Basically, the modes will differ according to the following criteria:
1. Temperature range for washing (from 30°-90°).
2. Drum revolutions
Basically, the modes will differ according to the following criteria:
1. Temperature range for washing (from 30°-90°).
To choose the right temperature at which you will wash your clothes in the washing machine, follow the following scheme:

in cold water, that is, up to 30 degrees, wash silk and woolen items, thin delicate underwear, lace items;
Also, clothes made from mixed fabrics, if they contain wool or silk, and items made from artificial silk are washed in cold water;
It is recommended to choose a temperature of 30-40 degrees for washing jeans so that they do not fade or lose their shape; this temperature is also suitable for washing synthetic down jackets;
At a temperature of 40 degrees, lightly soiled laundry, colored cotton and synthetic items are washed.
Some types of synthetics are washed at a higher temperature – up to 50 degrees, these include nylon, nylon and lycra; for fabrics made from a mixture of cotton and synthetics, the same washing temperature should be chosen;
60 degrees is a suitable temperature for moderately to heavily soiled non-fading cotton items, such as bed linen, toilet and kitchen towels, and baby items;
wash at high temperatures – up to 95 degrees is acceptable for disinfection and washing heavily soiled cotton and linen items.
2. Drum revolutions
Basically, in washing machines it is possible to set rotation modes from 400 to 1000.

To maintain quality, it is necessary to consider the following recommendations for the optimal number of revolutions:

400-600.
Comparable to manual, slightly superior in strength and quality, “gentle”.

Fine wool, polyester, silk, cotton fabric.

800-900.
Intensive, effectively removes dirt from delicate materials, most frequently used.

Synthetics.

1000.
A highly intensive mechanism that copes well with cleaning dense fabrics and heavy dirt.

Jeans, blended fabrics.

Knowing the features of each washing mode, you will no longer have problems with the fact that the item is damaged or stained. Now, by choosing the right program, you can even extend the life of things and save electricity.
