Tips for Using Large-Capacity Washers

February 12, 20251 min read

Large-capacity washers are perfect for bulky items like comforters, pet beds, and big laundry loads. But to get the best results, follow these simple tips!

1. Don’t Overload the Washer

Even though these machines hold more, stuffing them too full can prevent proper cleaning. Leave some space so water and detergent can circulate.

2. Use the Right Detergent Amount

Too much detergent can cause excess suds and buildup, while too little won’t clean effectively. Follow the detergent guidelines for large loads.

3. Choose the Proper Wash Cycle

For bedding and heavy fabrics, use a deep-clean or bulky items cycle to ensure a thorough wash. Delicates may need a gentler setting.

4. Balance Your Load

Distribute items evenly inside the washer to prevent unbalanced spinning, which can cause excessive noise or stop the cycle.

5. Dry Large Items Properly

When drying big loads, check and fluff items periodically to prevent damp spots. Adding dryer balls or towels can help speed up drying.

With these tips, you’ll get cleaner, fresher laundry while making the most of large-capacity washers!
