Preparing for washing: an important step!
Let's wash everything together!
- Leave behind the threshold everything that is not needed: stuck leaves, specks. Clean out pebbles and sand from the treads. If there is too much dirt, shake it off with a brush, broom, or rag.
- Take out the insoles, arch supports, laces. Consider these rules of good manners J. In fact, laces can get into the slot of the drum or drain of the machine, which will lead to its breakdown. The insoles are simply in the way - they can be washed in a machine, but after removing them from the shoes.
- If you are a cool sports girl and use custom anatomical insoles, wash them by hand, helping yourself with a stiff brush or cleaning sponge. Wet the arch support with water, soap and rub. When the foam becomes clear, rinse and dry.
- Rinse the crosses under running water. This way you will get rid of stuck small and large dirt.
- Place the sneakers, insoles and laces separately in a special mesh bag.

Hard case…
How to wash sneakers in a machine (white sneakers or shoes with specific dirt)? Remove stains first using one of the following recipes:
- Difficult stains on the surface of sneakers are removed using purified gasoline and stain remover. Dampen a cotton pad and rub the dirt. Let it sit for the gasoline to evaporate. Apply stain remover. After 15 minutes, rinse your sneakers thoroughly.
- Yellowness on a white or textile surface of the sole can be treated with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide 3%, washing powder and table vinegar 9%. Take the components in equal parts. Apply with a brush to the stain and the ENTIRE surface. Let it sit for a while and rinse thoroughly.
- Dirt on light soles. It is easy to clean with “White” or other bleaching agent. Apply it carefully with a cotton swab so that the product does not get on the fabric.
- Stains on suede after water. Stuff the sneakers with white paper, dampen the surface, and comb in the direction of the grain. Blot with a rag so as not to disturb the design. Dry it. Brush with a dry soft brush.
Handwash
For those Clean People who decided to fight the problem using their own well-groomed hands, I recommend doing it this way:
- Take out the laces and insoles. They are washed separately and then rinsed thoroughly.
- Clean the protectors first. Remove all dirt using a blunt stick. Apply with a small brush. If the mud has dried, soak the sole by placing the sneakers in a basin so that the water does not exceed the level of the tread. Wash the accumulated dirt thoroughly.
- You will need water slightly warmer than room temperature. Dilute a small amount of detergent in it and soak the shoes for 20-30 minutes. I advise you not to be overzealous with the powder - it leaves those same yellow stains that are then so difficult to remove.
- Gently scrub the surface with a soft brush or sponge.
- Rinse under running water.
- Dry, collect laces and insoles.
Explanation of symbols
To operate the machine correctly, it is worth studying not only the symbol, but also the exact use of temperature, type of wash, and so on. Let's take a closer look.
Work processes
Modern models of washing machines perform many functions, in addition to the usual cleaning of clothes. Studying the work process will allow you to keep things in their original form.
The washing machine works according to a certain principle. First you need to load a certain type of clothing (natural fabrics, wool or something else). After this, powder for the machine and conditioner, if necessary, are poured into a special hole. Now you need to decide on the washing mode and start the process. After some time, the device will notify you that the work has finished. If necessary, you can repeat the rinsing or spinning.
Washing in a washing machine occurs in several stages.
Most models have a delayed start or night wash function, which is very convenient for busy people.
Water temperature
Particular attention must be paid to the water temperature, as certain types of clothing can only be washed in warm or only in cold water. The required degrees are set automatically with mode selection
But some models allow the owner to independently set the required temperature. For this purpose, there is a special manual drum on the panel of the washing shirt, which allows you to adjust the degree of water displayed on the display.
You can adjust the water temperature yourself using the drum.
Types of washing
In order not to spoil the item and maintain its appearance, you need to choose the right type. There are quite a lot of them, as well as types of fabric.
Most washing machines have the following modes, depending on the number of revolutions and duration:
- Preliminary. Even the most stubborn stains are removed faster and more effectively.
- Manual. Used for the most delicate items, stain removal is usually carried out at room temperature.
- Delicate. She can also be called careful. Used for silk, cashmere.
