How to Use a Washing Machine<br />
Washing machines may have different technology, but ultimately have the same features and purposes. They all<br />
require the proper settings, soap, water and clothes to wash. Yet, there are some things you should know to<br />
properly use a washing machine. Follow these steps for success in doing your laundry.<br />
Difficulty: Moderately Easy<br />
Instructions<br />
1. Step 1<br />
Read thoroughly your washing machine owner's manual. These instructions are designed for your<br />
particular washing machine. If you don't have an owner's manual, read the button control labels on your<br />
washing machine to get an idea of what they do.<br />
2. Step 2<br />
Sort your clothes. You should wash white or light-colored clothes together and dark-colored clothes<br />
together. Clothes should be further sorted according to their material. Heavy fabrics should be washed<br />
together and light fabrics should be washed together.<br />
3. Step 3<br />
Add detergent to your washing machine. Follow the instructions on the detergent box. The detergent<br />
should go on the bottom of the washing machine unless your washing machine instruction manual<br />
specifies otherwise.<br />
4. Step 4<br />
Use the special bleach or fabric softener dispensers for your particular washing machine, if you are adding<br />
bleach or fabric softener. Otherwise, follow the instructions on the bleach and fabric softener packaging to<br />
find out how much and when you should add them to the washing machine.<br />
5. Step 5<br />
Load your clothes loosely into the washing machine. Load the laundry as high as your owner's manual<br />
specifies or to the top row of holes in the tub.<br />
6. Step 6<br />
Close the lid and set the controls of your washing machine according to what you are washing. Use hot<br />
water for only white cottons. Use warm or cold water for colored fabrics. Set the other controls according<br />
to the weight and durability of your clothing.<br />
7. Step 7<br />
Turn on your washing machine. Allow it to work through all of the cycles and turn itself off before you<br />
unload the washed laundry.
