Technological progress has greatly simplified everyday life and now almost every apartment and every house has a washing machine. If you have chosen an LG brand car, then we can be happy for you, because understanding the modes and controls of all models of this brand is very simple and accessible to everyone.
All the nuances of use are described in the instructions, but it happens that it is difficult for the average person to understand or is missing, for example, when buying used equipment. This article briefly describes the main programs, modes, functions and answers frequently asked questions about how to wash in an LG washing machine.
Synthetic mode in Bosch machines
The manufacturer Bosch does not equip all washing machines with a Synthetics program. Some units have a program for washing mixed fabrics. It will need to be started when rinsing clothes and linen made from artificial fibers.
Modern units from this manufacturer usually have a Synthetic mode. It has its own characteristics that are useful to know about.
Main parameters:
- The water heating rate is from 30 to 40 degrees Celsius.
- The washing time can be changed - the range is from 70 to 140 minutes.
- The spin speed is selected by a person, so you can set any number of revolutions.
- To ensure the best cleaning quality, you will only need to put half of the maximum allowable weight into the drum.
- Rinse is set by default. If necessary, you can install an additional cycle.
The Synthetics program in Bosch machines is easily customizable, so housewives can independently choose the appropriate parameters. When activating the mode, you will have to pay attention to the degree of contamination and quality of synthetic items. You will need to decide what parameters you need to set for the most efficient washing.
Additional functions
Most modern models of automatic machines contain a large set of additional functions that help solve all problems and satisfy the various requirements of housewives.
Delay mode
A convenient way to turn on the washing machine before going to work and take out the finished clothes when you come home in the evening. At the same time, they will not wait for the owner in the drum for several hours, already washed (crumpled and compressed).
It is important to load the detergent completely and set the clock to a delay start mode.
Night
When using the night mode, the sound signal is turned off, as well as the spin cycle, which is noisy and can wake up household members and neighbors.
Features of Siemens washing machines
The manufacturer Siemens does not strive to program its machines in such a way that synthetics are washed carefully and efficiently. Only certain models are equipped with a similar icon. This is important to consider for those people who have a lot of clothes made of artificial fabric.
Program features:
- The water heating temperature is not fixed. You can set different values - from 30 to 60 degrees Celsius.
- The washing will be of high quality if no more than 2.5 kg of synthetic items are loaded into the drum.
- The rinse will start automatically. It is not possible to disable the option. You can add an additional rinse if desired.
- The rotation speed during spinning can be adjusted. The function can even be deactivated.
- On average, the cycle reaches 105 minutes. When configuring custom settings, the time may vary.
This program does not support intensive drying. If you need to clean synthetic clothes without this program, then you can select the Mixed laundry option.
Complex “sports” algorithm
High-quality sportswear today is made from innovative materials. Such things are ideal for training - they do not hinder movements, allow the skin to breathe, and do not interfere with sweating. High-tech fabrics are quite vulnerable, so it is important to study the information on the label - it contains the manufacturer's recommendations for caring for the product.
In most cases, manufacturers allow automatic washing of products, but in a special “Sportswear” mode.
When the mode starts, the water in the tank warms up to a temperature of 30°C. The rotation rate of the drum is low; it often stops altogether, simulating soaking. Spin is provided, but is performed at minimum speed - up to 600 rpm. The default duration of the algorithm is 1 hour 10 minutes, but the time can be adjusted by changing the mode settings.
The duration of the program may vary on different models of LG washing machines. If you need accurate data, check the instructions for the equipment. There is a detailed description of all washing modes.
Samsung washing machine
The Samsung brand almost always adds the Synthetic program. Even inexpensive cars support this mode. The manufacturer recommends choosing it for washing shirts, blouses and shirts that are made of artificial material. You will need to familiarize yourself with the washing parameters to make it easier to decide on the choice of mode.
Main characteristics:
- There is no pre-wash option.
- The temperature reaches 60 degrees Celsius. If necessary, you can reduce the heating to 40 degrees.
- The standard spin speed is 800 rpm. If necessary, the value can be increased to 1200.
- On average, water consumption reaches 50-62 liters.
Again, the manufacturer advises placing no more than 2.5 kg in the machine. In this case, synthetic items will wash much better.
Auxiliary algorithms
Some housewives never use additional functions simply because they do not know what they are intended for. A description of all the main programs and auxiliary algorithms is in the instructions for the LG . Let's look at some of the slot machines' capabilities.
