Washing Large Loads or Bulky Items in a Washer
Washing Large Loads or Bulky Items in your Amana Washer
Handling large loads or bulky items in your washer can seem challenging, but with the right techniques, it’s a straightforward and efficient process. Knowing your washer's capacity is key to avoiding overloads and ensuring thorough cleaning. Whether you're washing large loads or bulky items in a washer, managing these oversized loads doesn't have to be difficult. This guide will walk you through best practices for washing bulky items, address typical challenges, and offer solutions to enhance your laundry routine. Discover how your Amana washer can simplify this process and maximize its capabilities for all your laundry needs.
Best Practices for Washing Bulky Items
Always select the Bulky cycle when washing large items or heavy items. This could include comforters, heavy washable coats, sheets, and bedding.
Proper Loading
Properly loading bulky items is crucial for effective washing and preventing damage to the washer. Ensuring the washer is balanced is important. Distribute large items evenly around the drum to maintain balance during the cycle. Avoid overloading, as it can lead to poor cleaning. If it is imbalanced, rearrange items for even distribution. Adding small items, like towels, can help balance weight.
Correct Settings
For optimal cleaning, adjust settings based on item type. Heavy bedding benefits from a heavy-duty cycle with warm water to remove dirt and stains. For lighter items, such as pillows, use a gentle cycle with cold water to avoid damage.
Right Detergent
Choosing the right detergent is crucial for both optimal cleaning performance and preserving your washing machine. High-efficiency (HE) detergent is specifically designed to work with modern washers, using less water while delivering powerful cleaning results. This helps maintain your Amana washer and promotes a more sustainable laundry routine by reducing water and energy consumption. High-efficiency detergent ensures cleanliness without disrupting the process with excess suds. Refer to using HE Detergent in a Washer for more information.
