Often housewives do not know where to pour liquid powder into washing machine... The cleanliness of the laundry depends on the correct use of this product, therefore, before using it, you need to learn a few nuances of proper use. detergents which has multiple loading bays. You just need to understand the purpose of each of them by reading the instructions or based on your own experience.

1 Choosing a loading tray

Before using liquid powder, you need to find out the purpose of the loading compartments of the washing machine. Today, each automatic machine has a tray, the compartments of which are marked with special symbols. For the product that will be used at the soaking stage, there is a loading tray with the symbol of the Roman (Arabic) unit or the letter A. For deep dirt, it is perfectly acceptable to load this product for washing into the compartment.

Liquid Powder Loading Tray

For the products used in the main wash stage, there is a tray marked with the letter B or Roman (Arabic) two. It is this compartment that is intended for loading the gel product. But if you plan to pour it into the drum, then the tray should not be filled additionally, because things after washing will be in white stains.

The last compartment, symbolized by an asterisk (flower), is intended only for rinse aid or fabric softener.

Types of trays for all well-known brands of automatic washing machines:

1. Samsung "Eco Bubble" - the washing machine has a container with 3 defined compartments. Powdered (dry) should be loaded into the compartment on the left, and liquid (gel) consistency should be poured into a special container and placed in a drum.
2. Hotpoint Ariston (with semi-circular container) - Tray for fixed assets of various consistencies is located on the right. Additionally, it is noted that such a powder must be loaded immediately before washing.
3. Electrolux - washing machine with a standard container of 3 compartments. If there is no specific flap in the center for the main detergent, the liquid powder must be placed in the drum.

2 Correct use

On the this moment many manufacturers post detailed instructions for the use of this type of powder on back side packaging, where you can find a certain dosage, in which compartment you need to fill it, how to use the concentrate.

The labels most often indicate a certain volume required for one full wash, taking into account the contamination of the laundry and the degree of water hardness. Standard - 75-150 ml, which can lead to a rapid consumption of funds. Experienced housewives calculated their own dosage, which is quite economical and perfectly cleans various dirt - 1-2 tbsp. gel powder. This volume is provided for standard machines with an average load of laundry up to 6 kg and a water consumption of up to 50 liters. If the automatic machine consumes more water and has a drum with a larger capacity, then 2 times more gel will be required.

Likewise, each indicated volume depends on the degree of loading of the drum with clothes. A high degree of workload is not recommended, because detergent will not be distributed evenly.

Additionally, the instructions contain an explanation of the compartment intended for loading the concentrate. In most cases, this is a compartment for the detergent, which is used in the main stage of washing with liquid or regular powder. But you should carefully read the terms of use, because some of them must be poured into a special container, which is placed in the drum of the washing machine.

3 Advantages and disadvantages of pouring the product into the drum

If you yourself (or this is an indication from the manufacturer of the washing machine) decided to load the gel for washing into the drum of the washing machine or use capsule means, then you should study some points:

• with this loading option, there is a likelihood of less product consumption, because it will immediately be directly on the laundry, but due to the incorrect dosage of the powder, things may remain in soap stains and poorly wash off;
• carefully read the instructions for use, because some brands should be diluted with water due to their high concentration;
• concentrate with the addition of bleach or stain remover should not be put into the drum, otherwise your clothes will fade or be stained after washing;
• if you have purchased a liquid powder with added anti-scale substances, then it should be loaded into the designated compartment, because in the drum, the agent does not activate its work, without preventing the formation limescale on the internal parts of the machine;
• it is unacceptable to pour the concentrate into the drum if the machine trays are already loaded with detergents, because the laundry will be heavily loaded with various substances and an unexpected chemical reaction may occur.

Before using liquid powder with loading it into the drum, it is necessary to study the instructions for its use.

On the bottles of such products, the manufacturer indicates how much you need to pour in one wash cycle, depending on the pollution and the degree of water hardness. As a rule, this is 75-150 ml of powder. However, at such a flow rate, it is possible to work with one powder, which is beneficial to the manufacturer. Therefore, do not trust the information on the label.

Skillful housewives found out that for effective washing things with a gel-like powder, 1-2 tablespoons of concentrated detergent is enough. Moreover, if there are especially dirty items of clothing, then you can smear them with a product in advance and let them lie down.

Machines with a larger drum capacity and when fully loaded may require 3-4 tablespoons of the product.

As for where to pour the powder, it is difficult to answer unequivocally. Everything will depend on the model and manufacturer of the automatic machine. In most "washing machines" the powder drawer is divided into three compartments, one of them is intended for dry powder of the main wash, it is designated II or B. In this compartment, and you need to pour liquid powder.

But in some automatic machines, pouring a gel-like agent into this compartment is prohibited by the manufacturer. That is why, before pouring, you need to study the operating instructions for the machine. In such cases, the gel for washing is poured into a special container, which is placed along with the things in the drum.

When adding liquid powder, do not overload the washing machine - if a large number washing, the detergent will not be able to distribute evenly, as a result of which, after the process is completed, you will end up with crumpled and less clean clothes.

