Here’s the secret – it’s actually worth trying.
At first glance, it sounds just silly – why put a plastic bag along with skirts or jeans in the drum? Another grandmother’s recipe from the series “to lose weight, just drink every evening …”? Yes, indeed the grandmother’s way. But he’s smarter than he looks.
The fact is that in the 70s, cellophane bags were washed in this way so that they served longer. After all, the packages were in short supply. Then the hostesses began to notice that the clothes became noticeably cleaner after washing along with the bags. And this is not the only advantage of the strange life hack.
Saving powder
The bag mixes the detergent well while the drum is spinning. No lumps remain, powder or gel dissolves perfectly. Thanks to the bag, the amount of powder consumed is reduced. No traces of it remain on clothes – this happens when the powder dissolves poorly or there is too much of it. Likewise, the detergent will completely drain out of the tray without remaining in the form of cemented lumps.
Things are getting cleaner
The secret of the cellophane bag is that it is much lighter than other things. The bag, like a magnet, attracts all the debris: wool, hair, etc. Those who have pets at home will immediately understand the full value of a life hack: usually, washed things have to be additionally cleaned with a sticky roller. A package in a typewriter will save you from such a “duty”.
The drain will not get clogged
If the washing machine suddenly stops and cannot drain the waste water, then it is clogged. You can verify this by looking through the hatch. Usually, the cause of the blockage is animal hair, carpet fluff, or some small object. Before troubleshooting, it is necessary to turn off the water supply and disconnect household appliances from the network. The drain filter is located at the bottom of the machine next to the pump. From the outside, it is closed by a hatch or removable panel.
The bag will help prevent clogging, as all debris will accumulate during washing.
Rules for washing things with a package
First, the the bag must be without a pattern. If this is not at hand, then put it in a basin and pour boiling water over it. Wait for the image to finish.
Second, the water temperature should be no higher than forty degrees. Otherwise, the bag may melt.
Thirdly, you need to take T-shirt bagso that the bag picks up all debris thoroughly during washing. A small thin bag will not be able to cope with its work, moreover, it can be sucked into the drain.