- Biocare. Option to combat complex stains. It starts if there are traces of blood, chocolate stains, or grass on the laundry loaded into the drum.
- Steam cleaning. The function is present in machines equipped with a steam generator. Steam is mixed with water, which ensures the destruction of bacteria and allergens from fabric fibers.
- Hypoallergenic. This option is designed for allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin. The algorithm includes several rinsing cycles to completely remove any remaining powder or gel from the fabric.
- Night wash. Mode suitable for starting in the evening. The drum rotates smoothly, so the machine operates almost silently.
Each machine has its own functionality. To make the most of the machine’s capabilities, it is better to study all the algorithms recorded in the intellect. Then choosing the optimal mode for washing different fabrics will be very simple.

Synthetic mode in Indesit washing machines
The manufacturer Indesit also made sure that almost every machine has the Synthetics program. Modern units even have two types of programs. They have minor differences, but it is important to become familiar with them.
Peculiarities:
- Synthetics 1. Water will heat up to a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. Prewash cannot be activated. In this case, you will be able to activate the additional option “Whitening”. The wash will take 75 minutes. Spinning is performed at 800 rpm.
- Synthetics 2. According to the standard, the water will heat up to 40 degrees. Due to this, the cycle time is reduced to 71 minutes. Otherwise the settings are identical.
Before choosing a particular program, you will need to carefully study its features. In this case, you will be able to wash synthetic items as efficiently as possible.
How to speed up the process
Although automatic machines do not require supervision or additional actions on the part of the owner, everyone dreams of speeding up the process. Here are some effective ways to speed up washing:
- Use delayed start. You can turn on the machine at any time and leave for business or work. The laundry will be ready when you arrive.
- Don't wash one item at a time - pile up laundry for one load instead of 2-3. This will reduce the time required for servicing several washes, and reduce the cost of electricity and water.
- Do not set the upper spin modes or temperatures. This requires additional heating time and prolonged rotation of the drum during squeezing.
- Most powders wash well even in cold water; boiling the laundry is not required.
- Use liquid laundry detergents - things will be clean without additional rinsing.
LG washing machine
Similar devices from the LG brand are equipped with a program that is suitable for synthetic things. It may also be called Everyday Wash. The option is suitable for clothing made from acrylic, nylon and polyamide. Features of the program are that heating reaches only 40 degrees Celsius. Due to this, it is possible to avoid shedding and stretching.
Cycle times may vary depending on the situation. If you do not change the settings, then the wash will last 70 minutes. This mode is convenient for synthetic items, because it does not spoil them and cleans them well.
Synthetics program in the Candy washing machine
The Candy washing machine does not have a special mode designed for synthetics. You can choose other options that will not spoil synthetic clothing. Let's say Super Wash is suitable. It can be used to save time. The cycle will be reduced by 50 minutes, and things will be washed much faster.
In addition, the Sports mode is suitable for artificial fabrics. The Kandy washing machine will wash clothes containing synthetics in warm water. In this case, high temperature is not used, because it will deteriorate the material.
Before you launch the program, you need to clarify what things it is intended for. Synthetic material requires certain indicators. Only in this case will it be possible to avoid damage and clean the fabric thoroughly.
Rules for caring for the device
The machine will last a long time and without problems if you care for it properly:
- install on a perfectly flat horizontal surface - this will eliminate vibration and wear;
- ensure water connection with the required pressure, install the drain hose correctly;
- avoid overloading during washing;
- do not clog the drum and drain hoses with debris or small objects;
- wash items with metal parts in bags;
- use machine detergents.
Between washes, you need to let the machine rest for several hours to prevent overheating and rapid aging.
What preventive maintenance work is required:
- Ensure the safety of the rubber seals, avoid compression and tearing, and wash with a soft sponge.
- Do not use aggressive agents for cleaning the outside and inside, which can damage plastic and rubber.
- Clean powder containers and wash out any remaining detergents.
- After finishing washing, leave the hatch open so that the parts dry in the air and odors and dampness do not accumulate in the body.
- Do not store dirty laundry in the washing machine.
- Regularly clean the casing of debris by removing the bottom panel.
- Check the condition of the water and drain hoses for damage or disconnection.
- You can improve the quality of water coming from your tap water by installing a filter.
- Do not use folk descalers to clean the machine, but only those recommended by the manufacturer (Calgon).
- If there are problems with the water in the tap - low pressure, dirty, sandy or rusty - it is better to postpone the washing or stop it (“Pause”) if it has already started.
