Most housewives do not even think that when washing use a lot of powder.
Most often, everyone pours "by eye", according to the principle of the more, the better. Such actions can cause not very pleasant consequences, such as:
- White stains on clothes after washing.
- Washing machine drawer clogged.
- Bad smell from drum.
So how much powder should be poured into the washing machine? Let's figure it out.
Manufacturer's instructions
When buying a powder, do not trust too much the proportions indicated on the pack itself. The goal of any manufacturer is to keep the buyer and make him use as much of the product as possible.
If you believe everything that is indicated on the package, you should spend a pack of powder weighing 450 grams on 2 washings! In fact, the norm is 1 st. a spoonful of powder for 1 kg of dry laundry. This amount is enough to wash clothes and extend the life of the machine.
Container layout
If you look at the powder container in any washing machine, you will see a small mark. This is the designation to which it is necessary to fill in the detergent. But do not rush to be guided only by the mark.When calculating the required amount of powder, manufacturers take as a criterion clothes with stubborn stains. In addition, it is not known what kind of powder was used in the experiments: concentrated or not.
Repairman's advice
The ideal proportions of laundry detergent are best known to service center employees or a household appliance repairman. They all agree that 2 tbsp is enough for intensive washing. spoons of powder per 1 kg of dry laundry or 5-6 tbsp. spoons when the washing machine is fully loaded.
In addition to expert opinion, there are external factors that can affect the required amount of laundry detergent:
- Water quality.
- Wash type.
- Powder.
Water quality
When washing in hard water, you will use more powder than when washing in soft water. Setting the type of water is very simple. You need to run an empty machine for a quick wash without powder, and during the procedure pay attention to the glass of the machine. If bubbles appear on it, the water is soft; if not, it is hard.
Wash type
The volume of powder for intensive and hand washing is completely different. If you load work clothes - add 1.5 tbsp. spoons of powder. To remove stubborn stains, increase the dose to 2 tbsp. spoons.
Powder
If you use ordinary powder for washing (“Gala”, “Ariel”, “Tide”), the proportions remain standard - for 1 kg of washing 1 tbsp. a spoon.Another thing is when you use concentrated laundry detergents - these are well-known Amway products or Japanese powders.
If you overdo it, you will have to re-wash all the laundry - white stains will remain on the clothes.
Dispensing the ideal amount of laundry detergent is easy. Believe me, it is much easier to take into account all the factors and make calculations once than to wash the laundry several times or take the washing machine to a service center for repairs.
Comments
thanks, very useful information
They write 1 tablespoon of powder per kilogram of dry laundry, but is it not said with a slide or not?
Thank you helped a lot.
Maybe for a slightly contaminated 1 tbsp per kg is enough. And if the laundry is very dirty and greasy? 1 spoon will remove all sebum?
I took 1.5 tbsp. l in this case, everything was washed off, the smell was gone.
Thank you very useful information.
