It is also important to consider the following nuances:
- There is no need to wash worn clothes in this mode. Even if the laundry does not contain obvious stains;
- Do not use the quick wash program to towels And bed linen. After all, to get rid of dust mites and microbes, a higher water temperature is required. In 30-40 degree water, only part of the washing powder is activated. As a result, germs and dust mites continue to live and multiply in towels and bed linen even after washing;
- This option is not suitable for delicate items. During the accelerated washing process, intense high-speed spinning occurs, which can damage delicate fabrics;
- When using fast mode, do not load machine drum to the maximum. It's best to load it halfway. Then the laundry will be rinsed efficiently.
Other popular options
Owners of washing machines, in addition to the quick wash option, use other programs that wash things more thoroughly.
The most popular include:
- Clap, clap quickly, as well as other programs with a similar name. These programs take quite a long time to run. For example, the fast clap option takes approximately 80 minutes, and the clap mode takes approximately 120 minutes. During the washing and rinsing process, the drum rotates slowly. And the spin is performed at high speeds. This option is used for linen and cotton underwear. The water temperature is usually high - from 60 to 95 0C.
- Synthetics, synthetics quickly and other similar programs. Washing is carried out at an intensive pace. Water temperature – from 40 to 600C. The laundry is spun at high speeds. It is worth noting the Gentle Synthetics program, which is used in cases where you need to wash heavily faded synthetic items. The water temperature does not exceed thirty degrees, and the spin speed is up to 800 rpm.
- Wash by hand. This option completely simulates manual. When using this program, laundry is washed in 60 - 90 minutes. In this situation, the drum of the machine rotates at low speeds.
- Gentle wash or delicate fabrics. This program is used to wash cashmere, silk and other finicky fabrics. Linen is washed at a temperature of 30-40 0C at minimum speed. The program takes quite a long time to complete.
- Intensive wash. In this process, you can only wash items made from coarse fabrics that are not susceptible to harsh mechanical influences. During the spin process, the drum rotates at high speeds - up to 1800 rpm.
