Does Washing Machine Capacity Refer to Dry or Wet Clothes? Here’s Why Your Laundry Might Not Be as Clean as You Think…

Washing machines simplify laundry, but understanding capacity labels like “7kg” or “10kg” is key for optimal performance. These numbers refer to the *dry* weight of clothes, not wet weight. Overloading can strain the motor and drum, affecting cleaning and shortening the machine’s life. Underloading wastes water and energy, while proper loading—about two-thirds of capacity—ensures efficient cleaning.

For the best results:
– Stick to the dry weight limit.
– Mix heavy and light items.
– Leave space for circulation.

Proper loading protects the machine and delivers cleaner laundry, saving on repairs and energy.
