Where to pour liquid powder in the Atlant washing machine?

Where to pour liquid powder in the Atlant washing machine Delicate fabrics, woolen items and down jackets cannot be washed with dry detergents - the granules do not dissolve well in cold water, penetrate the fibers, destroy the structure of the material and spoil it. Therefore, it is recommended to pour liquid powder into the washing machine, which is much softer and more effective. However, not everyone knows how to use liquid products correctly: where to pour, what, when and how much. We suggest not to experiment, but to deal with helium concentrates point by point.

Is there a special department?

For most Atlant washing machines, the detergent dispenser has three compartments. The first, largest, is intended for dry powder. From the second, which is smaller, the detergent is taken when the pre-wash is turned on. The third, central and smallest, is allocated for additional liquid formulations - conditioners, rinses and stain removers.

There is no separate compartment for liquid detergents, so many users have a question: where to pour the concentrate. There are three options, but not all of them are desirable or effective.

Instead of air conditioning. Logically, liquid products should be poured into the liquid compartment, but this is not the case. The fact is that the central cuvette is used by the washing machine only during the rinsing stage. It turns out that the laundry will be spun in clean water during the main wash, and rinsed, on the contrary, in soapy water. There is also a problem with the dosage - the compartment is very small.
Instead of dry powder. Some people pour liquid into the main wash compartment.The volume is sufficient, the product is taken out during washing, but there is a significant “but”: before the water appears, the gel immediately flows into the drum and, getting on the fabric, spoils things.
Straight into the drum. If you can’t operate through the tray, there is only one way left - pour the liquid directly into the drum. The main thing is to do it correctly and prevent the concentrate from getting on things.

Those who value the condition of their linen should choose the third option. In this case, we proceed like this:

measure out the required amount of gel, focusing on the type of items and instructions;
open the hatch door;
pour liquid into the drum;
as soon as the liquid flows down through the holes in the drum, pour out a mug of clean water (it is necessary to wash off the concentrate from the surface);
turn the drum a few revolutions to give the gel time to dissolve;
load laundry into the drum;
close the hatch door;
if necessary, add rinse aid to the tray;
turn on the washing mode.

Do not pour detergent onto laundry - without water, the concentrate will “corrode” the fabric, discoloring and damaging the fibers.

The main advantage of the “drum version” is that direct contact between things and the concentrate is excluded. However, there are also a few disadvantages. Firstly, when water is collected, a little of the liquid remaining in the tank is drained into the sewer, and along with it part of the product. Secondly, some programs in Atlanta involve gradual consumption of powder, in 2-3 batches, but in this case everything is poured in at once.

The ideal way out of the situation is to purchase a special container for dosing the powder. We are talking about plastic cups or balls that are filled with product and placed in a drum.There are holes on the surface of such devices that ensure gradual leaching of the helium solution during the washing process. This allows you to solve two problems at once.

How much product should I pour?

Having decided where, into the powder receptacle or into the drum, to pour the detergent, we solve the second question: how much? If with an already proven composition you can act “by eye”, then with a new one this will not work. It is better not to experiment, but to act according to the instructions the first few times.

A few recommendations will help you decide on the dosage of the product:

carefully read all the information on the packaging of the product;
correlate the amount of product and the weight of things loaded into the drum;
when choosing a double rinse program, it is better to pour in more powder;
When washing on a fast cycle, the amount of gel should be reduced;
if the fabric increases foaming, then the dosage is reduced by 1.5-2 times.

Manufacturers claim that helium concentrates dissolve faster, are not afraid of cold water and interact gently with fabric. Another “plus” in efficiency is that concentrated liquids are consumed more slowly than bulk “competitors”. However, everything is debatable, since even among dry powders there are brands with an active natural composition that act carefully and effectively. It is better to try it personally and choose your leaders.
