Don’t Choose Hand Washing Detergent for Your Machine
Hand washing detergent is not suitable for machine washing as it tends to create more foam than machine washing detergent. This excess foam can hinder the agitation process of the machine, reducing its washing efficiency and leaving detergent residue on your clothes. Wearing clothes with detergent residue can cause skin allergies, redness, and itching.
Additionally, the excessive foam from hand washing detergent can overflow from the wash drum, causing moisture damage to the machine’s components and leading to motor malfunction.
Therefore, it is best to avoid using hand washing detergent in your washing machine and opt for a machine-specific detergent for better laundry results.
Choose the Right Detergent for Your Washing Machine Type
The type of detergent you use depends on the type of washing machine you have. For a front-loading washing machine, where the drum is placed close to internal components like the drain pipe and filter, it is best to use a low-foam detergent. This minimizes the risk of foam entering the pipe and filter, ensuring smooth machine operation and cleaner laundry.
On the other hand, for a top-loading washing machine, where the drum is placed further away from internal components, you can use a detergent that produces more foam and has stronger cleaning agents.
Avoid Using Detergents with High Concentrations of Cleaning Agents
While detergents with high concentrations of cleaning agents can effectively remove stains, they can also accelerate fabric wear and tear. This can lead to a sticky residue on your clothes, requiring additional time and effort to thoroughly rinse them out. Incomplete rinsing of these strong detergents can also cause skin allergies when wearing the clothes.
It is best to choose a mild detergent with a lower concentration of cleaning agents. This way, you can effectively remove stains while being gentler on your fabrics, saving time on rinsing, and ensuring safer and healthier laundry.
Opt for Reputable and Tested Detergent Brands
Always use detergents that have been scientifically tested and certified by reputable organizations as safe for users. Prioritize well-known and trusted brands that clearly state their product origins. Avoid using detergents that have not undergone proper testing, as they may contain excessive cleaning agents, produce too much foam, and potentially damage your clothes and health.
To maintain the longevity and cleanliness of your washing machine, remember to clean the wash drum at least once a month using a washing machine cleaner.
For effective stain removal, fabric protection, and prolonged washing machine lifespan, don’t overlook the importance of choosing the right detergent. What brand of detergent does your family use? Share your thoughts and experiences with us!
