5 'golden' tips to help save electricity when using the washing machine

1. Choose the right water level

Most washing machines today have 3 water levels corresponding to each washing cycle. You need to choose the water level appropriate to the amount of clothes to be washed. If there are few clothes, you should only choose a low water level. This not only helps save water but also helps wash faster, resulting in more energy savings.

2. Select and use the amount of detergent

Choose a detergent designed for washing machines. Not only does this detergent provide better cleaning performance than other regular detergents, it also helps protect the machine. This detergent creates less foam, so it won’t leave much detergent residue on your clothes.

You should use the right amount of detergent, corresponding to the amount of clothes to be washed. Using the right amount of detergent will help increase washing efficiency, save electricity and water. For clothes that are too dirty, you should wash them first before putting them in the washing machine, do not solve the problem by adding too much detergent because it will not work.

If you use fabric softener, you should also use it reasonably to save more effectively. You should add fabric softener in the last cycle, you can stop the machine for 10 minutes so that the clothes can absorb the fabric softener better.

Use the right amount of detergent, corresponding to the amount of clothes to be washed.

3. Never overload the washing machine.

You should arrange your washing times reasonably to avoid washing too much or only washing 1-2 clothes. Overloading clothes not only does not clean them, but also causes the washing machine to break down quickly. Each type of washing machine has a clearly stated maximum washing capacity, you should not wash beyond this level.

Normally, you should only put clothes in the washing machine equal to about 70% to 80% of the machine's capacity to achieve optimal washing efficiency. For example, a 7 kg washing machine should only wash a maximum of about 5 to 6 kg of clothes at a time, absolutely do not put more than 7 kg, then the machine will have to work overload, easily break down and not wash clean.

4. Choose the right washing cycle

Normally, the washing machine will automatically estimate the clothes to choose the appropriate washing cycle. However, this automatic cycle still consumes more water and time. Therefore, it is best to choose the washing cycle yourself to save more.

For example, with a small amount of clothes, you should choose a gentle wash cycle with low water level. And so on, depending on the amount of clothes to be washed, choose appropriate parameters.

5. Select spin mode

In washing machines, the spin mode usually comes with the installed washing program. But if you want your clothes to dry faster, you should choose a reasonable spin mode. For thick clothes, or bedding, you should choose the extra dry spin mode to save more time.

For thin, light clothes, you should choose a lower spin mode but still help the clothes dry quickly.
