Advik: Hey Arunima, have you ever used a washing machine before?

Arunima: No, not really. I’ve always just done my laundry by hand.

Advik: Well, let me show you how easy it is with a washing machine. First, you need to sort your clothes by color and fabric type.

Arunima: Okay, got it. So, whites with whites, colors with colors, and delicate items separate, right?

Advik: Exactly. Once they’re sorted, load them into the washing machine. Make sure not to overload it.

Arunima: How much detergent should I use?

Advik: It depends on the size of the load and the detergent’s instructions. Generally, a small scoop for a regular load should do.

Arunima: And what about the temperature and cycle?

Advik: Again, it depends on the clothes. For whites and heavily soiled items, use hot water and a longer cycle. For colors and delicates, stick to cold water and a shorter cycle.

Arunima: Okay, I think I’ve got it. What happens after the cycle ends?

Advik: Then you just need to transfer the clothes to the dryer or hang them out to air dry, depending on the fabric.

Arunima: That doesn’t sound too hard. Thanks for walking me through it, Advik!

Advik: No problem, Arunima. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll never want to go back to handwashing!
