Watch out for the fast program of your washing machine.
This is perhaps the worst part of the washing machine. I know what I’m talking about because I’ve been deceived for a long time. It has to be said that it is very tempting to use it when you are in a hurry … But it is really a bad idea.
That’s what Didier, a friend who works at Darty, explained to me. Since then, I have avoided using this programme at all costs. Here are 4 reasons why you shouldn’t use this fast program.
1. A very expensive programme
The duration of each cycle differs: 90 min, 60 min, 30 min … We tend to choose the shortest program to save time and money. But note this: this program is a fake friend. Of course, it’s fast… But it also has a lot of inconvenience. And one of his problems, and not least, is that he is not economic at all.
I’ll explain… in 30 minutes, this program washed, rinsed and pulled out the laundry. To do this, the washing machine must heat the water very quickly. And that requires a lot of energy at once. Electricity consumption is then significant. So it costs a lot of electricity.
2. A not very effective programme against stains
Another problem is that this program is not super effective against dirt. Specifically, it does not allow deep cleaning of the inlaid spots. Why? Because the temperature of this 30-minute program is not very high. In general, this short cycle has a temperature of 30 to 40 C. Thus, some stains do not leave and the laundry is not disinfected.
Not great for baby clothes, sheets, towels and clothes really dirty in general. It is therefore better to reserve it for slightly dirty laundry or for washing synthetic or cotton garments.
3. 3. A small amount of laundry washed each time
When using this 30-minute program, it is advisable not to fill the machine too much. The programme uses less water than a traditional programme. If you put too much dirty clothes in the machine, they will not be washed properly. But the worst part is that they will not be rinsed properly either.
