What is the purpose of the third drawer in the washing machine?

Do you know? You may be surprised, few people know its true purpose.

Imagine having to wash and wring a winter jacket or long jeans by hand. Fortunately, the washing machine now does this for us. All we have to do is put the clothes in the drum, set the appropriate program and add detergent. And here can be a problem.

Most washing machines have three drawers. This is not much considering the number of programs that the device has available. And yet it turns out that many people have no idea what the different sections are for.

Meanwhile, it is very what matters is what we put in each of them.

Most people use washing powder or liquid detergent and fabric softener to make clothes soft and smell nice.

So why are there three drawers in the washing machine if we only use two products? Have you ever wondered what the third part is for?

This drawer is intended for prewash.

The problem arises if into it you inject the powder. The result of such a mistake is incomplete or unwashed and hard, rough clothes. Not only would they be uncomfortable to wear, but they could also cause skin problems, rashes and itching.

But if it did pour the softener into the powder compartment, only this one would not perform its function because it would be completely washed out of the fabric.

As you can see, sections are important.

You will also find the answer to this question in the instructions for use of your washing machine. But we can assume that many people did not even look there, or if they did, they no longer remember what they read.
