To keep your washing machine running smoothly and your clothes in great condition, here are seven common mistakes you should avoid:
1. Overloading the Machine
Overloading your washing machine can lead to ineffective cleaning and may even damage the appliance. Always follow the manufacturer’s load capacity guidelines to ensure optimal performance.
2. Using Too Much Detergent
Using more detergent than necessary can leave residue on your clothes and inside the machine. Stick to the recommended dosage on the detergent packaging for the best results.
3. Neglecting to Sort Clothes
Failing to sort your laundry by color and fabric type can lead to discoloration and may damage delicate items. Always separate whites, darks, and delicates before washing.
4. Washing at the Wrong Temperature
Washing clothes at incorrect temperatures can harm fabrics and reduce detergent effectiveness. Always check clothing labels to determine the appropriate wash temperature.
