1. Use the right wash cycle

Use the heavy-duty or bulky items cycle for thicker fabrics, ensuring effective cleaning. Oceanus Wave Drum technology creates a stronger water flow for thorough yet gentle cleaning on fabrics.

2. Don't overload

Give heavy winter items room to move in the drum. Overloading can prevent proper cleaning and may damage your machine. Take advantage of larger capacity machines like 8-10 kg models.

3. Pre-treat stains

Use the machine's built-in heater technology to tackle tough winter stains. Many modern washers can remove up to 106 types of stains, even those as old as 72 hours.

4. Use cold water when possible

While hot water can be necessary for some items, cold water is often sufficient and better for preserving fabric quality. Look for machines with efficient heating systems that provide uniform heating when hot water is needed.

5. Add extra rinse cycles

Winter clothing often needs thorough rinsing to remove all detergent residue. Use the machine's fuzzy control feature to automatically adjust water levels and rinse cycles based on the load size and fabric type.

6. Dry items properly

After washing, use the tub dry function if available to remove excess moisture. For items that can be machine dried, use a low heat setting to avoid shrinkage. Always check care labels for proper drying instructions.

7. Clean the lint filter

Heavy winter fabrics tend to produce more lint. Use the machine's bionic magic filter or dual filter system to effectively capture lint. Clean the filter regularly to maintain washing and draining efficiency.
