How to Use the LG WashTower™ Cycles for Back-to-School Laundry
SEP, 2025

The back-to-school season usually means one thing for households: more laundry. Between uniforms, sports kits, bedding, and everyday wear, families need an efficient way to manage different fabric types and wash loads. The LG WashTower™ is designed with a large capacity to handle bigger loads at once, but just as important are its specialized wash cycles. Understanding these cycles and when to use them can help you get the best results while saving time and energy.
A Guide to WashTower™ Cycles
Here’s a breakdown of the key cycles available, what they do, and when to use them during the school year:
Normal Cycle
● Best for : Everyday wear such as school uniforms, T-shirts, and trousers.
● How it works : Uses a standard mix of water temperature and wash motions.
● Tip : If your child’s uniform isn’t heavily stained, this cycle provides a reliable clean without unnecessary wear on fabrics.
Speed Wash
● Best for : Lightly soiled clothes you need quickly — like a forgotten PE kit.
● How it works : Shortens the wash time while still providing an effective clean.
● Tip : Ideal for smaller loads. For larger, dirtier items, use Heavy Duty instead.
Allergen Cycle (Steam)
● Best for : Families dealing with allergies or sensitive skin.
● How it works : Uses steam and high heat to reduce common allergens such as dust mites and pet dander.
● Tip : Recommended for bedding or clothes worn by children with asthma or allergies.
Heavy Duty Cycle
● Best for : Sportswear, muddy jeans, or heavily stained clothes.
● How it works : Uses higher water temperatures and stronger wash motions.
● Tip : Pre-treat stains for even better results, especially on white school shirts.
Bedding Cycle
● Best for : Sheets, pillowcases, blankets, and comforters.
● How it works : Adjusts wash motions to handle bulky loads without tangling or uneven spinning.
● Tip : Wash bedding weekly to help reduce allergens and keep sleep environments clean for children during the school year.
Steam Refresh
● Best for : Clothes that are clean but wrinkled or musty.
● How it works : Uses steam to reduce wrinkles and odors without a full wash.
● Tip : A quick way to freshen up uniforms midweek without running a full cycle.
Dryer Cycles Worth Knowing
The LG WashTower™ also includes smart dryer cycles that match the washer, ensuring fabrics are treated correctly. A few helpful ones:
● Normal Dry : Everyday items.
● Delicates : Low heat for sensitive fabrics like school blouses.
● Bedding Dry : Evenly dries larger, bulkier items.
Practical Advice for Back-to-School Laundry
● Sort loads : Separate uniforms, sports gear, and bedding for the right cycle.
● Use large capacity smartly : Wash multiple sets of uniforms in one load rather than smaller, repeated washes.
● Energy saving : Use Eco or Cold cycles for lightly soiled clothes to save energy.
By understanding the available cycles on the LG WashTower™ and matching them with your family’s laundry needs, you can make the back-to-school season more manageable while extending the life of your clothes.
