Another washing machine puzzle is solved. We show you what the additional flap in the detergent compartment is really useful for.
The washing machine is and remains a mystery for me. I actually only use the standard programs, put my powder in the detergent compartment and that's it. I keep my fingers from special programs or functions.
But the household appliance shows again and again that it has a lot more to offer. Hidden functions, secret flaps, ... somehow new things are always uncovered.
This also shows content creatorflorganized, who has already published numerous videos on the topics of household and order on Tikkok. He has now found out or explains to us what the additional flap in the detergent compartment is that have some models. So of course I didn't know.
What is the additional flap for?
With some washing machine models there is an additional flap in the laundry compartment. This has loudflorganizedtwo functions.
Sometimes there is a numbered scale on the flap. Once the flap is folded down, you can measure how much liquid detergent you put in the compartment. So it helps to find the right dosage for the detergent.
However, there is another function. And it has to do with the prewash. If you want to wash your laundry with a pre -wash, the folded flap ensures that the detergent for the main wash does not run directly into the washing machine.
The water between front and main laundry is changed so that fresh water is available for the main laundry. However, if the detergent had already been used up with the prewash, there would be no longer any more for the main wash. Therefore, the flap should always be folded down if you set the front wash on your washing machine. You only need to do the whole thing if your liquid detergent uses. This is not necessary for detergent in powder form.

Why do you need a pre -wash?
Pre -wash does not have to be carried out at every wash. With heavily soiled laundry, this is recommended. The pre -waswashed can better solve heavy dirt.
Even with sweaty sports clothing, priority makes sense, because the main laundry is often not enough to destroy all the foul -smelling bacteria and germs.
