High soil level selections typically mean your washer will fill, spin, and rinse the clothes more times than it would for a lower soil selection. Save the heavy soil option for heavy soils - it's unlikely to improve wash performance on a typical load.
Extra rinses, prewashes, and soak options. Similarly to the heavy soil option, options to prewash, soak, or add an extra rinse should be saved for items that need it. An extra rinse alone can add minutes to the total cycle time. If you're using the extra rinse option to eliminate white detergent streaks on your clothes I'm definitely guilty of this , you're probably using too much HE detergent, or mixing heavier-weight fabrics with lighter ones.
If you've ruled out these factors , there may be something wrong with your washer's load sense system, the water inlet valve, or something else. If you hate waiting around for your laundry to finish up, consider a smart washer that can notify you via your smartphone when a cycle is complete! Many mid-range washers also come with digital time remaining readouts that estimate how long the wash will take based on the options you select and the size of the load.
PS: Making sure you know how to load your washer to avoid overloading and the resulting rebalancing will help ensure that these time remaining readouts are accurate! Your washer may be able to predict the time when it first starts the cycle, but it won't be able to predict whether the load will become unbalanced. Many mid-range and high-end washers offer a quick cycle that can typically wash your clothes in 30 minutes or less. These cycles are optimized for small loads that are lightly soiled.
They don't clean as deeply as a full wash cycle , so they're not a great choice for your muddy gardening pants or a week's worth of smelly gym clothes. Make sure to use the Quick Wash cycle as it was intended to get the best performance out of your washer. Some brands have begun focusing more on reducing cycle times. For example, LG's TurboWash technology the 3. TurboWash combines the rinsing, spinning, and draining parts of the cycle to reduce wash times without compromising on cleaning power.
Samsung's Super Speed option is similar. We hope this article helped you learn more about today's washing machines and how you can keep the wash-dry-fold process running smoothly!

Welcome to our website! If you're frustrated with waiting for the washing, then help is at hand, as many modern washing machines offer a fast or quick wash program.
Some fast wash programs take less than 15 minutes from go to whoa so they're great if you're in a hurry, but it's important to note these programs are only suitable for very small loads — a couple of kilograms, or just a handful of items at most, and only if they're lightly soiled. Spill some juice on a business shirt and the fast program is for you, but don't expect it to get the grease out of a week's worth of mechanic's overalls — you'll need a more intensive program for that and probably a pre-soaker.
If you've ever found yourself frustrated at waiting hours for your clothes to finish washing you've probably wondered why washing machines take so long these days. Put simply, it's down to water efficiency — modern machines, particularly front loaders, are very water efficient.
That's a good thing for the environment and your wallet because it saves on energy, which is used to heat the wash water, as well as water itself. But the trade-off is that with less water, it takes longer to wash your clothes. That's also why top loaders have shorter cycle times than front loaders — they use more water. If cycle time isn't an issue for you or you like to wash in off-peak times, the increasingly lengthy programs shouldn't be too much of a concern — but if you're one of those people who like to do things in one sitting, it might be worth looking at a top loader, or biting the bullet and changing up your laundry habits.
Whether you've got a high-speed top loader or a slow and steady front loader, if you're anything like us you'd rather spend as little time as possible doing the laundry. Here's how to power through doing the washing in record time. Delay start is a handy option that not only makes doing the washing more convenient — by setting it to finish just before you get up, you can take maximum advantage of the sun's drying rays, and get the laundry out before you have to leave for work — but it can also save you money.
If you have time-of-use electricity prices, or can run your washing machine on an off-peak circuit, then you can use your timer to run your washing machine when your energy costs are at their lowest — typically in the middle of the night when most of us are asleep. Putting off doing laundry until you have no clean underwear left could take weeks, depending on how many pairs of underwear you have. Plus, the more frequently you do it, the less you have, and the less time it will take.
