Baby Clothes Function in LG Washing Machine

As we know, children's clothes require special care, so modern washing machines almost always have cycles specifically designed for children's clothing. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that cycle settings vary from model to model, so before throwing all your baby's clothes into the drum at once, you need to understand what the manufacturer means by children's clothing and what cycle settings are used in the "Baby Clothes" cycle in your LG washing machine.

Description of this algorithm

According to the LG washing machine manual, the main feature of the children's clothing wash cycle is a thorough and lengthy rinse in large volumes of water, which ensures that the detergent is completely washed out of the fabric fibers. During the wash cycle, the detergent breaks down into more active enzymes, allowing it to remove difficult stains common on clothes of babies of all ages.

Main parameters of the program:

• time - 140 minutes, this is one of the longest programs due to thorough rinsing;
• the spin speed can be set independently from 0 to 800 rpm;
• The laundry is washed in hot water, with a temperature range of 60 to 95 degrees Celsius. During the wash cycle, the door glass does not become too hot, remaining slightly warm.
• The maximum load is 6 kg, but due to the large amount of water during washing, it is recommended to load 3-4 kg of laundry at a time.

You can wash clothes with dry loose powder, either regular or specially formulated for children's clothing. According to user reviews, this feature removes even large amounts of powder and rinses well. You can also use fabric softener or a pre-wash detergent.

During the spin cycle, the machine is quiet and barely moves, and everything spins well, but the lower the speed, the wetter the laundry will be.

Important! The laundry is washed using reverse drum movements, ensuring the laundry moves smoothly throughout the cycle, and changing the water several times.

Other LG SM modes

LG washing machines are popular, in part, because they offer a variety of useful features and programs. These include those that are used regularly in everyday life, while others are less popular. According to surveys, homeowners prefer several programs.

• Express program. The instructions state that it's designed for washing lightly soiled items. Clothes are washed in cold or cool water (30-40 degrees Celsius) for just 30 minutes. This program is equally suitable for lightly soiled whites and colored fabrics.
• Delicate cycle. Washing time: 1 hour. This program is designed for washing delicate fabrics and garments made from them, especially silk shirts, tulle, women's blouses, and lace. Wash garments in cold water at 30°C (86°F) without spinning.
• Cotton and Cotton Eco. Both modes are designed for washing the most popular, durable cotton items that can withstand high temperatures. The Cotton program offers temperatures from 40 to 95 degrees Celsius, while the Eco program offers temperatures of 60 degrees Celsius. The standard Cotton program takes two hours to wash, while the Eco program takes one and a half hours. Both white and colored cotton can be washed. The reversible drum motion combined with the high temperature effectively removes any type of stain.
• Everyday wash. This cycle is suitable for synthetic and blended fabrics. The wash time is 110 minutes, and the water temperature is 40 degrees Celsius. Ideal for any synthetic garments that require little care.

In addition to these modes, LG washing machines offer a variety of interesting programs that, if properly explored, could be useful to any homemaker. Let's look at a couple of unusual options.

• Hypoallergenic Wash. This cycle is quite similar to the "Children's Clothing" cycle. Its purpose is to remove as many allergens as possible—such as powder enzymes, dust residue, wool fibers, dust mites, and so on. The cycle is washed at 60 degrees Celsius. It's suitable for children's clothing, bedding, and underwear.
• "Refresh." This mode is designed for items that don't need washing but need a refresh because they've been sitting in the closet for a long time. The program lasts just 20 minutes and is suitable for any fabric. The machine uses steam technology to smooth out wrinkles and give the fabric a presentable appearance.

Therefore, with proper care, you can wash almost anything in your LG washing machine, and the results will be excellent. Just be sure to read the instructions carefully before use.
