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.
