5 Signs You're Using Too Much Laundry Detergent

Let’s increase the life of your washer.
To ensure that your washer lasts for a long time, here are some tips to follow:

  1. Ways he most simple way is following the manufacturer’s instructions: Read the user manual that came with your washer and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. This will help you understand the specific requirements and recommendations for your particular model.
  2. Level the washer: Make sure your washer is properly leveled. Uneven surfaces can cause the washer to vibrate excessively, leading to potential damage. Use a leveling tool to check and adjust the feet of the washer if needed.
  3. Load the washer correctly: Overloading the washer can strain its motor and other components, leading to premature wear and tear. Follow the recommended load capacity mentioned in the user manual and distribute the clothes evenly in the drum.
  4. Use the right detergent: Use the detergent recommended by the manufacturer for your specific washer. Using the wrong type or excessive amount of detergent can cause build-up, affecting the washer’s performance and potentially causing damage.
  5. Clean the washer regularly: Regularly clean the drum, detergent dispenser, and rubber gasket to prevent the buildup of dirt, lint, and detergent residues. Refer to the user manual for specific cleaning instructions.
  6. Check and clean the filters: Some washers have filters that need to be checked and cleaned periodically. These filters trap lint, debris, and other particles to prevent clogging and damage to the washer. Refer to the user manual for instructions on how to locate and clean the filters.
  7. Avoid overusing fabric softeners: While fabric softeners can make your clothes feel softer, excessive use can cause a residue buildup in the washer. This can affect the washer’s performance and may require additional cleaning.
  8. Check water inlet hoses: Periodically check the water inlet hoses for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks. Replace them if necessary to prevent water damage and potential flooding.
  9. Leave the door open after each use: After each wash, leave the washer door open for a while to allow the interior to dry. This helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
  10. Schedule regular maintenance: Consider scheduling regular maintenance check-ups with a professional technician to ensure that all components are functioning properly and to address any potential issues before they become major problems.

By following these tips, you can help extend the lifespan of your washer and keep it running efficiently for a longer time.
