If you\u2019re looking at investing in a portable washing machine, whether that be because you\u2019re on the move or have too small an apartment or dorm room for a full sized washing machine, you\u2019re not alone. <\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Incredibly lightweight and compact, a portable washing machine is the perfect appliance to get your washing clean when you\u2019re on a tight schedule or when you don\u2019t want to be dishing out extra cash to use the often unhygienic communal laundry mats.<\/p>\n

But how do they work? Let\u2019s take a look at everything it takes to get a portable washing machine up and running.<\/p>\n

First things first<\/h2>\n

Luckily, setting up your portable washing machine isn\u2019t rocket science, and it won\u2019t take you hours to figure it out, but do make sure you take a look at the instruction manual that comes with it before you do anything else. <\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget, all portable washing machines are slightly different, and some may have more or fewer instructions to get it working properly.<\/p>\n

Load the portable washing machine with clothing<\/p>\n

As with any washing machine, the first thing you\u2019ll need to do is fill it with clothes. Always check just how much weight your portable washing machine can handle, and don\u2019t overfill it, otherwise you won\u2019t get the perfect clean and may find yourself rewashing clothing.<\/p>\n

Fill your portable washing machine with water<\/h2>\n

Your second job is to fill the machine with water. An easy enough task to complete, all you\u2019ll need to do is attach the correct hose to your kitchen or bathroom faucet. You\u2019ll find that many portable washing machines come with two hoses. One is to fill the washer, the other is to drain it, so be sure you pick the correct one.<\/p>\n

Once it\u2019s connected, you can fill the machine with as much water (and detergent) as you need.<\/p>\n

Plug the machine into the electrical supply<\/h2>\n

Safety first! Always ensure that your hands are dry when you plug your portable washing machine into the wall, or you may get a nasty shock.<\/p>\n

Plug the machine into the closest wall socket to give it power. Once this is done, you can set the timer on the machine to your desired time limit, which of course depends on the amount of clothing you\u2019ve put into the machine, and how dirty it is. Turn the machine on, and let it get on with business.<\/p>\n

Drain the dirty water<\/h2>\n

Once the timer\u2019s run down and your wash is over, you need to drain the dirty water from the machine. You can do this easily by placing the drain hose in a large bucket or sink and letting it drain until it\u2019s completely empty. Once it\u2019s empty, you can remove your clothing. <\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

If you have a two tub washing machine, you can pop your clothes into the spin side and let them be spun dry. You should then remember to remove the dirty water from this side too.<\/p>\n

Keeping the dirty water drained will help to maintain the life of your portable washing machine.<\/p>\n
