|
|
When I wash my clothes the minimum time I can set for is 1 hour & 30 minutes.
Does anyone know how to change the time setting?
Or is a hour and a half the norm for washing clothes here?
How do you get your clothes really dry? The machine has dry setting (gun jo). But the clothes come out damp.
I got a machine which is washer/dryer all in one.
Not like 2 separate machines like back home.
Any tips? |

Welcome to Korea!
Best thing to do is forget about your laundry and get out and get a K-girlfrined who will do your washing for you. |

By the way, your washing machine doesn't have dryer function like back home. Clothes just come out damp after the spin cycle.
So your GF can blow dry it.  |

The technology to make a proper dryer have not been obtained by Korean companies yet.
One thing that might be helpful is after the wash cycle, open the door and let all the dampness out. Then start the dry cycle, but you must dry for at least an hour or so.
Only time it worked for me was the first time. even with tons of fabric softener, you'll have to iron everything.
Ask a Korean friend how to operate it, or use a dictionary to translate the settings. |

Dryer makes the clothes shrink.
Dryer also destroys the fabric - shirts look older and washed out. Loose their shine, etc.
I use dryer only for socks, underwear and say towels, jeans, etc.
Destroyed so many nice clothes in them. They are convenient though. |
