THE TRUTH ABOUT: Do you find your washing machine is running for longer than the timer here s why that is - The Untold Story

White utility room with sleek black cabinetry.

As someone who works from home, I can technically pop on a wash at any point in the day… but it’s not as simple as that. From the sheer noise of the washing machine to the time it takes for clothes to dry, I’ve had to start planning my washing cycle down to the last minute to ensure it finishes at the perfect time. But even that’s not as easy as it sounds, as washing machines are constantly lying to us.

Yes, while you might focus all of your attention cleaning your washing machine and understanding how much it costs to run a washing machine, it’s also important to understand the timings of this appliance. And if you ever decide to sit down in front of your machine and wait out the last five minutes of the cycle, you’ll quickly realise that the last minute goes on for A LOT longer than it should.
