Don’t Make This Mistake Before Starting the Washing Machine: This Will Double Your Bill

How to Avoid the Overloading Mistake

Now that you know why overloading your washing machine is such a costly mistake, let’s take a look at how you can avoid it and save both money and energy.

1. Follow the Manufacturer’s Load Capacity Recommendations
Every washing machine has a recommended load capacity, typically listed in the user manual or on the inside of the door or lid. It’s important to stick to this limit to ensure your washer runs efficiently and your clothes get properly cleaned.

For top-loading washers, the recommended load is often about half to three-quarters full to allow space for clothes to move around.
