What could be easier than operating a washing machine? They loaded the linen, poured / poured all the means, chose the regime and went about their business. But sometimes home appliances bring unpleasant surprises. What if after washing the powder is not washed out, and the stains remain on the clothes? Our experts understood the issue.
What if powder remains in the tray?
If, after using the machine, detergent is found in it, you must check the following points:
-
The water intake is very easy to check, since most models of washing household appliances simply will not start the cycle. But this may not even be noticed if you are very busy with household chores.
-
The position of the water supply valve – sometimes an unopened valve can not only be the reason that the machine takes too long to collect water before washing, but also that the powder is not taken up properly.
-
Pressure force – again, there is a relationship with the previous point, or the case when the water supply to the pipeline at home is under low pressure. It happens that the pressure is weak in all taps, and the shut-off valves are open. This is a good reason to go to the Criminal Code.
-
Whether the agent was poured into the right department – sometimes it happens. You may mistakenly add detergent to the prewash dispenser. Most often, this stage is not used during the operation of the machine, so it is quite natural that the powder will remain in the dispenser.
-
Is the powder flush channel clogged – water will get into the tray, but it will not be able to completely wash the agent out of there. To prevent this, try at least occasionally to take out and thoroughly wash the tray after a working cycle.
-
The quality of the detergent – unfortunately, the use of low quality products often leads to the fact that when household appliances are used, they will stick to the walls of the tray. And even thorough cleaning may not help.
-
Its amount – if you overdo it with the detergent composition, its surplus will remain. Do you want to avoid this? Use a measuring spoon.
