Sort your laundry: Separate clothes by colour, fabric type, and washing requirements. This prevents colour bleeding and ensures that delicate fabrics are handled gently.
Use the right detergent: Always use the detergent recommended for your washing machine. High-efficiency (HE) machines require low-sudsing HE detergent for optimal performance.
Load the machine properly: Distribute clothes evenly around the drum and avoid overloading. This ensures efficient washing and prevents strain on the machine.
Clean the lint filter: Regularly clean the lint filter to maintain proper airflow and prevent blockages. This helps in maintaining the machine's efficiency. Brands like Bosch, Samsung, and Whirlpool washing machines offer models with easily accessible lint filters for user convenience.
Check pockets: Always check and empty pockets before washing. Items left in pockets can damage the washing machine and the clothes.
Use the appropriate settings: Select the correct washing cycle and water temperature for different types of fabrics. This ensures effective cleaning without damaging the clothes.

Common washing machine mistakes to avoid

Using a washing machine might seem straightforward, but several common mistakes can impact its performance and lifespan. Here are some mistakes to avoid:

Ignoring the manual: Many users skip reading the user manual, missing crucial instructions and tips for proper usage. Always read the manual to understand your machine's features and maintenance requirements.
Using too much detergent: Overusing detergent creates excess suds that can hinder the washing process and leave residue on clothes. Use the recommended amount based on the load size and soil level.
Not levelling the machine: An unlevel washing machine can cause excessive vibrations, leading to noise and potential damage. Ensure that your machine is level before use.
Leaving wet clothes in the machine: Leaving damp clothes in the washing machine for extended periods can lead to mould and mildew growth. Promptly transfer clothes to the dryer or hang them to dry.
Ignoring the filter: Failing to clean the lint filter and other filters regularly can cause blockages and reduce the machine's efficiency. Clean the filters as recommended by the manufacturer.
Washing too many items at once: Overloading the machine can prevent proper cleaning and strain the motor. Stick to the recommended load capacity for your machine.
Using hot water unnecessarily: Hot water can damage delicate fabrics and consume more energy. Use cold or warm water settings when possible to protect clothes and save on energy bills.
Not checking pockets: Small items left in pockets can cause damage to the machine and clothes. Always check and empty pockets before washing.
Using incorrect cycles: Using the wrong washing cycle for specific fabrics can lead to damage. Select the appropriate cycle for different fabric types and soil levels.
Skipping maintenance: Regular maintenance, including cleaning the drum, filters, and detergent drawer, is crucial for the long-term performance of your washing machine. Follow the maintenance schedule in the user manual.

Yes, it is generally okay to use a washing machine every day, but regular maintenance is important to keep it in good working condition. Avoid overloading the machine with heavy or large loads frequently and periodically check for any signs of wear and tear. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the drum, filter, and detergent drawer to prevent buildup and ensure efficient operation.
