What if I tell you that you have been using your washing machine wrong all this time? 😉 Far not everyone knows that there is a hidden purpose of each detergent compartment! 🧐😲 Although their arrangement varies, the purpose remains the same! 🤌 If interested, I will disclose all the secrets in this article! 👇
Have you ever taken a close look at the detergent drawer in your washing machine? If so, you’ve probably noticed different symbols, numbers, or letters marking each section. But do you actually know what each one is for? Many people don’t! Let’s uncover the mystery behind these compartments and how to use them correctly.
What Do These Symbols Mean?
Depending on your washing machine model, the compartments may be labeled with Roman numerals, Arabic numbers, or specific icons like a snowflake, star, or flower. Their arrangement can vary, but their purpose remains the same.
The “I” or “1” compartment (sometimes marked ‘A’) – This is meant for detergent used in the prewash cycle. If your selected program doesn’t include a prewash, you don’t need to put anything here.
The “II” or “2” compartment (sometimes marked ‘B’) – This is the main detergent slot. Whether you use powder or liquid detergent, this is where it goes unless you prefer adding it directly into the drum.
The compartment with a snowflake, star, or flower symbol – This section is for fabric softener or conditioner. It helps make clothes feel softer and adds fragrance. However, if you don’t use softener, you can simply leave this compartment empty.
Why These Compartments Matter
Each section is designed to release detergents at specific stages of the wash cycle, ensuring they don’t mix too soon. This automatic dosing improves cleaning efficiency and saves you the hassle of manually adding detergent at different times.
Now that you know what each compartment does, you can optimize your washing routine and get the best results every time!
