The Quick Wash mode is highly useful when you need to quickly wash a few clothes without following any set wash programs.
At higher temperatures, detergents work better and eliminating stubborn dirt, oil and microbes will be easier.
In this nifty mode, the washing machine automatically picks the right wash cycle depending on the load weight and dirt. It also calculates the exact amount of soap and water required for the wash cycle. Handy for new users.
