“Health care” program in the LG washing machine

Health care program in the LG washing machine The Health Care program is new to LG washing machines, so few people know anything substantive about this program. Whether its launch is just another marketing ploy, or whether there really is a tangible benefit from it, we need to find out. Let's figure out what the “Health Care” mode in the LG washing machine can offer us.

Description of the algorithm

In the operating instructions for the washing machine, in the section dedicated to programs and modes, it is written that the “Health Care” algorithm is designed to actively wash away detergent residues from the fabric fibers in order to avoid allergic reactions on the skin after wearing the product. This applies, first of all, to children's clothes, since children's skin is very delicate, and to underwear and bed linen, since they come into closest contact with the body. The mode has a number of parameters.

The temperature is automatically selected at 40 degrees, but you can change it yourself from cold to 60 degrees.
The maximum permissible drum load is 4 kg.
The machine determines the washing duration independently based on the weight of the laundry that it pre-weighs. Washing usually takes a long time, from one and a half to two hours.
The spin speed can be set to a maximum of 1000 (or more if the model supports it).

According to user reviews, the “Health Care” mode is similar in parameters to the children’s clothing washing program, but is significantly inferior to it. Taking care of your health by rinsing and washing with plenty of water does a better job of leaching powder from the fabric fibers.This may be due to the fact that the Health Care mode uses much less water when washing.

Important! Using the standard amount of powder on this program, users were forced to run an additional rinse, which is not in favor of the mode.

As for the spin cycle, despite the high number of revolutions, the machine behaves very quietly when performing the function, practically does not move or make any sounds, and the laundry is spun normally.

How to increase the effectiveness of the program?

Perhaps some of the negative reviews about the program are due to the fact that people do not adhere to standard washing rules, which is why its quality in any mode leaves much to be desired. You can correct the situation as follows:

arrange clothes into groups: colored, dark and white, synthetics and natural fabrics, etc.;
Pay attention to the washing recommendations for each product. As a rule, the manufacturer explains whether the item can be washed automatically and in what mode;
inspect pockets before washing and remove all foreign objects from there;
Wash clothes with buttons and other decorative elements that can damage the drum in a pillowcase or a special bag;
It is better to turn things with a metal lock inside out and wash them inside out;
Do not use chlorine-containing bleaches and use powders and products specifically designed for machine washing.

By following these simple recommendations and carefully following the operating instructions, you can discover a whole new level of quality in washing your clothes, because you will know exactly what this program is intended for, so do not neglect it.
