The appearance of washing machines has made our lives very convenient, freeing up human labor after a long day of tiring work. On the washing machine there is a "small box" that brings great benefits, let's promote its uses immediately.

The effect of the "small box" in the washing machine

In the past, when the washing machine did not appear, whether it was hot or cold, we could only wash clothes by hand, a rather hard job, and dehydrating and drying clothes was also very troublesome. But now it is different because life has a washing machine as a friend. The washing machine is completely intelligent, not only can it wash clothes but also can spin them. We just need to take them out to dry, which is much more convenient and saves us a lot of time!

An electrical repairman said that such a "small box" is actually called a "washing box", which is closely related to the fact that our clothes cannot be washed clean.
Washing machines are increasingly improved to serve the increasingly high demands of people. Nowadays, there is a "small box" on the drum washing machine, but every time we wash clothes, many people ignore it, just throw the clothes in, put in the detergent and wash, but the clothes are still not as clean as imagined. An electrical appliance repairman said that such a "small box" is actually called a "washing box", which is closely related to the fact that our clothes cannot be washed clean.

Because the structure of the drum washing machine is actually quite complicated, we must clearly understand the function of the "washing box" before washing clothes. If after washing the clothes there are still some bubbles, it is a "small mistake" that we made, which is not cleaning the "box" before using it. Another possibility is that we used the wrong "washing box" method!

After we open the “small box”, you will see that there are three small grids next to each other, in fact, the usage of each small grid is different, we need to distinguish when to use which one. The small compartments near the left and right are actually called “scheduled washing boxes”, this is where we add detergent when pre-washing clothes at a set time. When we start washing clothes, it will enter the washing machine together with water.

The middle compartment of the “small box” actually looks smaller than the other two compartments, mainly because it contains fabric softener, we can put a little fabric softener, but never put detergent in there. Put liquid in, otherwise the clothes will easily foam after washing.

The small grid on the far right of the “small box” is where we add detergent when washing clothes normally, but we also need to pay attention to the amount, otherwise it will be difficult to wash the clothes clean. In addition, after washing clothes, it is best to open the washing machine door and the washing box to keep the clothes dry, this is an effective way to prevent mold and odors inside the washing machine.

Some notes when using the washing machine

- Regularly washing less clothes is harmful

Many people have the misconception that putting less clothes in the washing machine will make the washing cleaner and save more water. You may save a little water, but the electricity is still the same, and the number of times you wash clothes will be more than when washing many clothes at once. Not to mention, damage such as scratches on the machine will be less likely if you wash many clothes at once.

- Do not let the pipes wear out

The pipes are very easy to break. Normally, the washing machine pipes have a lifespan of 2 years before needing to be replaced with new ones. If you do not replace them, water may leak out. Try to check the water pipes at least twice a year to make sure the machine is running well.

– Check the pockets of clothes before washing

Before putting clothes in the washing machine, check to make sure that there are no metal objects left in the laundry (such as hairpins, pins, coins, etc.) because they will make strange noises, jam the machine or tear the clothes.

When washing curtains, remove the hooks or tie them in a bag or net. Tie long strings tightly and pull the zippers on the clothes because when they come open, they can damage the laundry or the washing drum. In addition, the objects can also clog the drain pipe.

– Use the right type of soap and the right dosage

The packaging of the soaps used for washing machines will clearly state which type of washing machine is used. Using the right soap for each type of washing machine will help achieve high efficiency.

In addition, there are also printed instructions for using the right dosage when washing. If you put too little, the clothes will not be cleaned, and if you put too much, the soap may not be rinsed out completely.

- Note the types of fabric materials of the clothes when washing

Depending on the type of clothes, choose the appropriate washing mode. High-class fabrics such as silk should choose the gentle washing mode; normal clothes should choose the medium mode, only thick clothes such as jeans, khakis, etc. should use the strong washing mode. To save electricity, shorten the washing time and get clean clothes, after the first wash, take it out and wring out all the dirty water before washing again.
