TIPS FOR BUYING
While going to buy a washing machine, you need to keep few things in mind. Firstly, keep in mind about the material of the tub (wash tub). The tub can be of stainless steel or plastic or porcelain-enamel. Stainless steel wash tubs are the expensive one. The plastic tubs are more durable than porcelain-enamel one. However, stainless steel wash tubs are the best among all because they are more durable and can give better spins. The second thing you must keep in mind is the wash setting. In most of the washing machines, you can get the options to wash the clothes like delicate wash or strong wash. You can change this using a rotary system or a touch pad system. The third thing is the spin cycle. Spin cycle represents the number of times your clothes are spinning to get dry. The more number of spinning, the better will it dries. Another important thing to keep in mind is the time delay and the pre soak. The time delay allows you to load the machine first and start it later. While pre-soak gives you the chance to soak your clothes before washing them. So if there is any stain on cloth, the machine can remove it easily.
Which Machine Suits Your Needs?
You can buy any one of two washing machines available in market (either semi automatic or fully automatic). You should place this decision of buying a washing machine based on your needs.
Semi Automatic: There are two tubs present in this. One is used for washing clothes and the other one is for drying them. So, you need to do the shifting of clothes. The advantage with this is that it takes fewer water supplies than fully automatic. Also, they are cheaply available in the market (at low cost). The only disadvantage is that it needs more space to accommodate and it needs user interference again and again.
Fully Automatic: There is only a single tub for all functions. Hence there is no need of shifting clothes. The advantage with this is that they are more energy efficient and they need to be programmed only once at the beginning. The only disadvantage of this machine is that it is costly.
TIPS FOR MAINTAINING
You need to maintain your washing machine on a daily basis. After you have washed the clothes, keep the door of machine open, so the moisture and the dampness may dry out. You need to take care about the material of the clothes you are putting like heavy carpets. This may destroy the motor or can cause an internal damage to it. You need to clean the interiors of the machine on a regular basis. If you find your machine is not cleaning the clothes properly and are giving clothes little spotted, then it is the time to clean the machine from interior. Avoid using excess detergent. Use only the required amount of the detergent. No need to use it in a large amount. Never overload the machine. Make sure that your machine does not over heat because it may shrink the clothes. Try to keep the outer body of the machine clean. Suppose there is spilled detergent on the body or something sticky mess, then polishing outside the body will make it clean. And the last but the most important thing is to keep the machine on a proper level. Otherwise, the machine may get damage and it may vibrate your walls. You need to keep all the four legs on the floor.
So all these points you need to keep in mind before buying the machine and also for maintaining it. On keeping all these points in mind, it is Guaranteed that the machine will be highly durable.
