Often, having bought laundry pods, housewives think about how to use it correctly.
Usually there are detailed instructions on the packages, but if there is none, you should follow the simple rules described below.
Simple and easy
Therefore, we are preparing linen (from 4 to 5 kilograms), which we want to send to the washing machine. It is this volume that one laundry pod can process.
Place it at the bottom of the drum, preferably in the middle, so that it dissolves faster. Put clothes on top.
Attention: colored fabrics should not be washed together with white ones, otherwise, the first ones, having faded, will spoil light things.
If desired, add fabric softener to the detergent drawer compartment. So the laundry at the exit will acquire additional freshness.
By the way, even at low temperatures, the laundry pod can cope with serious pollution.
What is important: it is not recommended to take the laundry pod with wet hands or try to open it, because if the product gets on the skin, it can cause irritation.
If you made a mistake
It is also worth remembering that if you load less than the required amount of clothes into the drum or select an excessively low temperature during washing, the laundry pod may partially remain in the drum, as it cannot completely dissolve.
As a result, after washing, particles of its shell or remnants of the gel agent may remain on the laundry.
In this case, you need to rinse things in warm water, and if this does not help, apply alcohol to the contamination and rinse it off with warm water after 15 minutes.
Another important point: the capsules are not intended for hand washing.
They must be stored in a dry place, out of the reach of children - in a closed package.
Benefits of laundry pods
They effectively remove stains, the required dosage is observed by the manufacturer (enough ready-made capsule is placed in the drum), they dissolve even at low temperatures (but not too much).
In addition, if the laundry pod do not contain conditioner, they do not smell, and the gel is washed out faster, therefore, you save water and electricity.
Another advantage: when using laundry pods, soaking and boiling are not required.
After applying the capsules, light spots and stains do not remain on things.
These preparations can be used for washing delicate textiles. It will also eliminate dirt on things made of silk, suede and linen.
Minuses
Small disadvantages include the fact that the laundry pod cannot be divided into several parts when a small number of things need washing, just as it cannot be used for hand washing.
Another drawback is that after use there is a persistent smell that not everyone likes.
Third: laundry pods cost more than washing powders.
We add that experienced housewives use both powders and laundry pods, thus covering the entire range of things for washing in a typewriter as much as possible.
By the way, like powders, there are laundry pods for colored and white linen.
