How do you do a load of wash?

Question

Im a girl and im only 13 I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO IT

Answer 1

Okay, first you remove all fragile-looking garments (silk, wool, open-weave, velvet, some linen items, etc.) from the wash pile and set them aside for hand-washing or drycleaning.

Then sort by color: light colors, dark colors, whites. If there are bras in the wash, I like to fasten them (so their little metal teeth don't dig into other garments) and put them all together in a lingerie bag (see below) so that they don't get tangled with other things. If you have a lot of one color (I wear a lot of green and blue, so there's normally a green/blue load), put that together in one load.

If you have garments like jeans that have metal studs or other ornamentation, turn them inside out so that the metal doesn't tear anything else.

Then go back to the fragile-garment heap and read the care tags, generally in the neck of the garment. If any are washable, put them into one of those little net lingerie bags that you can generally get at the grocery store, in the household-stuff section that's often right by the laundry detergents. Make sure the bag is tightly closed. Add the fragile garment to the appropriate color batch of wash.

Put the load you want to wash first into the washer. With the strong detergents we have now, cold water works fine for most wash. The permanent-press setting will be safe for most clothes that are washable. Follow the instructions on the detergent container, adding the appropriate amount. Turn the washer on. If you have sensitive skin, set it for a second rinse. When your load is fully washed, hang the delicate items up to dry and machine-dry the rest. Medium heat is generally safe for most clothing and will not shrink your jeans and cottons in any meaningful way. However, if you have something that's already very tight and won't fit if it shrinks the tiniest bit, don't machine dry it. Line-dry that one.

If you're washing towels, cloth diapers, cotton athletic gear, work clothes, or anything that is made of tough cotton fabric and has gotten very dirty, you may want to use bleach in the wash. Cotton items of this kind can be dried on hot.

Good products: All Free-Clear Detergent, Shout Color Catchers. The color catchers are little paper sheets you add to the wash. They will capture all the dye that gets loose in a load of mixed clothing and keep things from fading on one another. With these, if you have a really mixed load, you can put in a couple of Color Catchers and wash the stuff together. About bleach, any bottled bleach, expensive name brand or cheap store brand, is exactly the same in its action. I buy the cheapest.

Answer 2

Many people are mostly used to load washers or may be you can say traditional washers,because it grew up with them and believe in their reliability. Traditional top load washers last between 10-12 years, so the need to update was really only because the ole' washer finally gave up. And it is this reliability that keeps people loyal to top load washers. Front load washers are known for their energy efficiency and convenient features. Unlike the top loader, the front loader's wash basket is set horizontally, and uses gravity to pull water through clothes. And because the basket never has to fill completely with water you end up using only a third of the water a top loader uses, but your clothes get just as clean. You also use less detergent, which means more money savings and fewer chemicals.

Answer 3

Look at the wash labels of the items, group them together by the temperature and cycle symbols on the labels. e.g. 40 degrees with no bar underneath, 50 degrees with a bar, 60 degrees no bar, 40 degrees with bar etc..

Sepearte whites from colours and light colours from dark.

Fully close all the zippers to prevent snagging and loss of shape.

Load each batch of washing into the washing machine, don't ram too much in try to make sure you can see the top of the drum through the door.

Close the door, fill the soap dispenser with the right amount of soap (follow the instructions on the box).

Turn the water and electicity on, select the program that matches the symbol on the wash label and switch the machine on. It'll fill up with water and then the drum should turn back and forth.

At the end the drum will spin quickly for a couple of minutes and then the machine will stop and you can get the washing out a couple of minutes later.

Answer 4

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish, JennJenn.

First you must seperate your clothing into different sections...Whites, Mediums, Darks, Reds/Odd colors, Others, and Towels.

In whites you put your socks, bras, wifebeaters, underwear, etc. Anything that needs to be bleached.

In Mediums you put your tans, your khakis, your light colored stuff. LIke your pastels and things like that.

In darks you put your blacks, jeans, dark chocolate brown things, etc.

If you have reds and purples, do two smaller loads of those. Don't combine them because they'll get discolored.

Other things you could need to wash would be dish towels, oven mitts, and weird things like that...Save those for last, as you don't need them every day.

The last group I listed was towels. This is where you wash your bathtowels, your underwear, and pajamas.

Next, you need to get some detergant and bleach, and hydrogen peroxide.

I combine the hydrogen peroxide and bleach and detergent in my white loads, it makes it stark white!

When you're washing anything else, just use detergent..and pour it into the washing machine.

Then push the load you are currently doing.
Example: If you're washing whites, then hit the "Whites" button.

Good luck!

sort your laundry....colds or warms or hot (whites are usually hot washes) it'll say on the tag of your shirt or pants. if you're not sure wash cold....(heat will shrink your clothes)

if you have a full load in the washer put in one full scoop of powder detergent. or one capfull of liquid. close the lid and start your cycle...make sure its on the correct temperature...whites /perm press is usually hot and colors are warm. cold would be any other option on your machine!! (typically) average time is 45 min for a load of wash
