Rather than spinning around from left to right, the plate agitates your clothes by spinning them through each other around the edges of a drum in the circle. That’s important information for you for a few reasons. For one thing, you’ll probably be better able to get your clothes out after the load. But to get your load actually clean (and to prevent other annoying problems), you’ll need to follow a few important steps.
Using the correct water setting in your washer can make a world of difference in your laundry. Hot water, for instance, sanitizes and kills germs better, but in some cases, it can shrink your clothes, fade your fabrics, set certain stains, and requires a lot more energy. So, reserve hot water washes for bath and kitchen towels, bedding, sturdy fabrics and any extremely dirtied items. For moderately dirty loads, dark colors, and the permanent press cycle, use warm water. Last but not least, use cold water in the delicate cycle for delicate items, fabrics that have dyes that might bleed, or clothes that aren’t especially dirty. Coldwater is the gentlest way of washing your garments, and it also requires less energy, so you can save energy and protect the environment.
