Weight of bed linen for washing

The washing machine is one of the most important places among all household appliances in the house. It allows you to save a lot of time spent on washing. However, in order to ensure the quality and efficient operation of such an indispensable assistant, one should pay close attention to a very important characteristic - the maximum and minimum loading of products. All recommendations indicating the weight of bed linen for washing are attached in the instructions to the technician. If these rules are not observed, the washing of things will be done poorly, and the machine itself will be subjected to overloads and rapid wear. In this article we will acquaint you with the relative mass of some products, in particular, bed linen.

Important! Of course, it is not very convenient to weigh things every time before washing, and 100-200 grams of excess or missing underwear do not play a special role. We recommend writing and gluing on the side wall of the machine case a table showing the average weight of various things.

Dry laundry weight - table

Many washing machines know how to weigh things themselves, but if your washing machine does not have such a function, use the following data.

Approximate weight of the bed set is 1.5-2 kg. More precise information is given in the table. Weight is offered for a set made of a calico-type fabric:

• A children's kit with one pillowcase - 1200 g.
• 1.5 sleeping - 1580 g.
• 2 sleeping - 1860 g.
• Euro - 2340 g.

Using this table, you canIt is easy to load the washing machine "by eye" without fear of overload. If the maximum load weight of a styalka is 5 kg, then to any set, you can also add a pair of pajamas or towels.

Important! Satin kit will weigh even less.

If you want to wash not the entire kit, but some of its components, then read the following data.

How much does a double bed linen set( cotton) weigh?

• . Duvet cover - 800 g.

. When washing items, it is very important to monitor the conformity of weight and mode of layingproducts. For example, if the washing machine is provided for loading 5 kg, then this is the maximum weight for the "Cotton" mode.

But more sparing modes require less things:

• For synthetic products, load no more than 3 kg.

All these data must be specified in the operating instructions.

Proper washing of the laundry

Of course, the weight of the bed linen is very important, but the rules of washing are of great importance. Here are some of them:

1. Before sending items to the laundry, sort them by type of fabric and color. Pay attention to the symbols on the label of products, which indicate at what temperature and in what mode it is necessary to erase this or that thing.
2. Do not wash together coarse calico and silk, synthetics and wool.
3. Do not load colored and white products at the same time.
4. Load things of different sizes into the machine - this improves the washing efficiency.
5. Before loading, be sure to check the pockets of clothing and zip all zippers, fasteners and buttons.
6. Do not exceed the download rate. Remember that the weight of laundry for a washing machine is indicated for dry fabrics, and not for wet fabrics.
7. Set the correct washing mode for each material. It is also necessary to set the correct temperature regime. For cotton and linen, set the temperature to 60 degrees, color and synthetic products wash at a temperature of 30-50 degrees.
8. Children's bed sheets and duvet covers( especially for newborns) should be washed at high temperature. If the fabric is natural, then it will stand 90 degrees.
9. For washing children's clothes, use special children's detergents.
10. Do not machine old, fragile and very small things. If you need to wash such products, place them in special bags.
11. You can not wash underwear with metal hardware( brassieres with "bones") in the machine.
12. Do not wash clothing soiled with compounds containing petrol and other solvents.
13. Heavy items are erased without the "Spin" function.
14. The minimum load weight must not be less than 1 kg.

If you follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the operation of household appliances and washing rules, your faithful assistant will serve with faith and truth for many years, pleasing with freshness and cleanliness of the laundry.
