Lisähuuhtelutoiminto

Lisähuuhtelutoiminto, often translated as "extra rinse" or "additional rinse," is a feature commonly found on washing machines. Its primary purpose is to provide an extra rinse cycle after the standard washing and rinsing programs have been completed. This function is particularly beneficial for individuals with sensitive skin or for washing baby clothes, as it helps to remove residual detergent from fabrics more effectively.

When the lisähuuhtelutoiminto is activated, the washing machine performs one or more additional rinses using clean water. This can help to prevent skin irritation caused by detergent residues, which can remain in clothing if not thoroughly washed out. Some machines allow users to select the number of extra rinses, offering a customizable level of detergent removal.

The decision to use the lisähuuhtelutoiminto often depends on personal preference and the type of laundry being washed. For heavily soiled items or when using a larger amount of detergent, an extra rinse can be advantageous. Conversely, for lightly soiled items or when using eco-friendly detergents that are designed to be easily rinsed, it may not be necessary. Activating this feature can slightly increase water and energy consumption due to the additional rinse cycles.
