What Does the Pre-Wash Cycle Do.

​The pre-wash cycle adds water into the tub, agitates, and spins the water out. Now if you are wondering “How does the pre-wash cycle work?”, well it is pretty simple.
 
The pre-wash cycle is used to loosen debris and dirt from your clothing, and it gives that extra wash that is needed to extra soiled clothing. When the pre-wash cycle is finished, the washing tub will fill with a new and fresh load of water to resume the normal washing cycle.

This new added feature is meant to take just under 5 minutes of extra time. This may seem hardly worth it, right? Wrong! This extra time does wonders for your clothing, removing and loosening hard to remove debris and dirt. This means that when it moves on to the normal washing cycle, it has less dirt to remove and will get your clothes cleaner.
 
Now let’s visualize this for a second. Imagine you are mopping your floors with filthy, dirty water – there is no point, right? The same process is true when it comes to washing your clothes, the pre-wash flushes out the filthy water and replaces the washing tub with new, fresh water. The detergent is now free to clean your clothes using the fresh, new water.

The short answer is, yes. Yes you should use this cycle, especially if you are washing clothes that are heavily soiled. If you use cloth diapers, it is very useful. If you work in the oilfield and have dirty coveralls, the pre-wash cycle is very helpful. Washing your bedding? Pre-wash and ensure you get the freshest sheets to sleep in.
