The length of time you soak clothes will affect the cleanliness and protection of the clothes. Therefore, you need to choose the soaking time based on the material of the clothes and the degree of stains. Generally speaking, the best time to soak clothes is between 30 minutes and 1 hour.
For ordinary daily wear clothes, the soaking time can be about 30 minutes. During the process of soaking clothes, the washing machine will continuously circulate water to clean the clothes through friction and flushing. If soaked for too long, the clothes will be damaged and may even fade or deform.
For some special clothing, such as down jackets, woolen sweaters, etc., the soaking time needs to be controlled within 1 hour. Because the materials of these clothes are relatively special, soaking them for too long will cause the clothes to deform, pill, etc., and even affect the warmth retention effect.
In addition, when soaking clothes, you also need to pay attention to the color of the clothes. If it is dark-colored clothing, the soaking time should not be too long to avoid fading. Light-colored clothes can be soaked for longer to increase their cleanliness.
In short, the time for soaking clothes needs to be selected according to the material of the clothes and the degree of stains. It is generally controlled between 30 minutes and 1 hour. At the same time, you also need to pay attention to the color of the clothes and the soaking time for clothes made of special materials. In this way, the clothes can be better protected and the service life can be extended.
