If you were thinking of making your life easier with this washing cycle, know that you are on the wrong track! What is this program and why is it not recommended? Our answers to your questions.
In terms of washing, there is no shortage of possibilities: between new express cycles, ecological programs and those that promise a brilliant efficiency, we often get lost in this multitude of choices. Although some of them seem to be ideal solutions, offering saving time and energy, not all of them keep their promises. So, among these increasingly popular programs, which really hides traps for your laundry and your wallet? A particular cycle deserves your full attention
The household appliances are quite energy-consuming and the washing machine is no exception. This is why the majority of models have programs to say the least attractive, promising mountains and wonders in terms of efficiency and cost. Whether it is to save time or make savings, many of us succumb to the call of a washing cycle which, despite appearances, is anything but efficient and economical. The short or rapid washing program is part of it because it suggests that it is less greedy in water and electricity due to its short duration. But beware, because in its attractive aspects, this program implies high energy consumption because water in the machine has very little time to be brought to the desired temperature. In addition, very dirty or stained laundry cannot be properly washed because the properties of the detergent are not optimal during a short program, especially if you use laundry in capsules which does not have enough time to disintegrate.
What alternatives? To have impeccably washed laundry, it is better to opt for a conventional cycle by making sure to fill the drum sufficiently (without loading it too much) in order to space the detergents as much as possible. But it is the ECO program that wins, because even if this cycle has a bad reputation due to its long duration, you should know that it is more economical than a short cycle, thanks to the low temperature was less energy -consuming.
In summary, the best for your laundry and your wallet is to avoid using the short cycle of your machine or in a completely exceptional way. You will thus save energy and your laundry will be much cleaner.
