A mustachioed plumber has revealed how improper use of washing capsules destroys a washing machine

For a long time I used washing capsules. I thought it was very convenient and practical. But one day, Grisha’s uncle, a family friend and a plumber with a lot of experience, said that these innocuous capsules can ruin the washing machine. And it's not on the packaging!



Editorial "Site" It tells you what you need to know for those who constantly use washing capsules.

In the liquid itself inside the capsules there is nothing dangerous. After all, this is a common means for washing. But the shell is made of water-soluble material. This can cause problems with the washing machine. These capsules do not always dissolve. Fragments of the shell remain on clothing and on the walls of the drum.



Not only that, after washing, parts of the capsule are poorly removed from clothes, so they are fraught with non-obvious problems. Because of them, an unpleasant smell is formed and pipes are clogged. Uncle Grisha said that he had already repaired more than a dozen washing machines, which were just clogged with remnants of capsules. Because of this trifle, owners of washing machines suffer huge losses.



What can we do? The answer seems obvious: don’t use washing capsules. But there is no need for categoricalness. Capsules are a great tool. However, it must be used correctly. First, it would be nice to study the packaging. It indicates at what temperature it is recommended to use them. After all, the capsule does not dissolve completely due to the low temperature of the water.



If you briefly walk through the recommendations, the water should be at a temperature of not less than 30 degrees, and the duration of washing is about an hour. A short 15-minute mode may not be enough to completely dissolve the capsule. Choose “hand washing” or “delicate washing” modes. Then things and capsules will be fine.

Also, when washing with capsules, do not overload the washing machine drum. Because there is a high probability that the capsule will clamped between things and not dissolve properly. Then you have to remove the capsules from your clothes. And it's not that easy. I have had to wash them again many times.



In general, we can conclude that the capsules are quite safe. This is a good way to clean things without much effort. After all, inside the capsules is a concentrated product that works perfectly. However, you need to use them competently. If you follow all the rules that the manufacturer indicates on the packaging, then no problems will arise.



Perhaps you should have a regular powder. After all, you do not always need to wash things at a high temperature and a long regime. Capsules should be left for those cases when things need thorough cleaning. We hope all these tips will help you save money on washing machine repair!
