Contrary to popular belief, the conditioner for laundry is not a must-use remedy. But, if it was decided to use it, it is necessary to determine which tray of the washing machine it needs to be poured in order to achieve the desired result.
It is absolutely forbidden to pour the product directly into the drum. He will simply wash himself with water and not perform his immediate functions. It is better to inspect the markings that are on any washing machine, read the instructions. If the instruction is lost, and the marking does not clarify anything, you can use universal recommendations.
How to deal with detergent trays?

- Compartment for pre-soaking. Small size, marked with the letter A or symbol I. It is covered with powder, used for soaking even before the start of the main wash.
- Compartment for powder intended for main wash. The largest of the submitted, labeled as B or II.Serves to fall asleep powder or fill liquid detergent.
Tip: If the air conditioner compartment is missing or not working for some reason, the liquid will have to be poured directly into the drum. But this should be done only after passing the main wash cycle. In this case, the product should not be poured directly on the thing, it can lead to the appearance of spots. It is better to use a special container.
- Compartment where you need to fill the final air conditioner. The smallest department, which is often painted blue. In some machines it can be removed. For labeling, manufacturers use a flower.
It is best to pour the conditioner in the beginning of washing. Do not be afraid that he will wash with water, the design of the device will not allow this.
