Conditioner where to pour the conditioner in the washing machine? It is essential for laundry, softens the fabric when washing, clothes do not get dirty as quickly as with normal washing.

How to use and where to pour conditioner when washing in the machine?
The conditioner is added directly into the washing machine together with the normal powder. Some housewives use conditioner every time they do a load of laundry, some add it from time to time, and, of course, there are those who don't add conditioner at all.
So, let's say you're using conditioner in your washer for the first time, but where do you pour it? When? Before the wash or during the program? Let's figure it out.
In the first case, the tray for powder and other products is almost always located on the left, rarely on the right.
In the second case, the compartment is located on the inside of the cover of the machine. Usually the cuvette trays have three compartments of different sizes and sometimes differ in color.
- The first and largest compartment in the tray is for granular powder or liquid detergent. This compartment is labeled compartment 2 or II, or B. This is where we put the main detergent for washing laundry.
In the compartment with a choice of labels: 1, I, A we put the prewash or soak. This part of the tray differs from the first one in size, it is much smaller.
- For the conditioner, the smallest compartment with the image of a flower is suitable, there may also be a marking: 3, III, C. Sometimes this part of the tray is marked by the manufacturer in blue. To ensure that the product is not washed away with water during washing, the container is removed from the tray.
When and where to put the conditioner
So, we have figured out where to pour the conditioner, now it is necessary to understand when.
The easiest way is to add conditioner at the very beginning of washing. Load the laundry, pour the powder and the necessary amount of the rinse aid into the compartment allocated for each.
Don't mix them up! Otherwise you would have to wash everything again. And that's about 46 more liters of water.
There are cases when the washing has already started, but you forgot to add conditioner. There is a way out: add the agent just before rinsing the laundry.
For such cases, be sure to use a separate container for detergents. There is no point in pouring conditioner into the drum before washing, it will simply wash out with water and there will be no effect.

There is another option, how to determine where to pour the product. Pour the rinse aid into the compartment and run the wash without laundry, if after running the water the agent washed out of the compartment, then you made a mistake - the section for the powder. And if the conditioner remained in place, then you made the right choice.
That's how you can experimentally determine where to pour the conditioner in the washing machine.
