🧺 How to choose a washing machine and make it last for years: A practical guide
Looking for a durable, efficient washing machine at the best price in Malaga? At Jaime Appliances, we'll help you make the best choice for your home and keep your washing machine in perfect condition for many years to come.
✅ What to consider when choosing a washing machine?
Before you buy, consider these key aspects:
1. Load capacity
-
🏠 For households of 1-2 people: 6-7 kg
-
👨👩👧👦 Families: 8-10 kg
-
🧺 Large laundry or sheets: +10 kg
2. Energy efficiency
Look for washing machines with an A rating or higher. In the long run, you'll save on electricity and water.
3. Spin speed
The higher the speed (e.g., 1,200-1,400 rpm), the drier the clothes will be. Ideal if you don't have a dryer.
🛠️ How to extend the life of your washing machine
A well-maintained washing machine can last more than 10 years. Follow these tips:
✔️ Clean the detergent drawer once a month
Prevents mold buildup or soap scum from clogging ducts.
✔️ Wash with vinegar or cleaning tablet every month
At 60°C or higher to remove limescale, grease and bacteria from the drum.
✔️ Leave the door open after each wash
Prevents bad odors and the appearance of mold.
✔️ Check the filters every 3-6 months
Remove any accumulated lint, coins, or hair that could damage the motor or pump.
