1. Use Gentle Cycle

2. Separate Colors

Sort your pooja outfits by color before washing. Larger capacity machines allow you to wash multiple color-sorted loads efficiently, preventing color bleeding between garments and maintaining vibrancy.

3. Pre-treat Stains

For stubborn stains on pooja outfits, use the "Stain" program if available. Dual Spray technology helps remove tough stains effectively before the main wash cycle, ensuring your outfits come out spotless.

4. Use Cold Water

Wash pooja outfits in cold water to prevent shrinkage and color fading. Cold wash options are gentle on fabrics while still providing a thorough clean, helping preserve the quality of your special garments.

5. Add Fabric Softener

Use a mild fabric softener to keep pooja outfits soft and fragrant. Dedicated fabric softener dispensers ensure even distribution during the rinse cycle, leaving your garments feeling fresh and comfortable.

6. Avoid Overloading

Don't overload the machine to ensure proper cleaning. Ample drum space allows clothes to move freely, ensuring a thorough wash without cramming and potentially damaging delicate fabrics.

7. Use the Refresh Cycle

For lightly worn pooja outfits, use the "Refresh" cycle if available. This quick 15-30 minute cycle removes odors and minimizes creases without a full wash, perfect for freshening up barely worn items.

8. Air Dry

After washing, air dry your pooja outfits to maintain their shape and color. Some machines offer a "Tub Dry" function to remove excess water, making air drying quicker and more efficient while preserving fabric quality.
