How to load a top load washer without agitator?

Now let’s move on to discussing the issue of how to load the top load washing machine without agitator. As a competent hostess, you probably know that it is important to sort laundry thoroughly before loading it into the washing machine tank. This rule is known to everyone; however, some neglect it from time to time. But such an oversight can lead to clothes damage. Wash light-colored items separately from dark or brightly colored. Sorting by the degree of soiling (baby or adult clothes) and the items’ purpose (underwear or outerwear) is also essential.

To increase the washing act efficiency, experts recommend not loading the drum with only large, voluminous or strictly with small wardrobe items. Try to combine different sized items in one laundry load. This little secret ensures a more thorough and better wash.

And one more recommendation, which is definitely the best life hack for housewives. Try to fill the drum of the washing machine only 1/3 of its actual size. If the device is rated at 8 lbs. of dirty laundry, this does not mean that you can put this load inside and expect a crystal-clear result. This parameter is only an indication of the exact drum capacity. But it is not equal to the laundry amount that will be perfectly washed as a result. Always leave some free space in the washing machine to allow it to thoroughly stir the laundry during washing and rinsing it with clean water at the end. As practice shows, not every housewife is aware of this rule.

Be sure to add the correct detergent for the concrete laundry type and the specified soiling degree. Some washing machines do not have a special detergent compartment, so one needs to add the powder directly to the washing machine tub. It can be liquid powder or capsules. Make sure it is chlorine-free if washing colored or delicate sensitive fabrics. If we are talking about the HE washer, try to give preference to the special detergents that form a small amount of foam. It is worth refusing the detergent, which is intended for washing machines with an agitator, as they produce too much foam.

Low water consumption is registered in washers without an agitator, so it may not be enough to eliminate excess foam. The result is a reduced wash quality. Therefore, pay attention to both how you load clothes into the machine and what detergent you plan to use.  And, of course, one cannot help noting the obvious convenience of the loading linen into the top-load washer. If you hesitate to choose between the front or top-load washers, keep in mind that when loading the top-load washing device, you do not have to bend over, squat down.
