What program to wash a towel in an LG washing machine?

To keep towels soft, absorbent, and long-lasting, proper washing is necessary. You may be wondering which setting on your LG washing machine gets the best results when washing towels.

Different settings are included with LG washing machines to accommodate different kinds of laundry. The degree of cleanliness and freshness that your towels retain can be significantly altered by selecting the appropriate program.

We’ll walk you through choosing the best wash cycle for your towels in an LG washing machine in this post, so they stay nice and fluffy.

The algorithm is selected based on the fabric of the towels

Towel washing cannot be done in a single mode. The explanation is straightforward: because bath and kitchen towels are made of different materials, they need to be treated differently. When determining the cycle parameters—the amount of heating, the spin force, and the cleaning time—you must start with the exact kind and color of the fabric base.

The majority of bath towels, including terry, bamboo, and velor, are best cleaned gently, with a minimum spin of 600–800 revolutions and cold water up to 30–40 degrees. Comparable settings are made when modal is loaded into the drum. When washing a cotton, linen, or microfiber product, water can be heated to 60 degrees. Consequently, "Cotton Fast," "Cotton Eco," "Synthetics," "Fast 30," and "Delicate" are appropriate modes.

Examine the label of a towel before washing it; the manufacturer has provided the best care instructions there!

Kitchen towels are typically made of thick fabric and are frequently soiled. These are typically waffle, cotton, and linen fabric; these are affordable and practical choices for daily use. In this instance, you should consider the product’s color:

• bright colored fabrics – temperature up to 40 degrees and spin up to 800 revolutions;
• dark and black towels – heating up to 30 degrees and minimum spin;
• white – 60 degrees, 1000 and higher revolutions.

It is advised to use high-temperature programs in order to clean kitchen towels free of blood or grease. "Cotton," "Cotton Fast," "Cotton Eco," and "Synthetics" are a few of these.

The correct detergent should be chosen in addition to the mode. It is advised to use liquid or gel-like ingredients instead of regular powder, especially when washing in cold water. Dry granules are worse when they wash out of the pile and dissolve more slowly. Particles of powder seep into the fibers, become lodged there, and eventually turn white when they dry. Using gels from reputable brands would be the best course of action:

• Laska;
• Tide;
• Losk;
• Ariel;
• Molecola;
• Frosh;
• PROFline;
• Persil;

It is preferable to use one of the following specific gel concentrates when washing children’s towels: Nasha Mama, Sinergetic, Mepsi, Cotico, Sonett, or Umka. This composition is more natural than its adult counterparts, containing fewer harsh surfactants and bleaches.

When adding conditioner, use caution. It has been demonstrated that using rinse aid frequently smoothes terry cloth, which reduces its absorbent capacity. It is best not to use it excessively, and to add a nice scent, use fragrance-containing detergents or fragrances altogether.

A difficult stain on a towel

It is best to use a contemporary stain remover as soon as possible if a tough stain is applied to a towel. Persol bleach is another less expensive option. The most important thing is to pay close attention to the product’s dosage and carefully read the instructions.

A third option is to use homemade recipes in case you don’t have time to visit the store to buy stain remover. Thus, a stain is eliminated from a waffle or terry cloth by boiling or soaking homemade ingredients. Vegetable oil is thought to be the most basic method. The guidelines are as follows:

• boil water;
• fill a basin with boiling water;
• dissolve half a glass of soda, a tablespoon of powder, 50 ml of oil and bleach in water;
• dip the stained towel in the solution;
• after cooling, remove the cloth and rinse thoroughly;
• wash in the machine;
• dry.

There is a microwave cleaning method for users with more experience. It is essential to "go over" the soiled areas with dishwashing gel and soda after wetting a towel and soaping it with laundry soap. Next, we wrap the soapy cloth in polyethylene and, without tying it, heat it for ninety seconds at 450–500 degrees Celsius in the oven. If the product does not begin to heat up, repeat the process. Next, give it a machine wash or a hand rinse.

Boiling is the third choice. The following is the order of events:

• boil water in a large saucepan and leave it on the stove;
• add soap, soda, silicate glue, peroxide and ammonia to the water;
• lower the towel in the boiling solution and “boil” them for about 15 minutes;
• take it out, transfer it to a basin with clean cold water;
• after rinsing, dry.

Boiling colored towels is not recommended as it may cause the fabric to fade or shed.

Another effective stain remover is a gruel made of boiling water and mustard. After applying the resulting mass to deeply embedded dirt, the napkin is covered with plastic and left overnight. Rinse and dry after.

Softening the fabric of towels

Towels lose their initial softness with time. Hard water, low-quality powders, poor maintenance, boiling and ironing too frequently are the causes. The terry surface gets hard as a result of all this damage to the fibers.

To make the fabric softer, you must:

• turn on the double rinse function when washing;
• soak in a solution with table vinegar;
• choose liquid concentrates on a natural basis (without aggressive substances);
• use softeners for hard water.

Towels are negatively impacted by bleaching as well, particularly when boiling. Refusing them and using mild stain removers is preferable.

To keep your towels soft, clean, and long-lasting, select the appropriate program when washing them in an LG washing machine. The particular settings you choose can have a significant impact on how well your towels are maintained.

Choose a cycle that will efficiently remove dirt and bacteria without causing any damage to the fabric by using warm water and a moderate spin speed. Usually, the best option is to use the towel or cotton setting on your machine, if it exists. Remember to use the recommended amount of detergent and refrain from filling the machine to the brim.

By following these instructions, you can make sure your towels remain fluffy, absorbent, and fresh so you can enjoy using them every time you reach for one.

It is recommended to use the "Cotton" or "Towels" program when washing towels in an LG washing machine. This program offers a longer cycle and a higher water temperature to effectively remove dirt and bacteria, leaving your towels clean, soft, and smelling fresh.
