*So tell me - how often do you use quick wash?!* - Saumya

Always a delight to watch your videos.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Thank you 😀

I generally use quick wash for less soiled clothes, but I put more clothes than 2kg as mentioned the limit for quick wash in the booklet. I use less detergent whenever I use quick wash option. So my question is, is it okay to wash more than 2kg load for a 6.5 kg washing machine? Provided my clothes are less soiled and I use less detergent as well. I wanted to clarify will it damage my washing machine if I use quick wash for more than 2kg load?

Hi, thank you so much for such an informative video.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Super, thanks for sharing your experience, Dev!

Very well chosen topic.Thanks ! It really help me

[@merinmathew6211]

Hey Saumya…. Well chosen topic! Would you consider going through all the modes of washing that a washing machine offers? And I’ve been reading that fabric softeners aren’t good for clothes. Would you like to explore this pls? Thanks again for all your intellectually delivered videos. x

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Merin, thanks for the idea. Will definitely explore that.

We use to set quick wash cycle in Bosch which is typically 15-20 min default and we cannot see temp value and rpm's on the dashboard. But manually we always set temp 40 and rpm 1200 though max is 1400 rpm but can't select 1400 😜Time increased by just 15 minutes and final time is between 30-40 minutes. Bosch has enabled the option to choose the temp at max but not the max rpm for quick wash.

Hi Santosh! Thanks for sharing your experience! What's your key reason for using the quick wash instead of a regular cycle?

[@AP-jr6zr]

Do share yourviews on oil heaters Which amongst them is the best efficiency wise and price wise Also which is better 9 fin, 11 fin or 12/13 fin?

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Anusha, I'll have to take a look at this. Will add to my list :)

[@AP-jr6zr]

@@TheGrapevineIndia Thank you ever so much It is a much needed appliance forus in North India but so confusing too as to which brand and how many fins should it have to be effective

[@arnprasad]

HI.. Thanks for all the informative videos. My Bosch 6.5kg machine has problems and the repair guy did part repair and said we can use the 15 min cycle till he gets the rest of the spares. So we currently soak the clothes in a bucket and put them in the washing machine after an hour and use the 15 min cycle. Isn't this a better option for everyone? soaking clothes is definitely extra effort but then if its compensated by lesser use of water, electricity and time - a win win situation I would assume. what do you think ? post the spin cycle, I dont find much of a difference between a normal cycle spin and a 15 min cycle spin.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Prasad! Well, it is a bit extra effort to soak and manually move the clothes - which could cause a mess. The shorter cycle is useful in some cases - esp when you want to be more gentle, with less heat or don’t want a spin to your clothes.

Can't thank you enough for these tips. I am a medico and longer wash cycles are something i cant always afford due to time constraints. I prefer washing everyday considering the disinfection scenario now. Pls help me in choosing a compact washer dryer for a family of 4 for a place with power cuts. How about the one you are using? Will it work for me ? Regards

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Dr. Durba! Glad you are finding it useful! I recommend a slightly larger size for a family of 4. The one I have has a 5kg dryer only - so ideal only for family of 2-3. I recommend this one for you - amzn.to/3FlM63K. I find the dryer capability very very useful. Have not hand dried a single cloth since I bought this.

I have lg front load washing machine 🌟 Quick 30 + intensive (temp 40c) = 60minutes totally so its effectively cleaning coloured clothes, 🌟 For whites i use cotton eco mode - 3 hours (temp 60c) perfectly cleans white clothes

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Abushek! Thanks for sharing! Good tip on the whites! I also use a higher temperature for the whites. For colored clothes - does a 40C temperature not discolor it?

[@abushekakbar5603]

@@TheGrapevineIndia ofcource it fades, what to do sowmiya iam a medical professional so atleast i wanna wash my daily wear clothes at 40c along with heavy dose of dettol

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Yeah. Try using some laundry bags atleast for dark clothes and wash inside out if you have to use high temperature. Hats off to you doctors during this period. I’m impacted by covid right now.

Hi Saumya.. I have a top load LG washing machine.. I think behind the drum there is a lot of sludge accumulated.. Do you have any idea how to clean that.. Also isint it the case with most washing machines used over 5 yrs?

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Rashmi, yeah it does get accumulated over time. I recommend you to get a one time cleaning done through a professional agency or from LG.

Any tips or guide how to keep the washing machine clean as dry after finishes washing

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Sundar, always keep washing machine door open after wash for 15-20 min atleast to ensure moisture residue is gone. This avoids mould from developing

[@sundarvikram830]

Ohhkk .. useful one to follow, thanks a lot 🤝

[@ovikahane242]

My washing machine is lg front load..I use quick mode with pre wash+60 degrees temp+1200 rpm spin total 54 min cycle is it ok...

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Ovi - what's your key reason to use quick wash? If you are using delicates or dark color clothes at 60 degree temperature - it could get discolored. So you need to be careful about that. Otherwise - it's totally fine!

[@RedRose-nc9qw]

I use quick wash cycle every day along with prewash of 11 minutes. So total time is 30 plus 11 equals 41 minutes.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi! What's the regular wash time? Is it for being more gentle on clothes?

[@RedRose-nc9qw]

My top load samsung fully automatic takes minimum 1 hour for quick wash... I don't like this feature of this machine.... Can I reduce this time... In my family there are Whirlpool and IFB automatic machines... They take half an hour for quick wash.. I'm regreting after buying the Samsung one

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Nishant, does it not say 15" quick wash? But that's normally recommended only for less than 2kg load.

[@seekthelight9404]

Ummm i have seen another video which says quick wash uses more water and more energy 🥴🥴. Whom to believe? He seemed more experience or perhaps it depends on the machine.

😊 always trust logic and the manuals.
