Washing Machines are particularly forgiving beings. Ever pressed the wrong button, put in the washing liquid into the powder place, or accidentally broke of the handle of the door? These things happen all too frequently in NYUAD laundry rooms, but most of the times the clothes will come out clean regardless of all the mistakes that were made. It almost seems too simple. But have you ever noticed all those buttons and control knobs at the top front side of the machine? And do you know how to use them? After checking the settings on washing machines that were running in the laundry room in A5C, I noticed that without exception, all were on the standard setting (cotton). That probably means that most people haven’t paid further attention to all the magical possibilities that the washing machine offers, and instead simply put in their clothes, threw in some detergent, and pressed on start. That’s understandable, as all the different settings can seem overwhelming and confusing. What is the difference between Easy Care and Easy Care+ ? Is the purpose of the Eco button to make me feel less guilty about my CO2 emissions or does it actually make a difference? Which settings and temperatures should be used for jeans, silk, linen, cotton, synthetics, or what if I am too lazy to sort them and put everything together? In light of all these questions, most people simply go with the standard setting, and the interaction stays at a minimum. Don’t be one of them.
