Introduction:
Have you ever noticed a mysterious third compartment in your washing machine’s detergent drawer and wondered what it’s really for? While most of us are familiar with the main sections for detergent and fabric softener, the third compartment often remains a bit of a mystery. In this article, we will unveil the true purpose of this hidden compartment and help you understand how to use it effectively. You may be surprised by its importance in achieving the best wash results and enhancing your laundry routine.
Ingredients:
Your washing machine with three compartments in the detergent drawer
Detergent (liquid or powder)
Fabric softener (optional)
Stain remover (optional)
A variety of laundry items (clothes, towels, bedding, etc.)
Instructions:
Understanding the Compartments:
First Compartment: This is where you add your regular laundry detergent. It is used for the main washing cycle.
Second Compartment: This compartment is for fabric softener. It’s released during the rinse cycle to soften clothes and reduce static.
Third Compartment: The mystery compartment! In most modern washing machines, this is where you should add your pre-wash detergent or stain remover. Some machines also use this compartment for a bleach dispenser or for detergents designed specifically for delicates or extra-clean washes.
Using the Third Compartment:
For a pre-wash cycle, simply add your stain remover or a small amount of detergent here. This will allow the detergent to start breaking down dirt and stains before the main wash begins.
If your machine has a bleach option, you can add diluted bleach to this compartment, which will be dispensed at the right time during the wash cycle.
Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions on your washing machine and detergent packaging to ensure the correct usage of this compartment.
Close the Drawer: Once the appropriate products are added to each compartment, close the drawer securely, and select your washing cycle based on your load and fabric type.
