Intensive soak in Samsung washing machines

While some tackle stubborn stains manually, spending hours washing and risking damaging the fabric, others take a more modern approach and opt for intensive soaking in Samsung washing machines. This effective option allows you to effortlessly tackle even the most stubborn stains. Judging by user reviews, this feature is useful, necessary, and effective. Now let's figure out how it works.

Activation and operation of the function

Samsung recently introduced the Intensive Soak program, a technology that makes even heavily soiled clothes clean with minimal effort. Now you don't have to scrub away stubborn stains, experiment with stain removers, or wait 2-4 hours—the washing machine handles the job quickly, efficiently, and automatically.

With intensive soaking in Samsung washing machines, items are soaked in whipped active foam, thanks to ecobubble technology.

The soaking program is started by pressing the "Bubble Soak" button. To understand what it is and how it works, it's worth following the main steps of this program.

• The first stage is detergent impregnation. After the user places the soiled item in the drum and activates the intensive soak cycle, the ecobubble generator (developed by Samsung) transforms the detergent into active foam. Through the holes, the foam mixture penetrates the fabric structure and begins to gently break down stains from within.
• The second stage is a mini-wash. A small amount of water is added, and the drum is spun at low speed for a short time, after which the detergent dissolves more thoroughly and becomes more active.
• The third stage is the actual soaking. The garment is left to soak in bubbles of the well-dissolved detergent. The foam penetrates deep into the fabric fibers, completely dislodging the dirt from the material.
• The fourth stage is repeated spinning. The drum rotates periodically, allowing the foam to "cover" the entire item.

Ecobubble significantly increases the effectiveness of laundry detergent or gel, as the bubbles remove dirt faster, with maximum gentleness and care. Thanks to foam and periodic drum rotation, the intensive soak feature in Samsung machines helps remove even the most stubborn stains, such as blood, red wine, grass, or coffee.

You can vary the soaking time depending on the soil level of the item. A standard 30-40 minute cycle is usually sufficient. Just remember to add detergent to both compartments of the detergent drawer. After pre-cleaning, you can easily start the main wash, which will smoothly transition to rinsing and spinning.

Programs to help

After intensive soaking, the item is sent to the main wash to completely remove dirt. However, for gentle and high-quality cleaning, it's important to choose the right secondary wash program. Luckily, on the dashboard of the cars Samsung modes are indicated not by icons, but by clear words.

Most washing machines have the following options:

• Cotton - suitable for white or colored linen made from the same material, and washing is ensured by a high temperature of up to 95 degrees, maximum spin and a cycle duration of up to 3 hours;
• synthetics – selected for synthetic fabrics, continues for 2 hours at a temperature of up to 60 degrees and high-speed spin;
• delicate – for fragile and delicate fabrics that can be washed in less than an hour in water heated to 30-40 degrees and with minimal spinning;
• hand – practically no different from the delicate program: 40 degrees, gentle spin, generous rinse;
• wool – the mode is based on gentle and careful washing, so the water is heated to 30 degrees, the motor accelerates smoothly, and the cycle lasts only 50 minutes;
• Children's - diapers and undershirts are washed at a temperature of 60-80 degrees to completely destroy bacteria, plus a multi-stage rinse is required to wash out the powder from the fibers (this mode is also suitable for allergy sufferers);

The "Children's clothing" setting is also recommended for washing by people prone to allergic reactions.

• fast - the advantage is the accelerated wash, which lasts about 15-29 minutes (only for lightly soiled items, since complex stains will not be washed out in cold water and in a short period of time);
• daily – a special program for everyday items, underwear, pajamas, dressing gowns (gentle washing prevents clothes from wearing out quickly and losing their original appearance);
• Intensive Eco is another fast mode, but with improved washing quality thanks to special technology (the water temperature remains low, the cycle is short, but the speed does not affect the result);
• Eco Buble – an option that uses a built-in generator to mix water with air and detergent, delivering active foam to the drum (thanks to the oxygen base, the powder becomes much more effective, penetrates deeper into the fibers, and removes dirt from fabric faster);
• outerwear - included when washing items made from water-repellent materials (thanks to increased foaming, items are not only washed, but also retain their protective properties);
• spin – starts if the items are not wrung out enough after the main wash (takes 4-5 minutes depending on the selected speed);
• drain – can be turned on additionally if a breakdown occurs or the drum needs to be urgently emptied;
• rinse + spin – selected when items were not rinsed sufficiently after the main wash, and there are stains or an unpleasant odor left (the program lasts no more than 20 minutes);
• Self-cleaning drum is an option that makes washing machine maintenance easier, as it includes a cycle for automatically cleaning the drum of fungus and germs (this takes an hour and a half at a temperature of 70 degrees).

With Samsung's Intensive Soak feature, you can forget about hand washing and trust the cleaning of your clothes to active foam.. This approach will allow you to remove even the most difficult stains faster, more effectively, and more gently.