- Fast. Washing takes from 15 to 30 minutes and is done in accelerated mode.
- Economical. Cleaning stains occurs as quickly as possible with little consumption of water and electricity. This reduces utility costs. It is also called electrolux.
- Night. It is a great help for housewives when there is no time to load things during the day. The machine operates in quiet mode without draining.
- Intense. Used for heavy soiling.
The machine has several washing modes.
You also need to sort items by fabric type. In accordance with this sorting, washing machines have special functions that are ideal for a particular type of item. You can highlight synthetics, cotton, wool, fine linen, denim, thick fabrics, sportswear, children's clothes, curtains, blankets and bed linen, winter clothes.
What does the duration depend on?
The duration of washing varies. It will differ depending on several factors:
- Water temperature. If the maximum values were set, then the heating element will take more time to heat the liquid.
This increases the waiting period during which the device will remain idle. To shorten the washing time, you need to set the temperature to low.The shortest cycle will be when washed in cold water.
- Rinsing laundry. If you have selected a program that provides additional rinsing, the cycle will increase by approximately 25 minutes. The exact values depend on the device model.
- Number of spin revolutions. The higher the speed, the drier the laundry, but this option increases the time it spends in the drum. For example, a spin at 800 rpm takes about 10 minutes, and at 1000 rpm it takes at least a quarter of an hour.
- Enabling the pre-wash option. If your laundry is very dirty or has stubborn stains, you should select a program that includes soaking. This improves the quality of processing, but lengthens the cycle by an average of half an hour.
Expensive LG SMA models are equipped with sensors that independently determine the weight of the laundry and the degree of soiling. After analysis, the device sets the appropriate time and begins the process.
Why are icons needed?
In order not to clutter the control panel of the Bosch washing machine with inscriptions characterizing a particular washing program or function, the manufacturer came up with the idea of denoting them with special signs.
- The signs are compact and do not take up much space;
- They are very informative;
- Thanks to unification, they are easy to decipher.
In some cases, it is intuitively clear what characterizes this or that icon, but sometimes the image is so vague in meaning that deciphering is impossible without outside help. According to their semantic load, all Bosch washing machine control panel icons are divided into: signs about things and types of fabric, signs of programs and subroutines, signs of special functions. Let's look at this classification in more detail.
Icons about things and types of fabrics
Let's start with the icons that indicate washing modes that are ideal for specific types of fabrics. In particular, in the picture below you see symbols on a Bosch washing machine, which are found on many models.
Under the number “1” we see the icon of a shirt hanging on a hanger - this mode is ideal for washing synthetic items. The program execution time is from 0:55 hours to 1:31 hours, water consumption per 2.5 kg of laundry is 40 liters. The water is heated to 40 0 C. Under the number “2” we see the designation of the washing mode for cotton clothes; cotton is washed from 1:20 hours to 2:15 hours, depending on the model of the washing machine and the user’s choice. Washing temperatures vary from 40 to 90 degrees.
Under the number “3” there is a mixed wash mode icon. At the same time, the same sign can be deciphered as quick laundry or washing without special care. The duration of the program is on average from 0:50 hours, but there may be options especially for Maxx 5 type machines. Water temperature is 40-60 0 C. In the next picture there are also three icons indicating washing modes for certain fabrics.
In the picture under the number “1” there is a dress drawn, and next to it there is a butterfly. It indicates the lightness of the fabric from which this type of clothing is made. You can easily understand that we are talking about various thin fabrics, primarily silk. Silk clothes are washed just fine in this mode. The time required to implement the program is 0:30 hours, washing is carried out in water heated to 30 0 C.
The picture under the number “2” eloquently tells us that underneath it lies a washing mode that imitates hand washing and is suitable for woolen clothes. We are definitely talking about wool, since the picture on the left shows a skein of woolen threads.
The third part of the picture shows pants. This icon hides the denim washing program. Jeans can be washed in medium intensity mode at a temperature of 40-60 0 C for 40 minutes. In some models, the washing time increases to 1:20 hours. The following group of icons indicates three popular washing modes:
- shirts/blouses;
- sportswear;
- small child's clothes.
