What mode should I use to wash bed linen in an LG washing machine?

Housewives deal with washing bed linen very often. Sleeping accessories are used every day, in every family. It is necessary to select a mode for washing bed linen in an LG washing machine, focusing on various factors. Let's figure out which program to choose for cleaning bedding.

Let's select a program

What should you pay attention to when choosing a cleaning mode? When deciding on a bed linen washing program, it is recommended to focus on the type of fabric used for sewing, the color and degree of soiling of the set. Light-colored cotton items (satin, chintz, jacquard, calico) can be washed by setting the “Cotton” mode (for dirtier items) or “Cotton quickly” (for lightly soiled laundry).

If the bedding is made from the same natural fabrics, but they are colored, the mode will be similar, but the water heating temperature should be adjusted to 40°C. Today 3D, 5D, 7D lingerie is quite popular. How to wash it correctly to maintain the brightness of the design? In fact, the programs remain the same, “Clap” or “Clap fast”. The only thing is that the water should be even cooler, the optimal heating temperature is 30°C.

The spin speed should not exceed 800 - 1000 rpm.

Silk or satin bedding should be washed using the “Delicate Wash” mode. Such delicate fabrics require special care. The “Synthetics” program of the same name is suitable for cleaning synthetic laundry.By the way, it is better not to use synthetic bedding, as this has a negative impact on human health.

Boiling 95°C

Sleeping accessories made from natural fabrics (linen, cotton, etc.) can be cleaned using very hot water. Linen made from such materials can be boiled. Just a few years ago, the bed boiling procedure looked like this:

• the bottom of a large enamel pan was covered with white textiles;
• a soap solution was prepared;
• deep stains on the fabric were previously well washed out;
• Bedding was placed in a saucepan and filled with soapy water made in advance;
• the laundry was boiling on the stove for an hour. Periodically it was necessary to stir the things being processed.

And if earlier the boiling procedure caused housewives nothing but unpleasant sensations, since it was quite labor-intensive, today it is very easy to treat things with water heated to 95°C. In washing machines LG “Cotton” mode suggests the ability to increase the water heating temperature to 95°C. Therefore, select a program, use the buttons to adjust the temperature and spin speed, and then start the wash.

Before washing

Before loading any items into the washing machine, you should sort the items into batches. If you want to put several sets into the machine at once, it is important to follow the basic recommendations for caring for bed linen.

1. The basic rule that applies to washing any items is to sort items by color before loading them into the drum. White items must be washed separately from colored items. Otherwise, light-colored fabric may become stained.
2. If you have linen and silk linen prepared for washing, you won’t be able to wash them in one go. It is important to separate items depending on the type of fabric from which they are made. Cleaning programs for linen and silk items will differ.
3. The powder for washing baby clothes should be selected specially. That is why children's underwear is grouped separately from adult underwear.
4. Monitor the weight of the laundry placed in the drum. Observe the requirements for the maximum loading of the machine. If you cram too many items into the washing machine, the equipment simply will not be able to work due to the excess. On average, a cotton set (sheet, duvet cover and 2 pillowcases) weighs about 2 kg.
5. Pillowcases and duvet covers must be turned inside out before loading into the drum.
6. Before putting bedding in the washing machine, carefully read the information on the product label. The manufacturer's instructions for cleaning items must be strictly followed.
7. Do not pack the drum too tightly. The set of sleeping accessories is quite large, so if the machine has a small drum, wash one set of bedding at a time. The quality of washing directly depends on the fullness of the drum. If too many things are stuffed into the machine, the machine may not have time to cope with the dirt within the allotted washing time.

If you follow the basic rules, it will be impossible to ruin your bed linen when washing. Proper sorting, correct filling of the washing drum, collecting information about the type of fabric from which the bedding is made will do their job. Accessories taken out of the machine after washing will surprise you with cleanliness and freshness.

Should I wash my clothes after purchasing?

Do I need to wash new bedding, packaged in a beautiful wrapper? Of course yes, regardless of where the set was purchased (whether it was an expensive store or a market textile shop). Before going on sale, the fabric is treated with special means that allow the linen to maintain its shape in the future. Bedding, lying on the shelves of stores or warehouses, collects all the dust.

Only purchased bedding must be cleaned before use.

When washing clothes for the first time, it is better to set the maximum possible water heating temperature, focusing on the type of fabric. Such disinfection will remove excess paint on the material. By the way, things cleaned in hot water may become a little smaller, and this is normal. When deciding on the mode for washing bedding sets, be sure to study what material the linen set is made of. Select the optimal washing parameters in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations: permissible temperature, spin speed.
