We all like to always look our best, but sometimes our clothes come out of the washing machine still dirty. It can be incredibly frustrating trying to figure out why your clothes are still coming out a bit grimy. To help you get the most out of your laundry, we’ve compiled five reasons why your clothes may not be getting as clean as you’d like – if the following tips don’t work, it might be time to arrange a Fisher and Paykel service from a qualified professional.
- Not Enough Detergent
Not using enough detergent is one of the most common reasons why your clothes are coming out dirty. When it comes to detergent, more isn’t always better – it’s important to follow the instructions on the product label carefully and use only the recommended amount for your load size. If you have hard water, you may even need to bump it up a bit!
- Overloading the Machine
Do you ever find yourself cramming too many items into each load? This is a recipe for disaster when it comes to washing machines! Make sure all items can move freely in the drum and that there is at least an inch between every piece of clothing and the sides of the machine. This will allow for proper agitation and cleaning action from all sides!
- Incorrect Settings
The settings on your washer can make or break a successful wash cycle! Before starting any cycle, double-check that you have selected the correct temperature and cycle length for your specific load type (delicate vs. heavy). Also make sure that any special features like pre-wash or extra rinse are turned on if necessary.
- Too Much Lint
Have you been noticing lint building up in each load? This could be due to overloading, incorrect settings, or even improper sorting techniques – whatever it is, it needs to be addressed ASAP! To reduce lint build-up in future loads, be sure to separate light and dark garments properly before washing them together, and keep all loads smaller than usual until this issue is resolved.
- Poor Maintenance
Last but not least, one of the biggest culprits behind dirty laundry is poor maintenance habits! Cleaning out your lint filter after every load is essential in order to ensure proper air circulation during each cycle – plus, regularly running empty cycles with bleach or vinegar will help keep dirt and grime at bay while keeping odours away.
No one likes dealing with dirty laundry – especially those of us who like our outfits looking fresh 24/7!
By following these five tips above, you should have no problem getting those pesky stains out once and for all, so that all your outfits look their best from now on. Plus, regular maintenance will extend the life of your washer/dryer set so you can enjoy clean clothes for years to come. Happy laundering!
