Add your dirty clothes and Surf excel detergent to the drum of the machine.
Fill the drum with water at the temperature you require. Consult the machine’s instructions, because these will tell you how much water to add.
Perform the ‘Wash’ cycle – bear in mind a large load will need more time to wash than a smaller one.
Once the ‘Wash’ cycle has finished, drain the dirty water using the hose. Refill the drum with fresh water. Switch on the ‘Rinse’ cycle. A fully automatic machine will do all of this for you.
After the ‘Rinse’ cycle your clothes should be completely clean. You now need to get the clothes as dry as possible by spinning them. A fully automatic machine will do this for you, but if you have a semi-automatic machine, you now need to transfer your clothes from the washing drum into the other drum – again, the size of the load will determine how long you need to spin them for.
With all types of machine, once the spin cycle is finished, you should remove the clothes as soon as possible and hang them up to dry.
