Introduction
Washing machines are a common sight in Bangladeshi households today — but not everyone uses them safely. From electrical hazards to water leaks and child accidents, unsafe washer usage can lead to costly damage or even danger. In this blog, we list the top 10 safety tips every Bangladeshi family should follow while using a washing machine in 2025.
1. Always Plug Into a Grounded Socket
- Use a three-pin plug with a grounded outlet
- Avoid using low-quality extension cords or adapters
2. Install a Voltage Stabilizer
- Frequent voltage drops in cities like Dhaka or Khulna can damage your washer
- Use a stabilizer or surge protector to safeguard the motor
3. Never Overload the Drum
- Exceeding the weight limit can break the drum or motor

4. Keep Water Away from the Plug
- Make sure the power socket is installed above floor level
- Wipe hands before touching power buttons or plugs
5. Supervise When Children Are Around
- Always close the washer door and keep it locked when not in use

6. Turn Off the Machine After Use
