How to use and where to fill the conditioner when washing in a washing machine?
The product is added directly to the washing machine along with the usual powder. Some housewives use conditioner with every wash, someone pours it from time to time, and, of course, there are those who do not add conditioner at all.
So let's say you're using air conditioner in your washing machine for the first time, but where do you pour it? When? Before washing or during the program? Let's figure it out.
In the first case, the tray for powder and other products is almost always located on the left, rarely on the right.
In the second case, the compartment is located on the inside of the unit cover. Cuvettes usually have three compartments of different sizes and sometimes differ in color.
- The first and largest compartment in the tray for granular powder or liquid detergent.The marking is compartment 2 or II, or B. Here we put the main laundry detergent.
In the compartment with the inscriptions to choose from: 1, I, A put the prewash or soaking agent. This part of the tray differs from the first one in size, it is much smaller.- The smallest compartment with the image of a flower is suitable for the air conditioner, it can also be marked: 3, III, C. Sometimes the manufacturer marks this part of the tray in blue. In order for the product not to be washed off with water during washing, the container is removed from the tray.
When and where to fill up the air conditioner
So, we figured out where to pour the air conditioner, now we need to understand when.
The easiest way is to add conditioner at the very beginning of the wash. Load the laundry, pour the powder and the right amount of rinse aid into the compartment provided for each.
Do not confuse! Otherwise, you will have to redo everything. And this is about 46 liters of water.
There are times when the wash has already begun, but they forgot to pour the conditioner. There is a solution: add the product just before rinsing the laundry.
For such cases, be sure to use a separate detergent container. It makes no sense to pour the conditioner into the drum before washing, it will simply be washed off with water and there will be no effect.
