Pre-wash in an LG washing machine

Pre-wash in an LG washing machine Most modern front-wheel drive washing machines feature a prewash function, activated by a dedicated button. Prewash in LG washing machines is no different from similar programs found in other brands and can significantly improve laundry care. This applies even to heavily soiled items, which is why this feature is so highly valued by homemakers. Let's take a closer look at how this mode works and how long it takes.

How will the machine work with this function?

Let's start by explaining how to use this useful algorithm. If you need to improve the washing quality of a specific cycle, you must first select a compatible program, such as "Cotton," and activate the "Prewash" button. After doing this, the light next to the prewash icon will light up, and the wash time will be extended.

This option always adds 17 minutes to the wash cycle, regardless of the selected wash mode. During these 17 minutes, the machine will use a special method to soften stubborn stains in clothing, somewhat similar to a standard soak. This option can truly be considered a modern equivalent of soaking, except that with a regular soak, dirty clothes lie motionless in a container of hot water, and during the pre-wash, the drum of the device slowly rocks back and forth and rotates slowly to improve the penetration of the detergent into the fabric fibers. The final difference is the fact that this function uses a lot of water, either preheated to the temperature selected by the washing machine owner, or not heated at all. prewash LG F1056MD

Let's list the washing programs compatible with the pre-wash mode, using the LG F1056MD as an example. This extensive list includes the following modes:

Cotton;
Cotton Fast;
Synthetics;
Baby clothes;
Gentle boiling;
BIO care.

This feature is therefore compatible with up to six washing modes. It's important to note that for this additional mode to function properly, you must add detergent not only to the detergent compartment marked with the Roman numeral I, but also to the additional detergent drawer marked with the Roman numeral II.

A real-life example of how the function works

For those users who haven't yet understood what prewash is and how much it can help them, we'll give a concrete example of how to use this useful feature. This is a real-life example from an ordinary family, which everyone can understand.

A preschooler's pajamas were seriously damaged by cherry juice, but washing them alone in a 5.5-kilogram machine was simply impractical. To save water and energy, several adult light-colored T-shirts, shirts, sweatpants, and a few handkerchiefs were added to the drum along with the children's clothes. All of these went into the LG F1056MD washing machine along with some "Ushasty Nyan" baby detergent. baby clothes in SM LG

Detergent was added to both compartments for household chemicals according to all the rules, items were loaded into the drum, except for the decision to forgo fabric softener. The family settled on the Baby Clothes cycle, which, along with the Super Rinse function, takes 114 minutes, uses an 800 rpm spin and a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. This means that with the pre-wash option, the cycle time has increased to 131 minutes.

The result was beyond praise – the cherry juice stains completely disappeared from the children's clothes. As for the adult clothes, they also came out predictably clean. Remarkably, such results were achieved without even using alcohol to pre-treat the cherry stains.

With the same input data, but without using the pre-wash mode, the cherry juice stains did not come off the clothes.

Therefore, the pre-wash option is not just useful, but truly indispensable. It can fully replace traditional soaking of clothes, making many stains a thing of the past.