The question of which is better - ordinary powder or gel for washing, cannot be answered unequivocally. The main factor- quality and price. Many people buy both products and use them for specific laundry.

A modern person, perhaps, can no longer imagine his life without household appliances. Almost every house has a washing machine. It greatly facilitates household chores. For this miracle helper, manufacturers are constantly coming up with new detergents to remove dirt. Arriving at the store, you can simply be confused with such a variety of choices. And you also need to figure out how to use this or that product correctly. Let's talk where to pour liquid powder in the washing machine, and what kind of product it is.

What is Liquid Powder?

It is a gel-like stain remover. Sold in the form of a water-soluble capsule or liquid in plastic bottles... This powder is very concentrated, so very little is required to wash it.

What is special about the composition of liquid powder?

Liquid powder has many benefits:

• Copes with different kinds pollution.
• Perfectly rinses out of fabric.
• It dissolves well in both hot and cold water.
• Does not leave streaks.
• Prevents fabric shedding.
• Softens the material.
• Convenient to store. You cannot wake him up. It will not get wet or lump.
• Has several options for application. Therefore, housewives give different advice on where to pour liquid powder in the washing machine.

When to use liquid powder?

This gel is perfect for daily gentle washing. It is also used if you just need to give freshness to the laundry. But liquid powder will not be able to completely cope with old and oily stains.

Determining the type of liquid powder

If you put clothes made of different fabrics into the drum of the washing machine at the same time, then a universal liquid powder is suitable for you. For delicate fabrics (guipure, lace, silk, chiffon, wool, etc.) use a targeted concentrate. Also on sale you can find special powders for denim and allergy sufferers. They do not contain phosphates, dyes, chlorine and all kinds of fragrances. The type of product does not in the least affect where to pour the liquid powder in the washing machine.

Concentrates of all kinds of colors can be found on store shelves. They can be blue, green, pink. Different palettes do not affect the washing efficiency. The dye is added solely for a better emotional perception of the product.

What capacity should you give preference to?

As stated, liquid powder comes in several forms:

1. In capsules . They good in that you do not need to open the container and measure out the required amount of funds with a glass. Just put them in the washing machine and select the desired mode. Capsules are similar to sachets, but you do not need to open them. The shell will dissolve by itself in the water.
2. In bottles. This is the classic version. Suitable for those who like something familiar and familiar. There is usually a handy handle and a cap that can be used as a measuring cup. Most manufacturers have started making double lids with internal drainage. This allows gel residues to drain back into the bottle and not onto the floor when you screw on the cap.

The question of where to pour and how to wash with liquid powder of one type or another, we will consider separately.

Pretreatment with liquid powder

When clothes are heavily soiled, sometimes they need to be pretreated. This is especially true for liquid powder, which does not fully cope with this task. Take some concentrated product and apply to the stained areas. It is not necessary to dilute with water. After about 20 minutes you can start your regular wash. Some housewives do not bother with the distribution of the product over the spots. When needed, they add liquid detergent directly to the machine.

Where to pour the concentrated gel?

The place where the liquid powder is loaded will depend on its consistency and the type of container. The dissolving capsules are placed directly into the drum and the laundry is placed on top. A very thick and dense gel from bottles is poured into a special dispensing cap. It is poured onto clothes. For a non-viscous product, a compartment is suitable. There are several of them, so it becomes not entirely clear where to pour liquid powder in the washing machine.

We deal with the compartments

Ultra-modern models of washing machines are already equipped with a special compartment for liquid powder. For this product, old-style models are also suitable, in which the detergent drawer has 3 compartments. The number two or the letter "B" denote the compartment for the main wash. It is usually the largest and most voluminous. This is where it is recommended to pour liquid powder. The compartment with the number "one" or the letter "A" is intended for soaking. It can also be filled with liquid powder if you need a prewash.

The compartment with a flower or an asterisk is used for conditioner and rinse aid. If you don't have fabric softener available, you can replace it with liquid powder. But this will be an unreasonable waste of concentrated gel, because it costs more in comparison with its free-flowing counterparts. Therefore, the liquid powder should be poured into the main compartment. After washing, the laundry will be soft anyway. Let's talk a little more about the washing machine and liquid powder. After all, there are a few more nuances that should be taken into account.

Dosage of liquid powder

Since the gel is highly concentrated, one or two tablespoons of the product is enough to wash 5 kilograms of laundry in 50 liters of water. Each manufacturer indicates more precise recommendations for the dosage of liquid powder on the label.

Should you add a scent conditioner?

If you wash with liquid powder, then, as we found out, the rinse aid drawer can and should be left empty. If it is important for you that after washing the laundry is fragrant, then just get a gel with some scent. Odorless liquid powders are also commercially available.

Setting the washing temperature

The liquid powder dissolves perfectly in cold water. But the agent begins to work effectively at a temperature of 30 to 60 degrees. Exceeding this indicator will violate the composition of the concentrated gel. Choose for yourself where to pour the liquid powder in the washing machine. But before that, be sure to read the instructions or ask the manufacturer. After all, there are models that exclude the use of such a gel.
