If there’s one thing we’ve learned when it comes to Speed Queen, it’s that simplicity is key. With a modest spectrum of features available on its lineup of washers, here are the Speed Queen wash cycles explained to give you a better idea of what to expect when it comes to using these commercial-grade washers.
Speed Queen Permanent Press
Some of the Speed Queen washer cycles will be the same ones found on most washing machines. The permanent press cycle is for more delicate clothes that can get beat up during the washing process. It uses warmer water and has a lower spin cycle to care for these clothes. Knowing this, you can already see how having the Speed Queen wash cycles explained can make it easier to choose the best options based on what you need to wash.
Speed Queen Perfect Wash™
There are standard cycles found on most machines and there are Speed Queen wash cycles that are specific to this brand. The Perfect Wash™ cycle is available on Speed Queen top load washers and is designed to provide a deep cleaning experience for your clothes. The tub and the agitator move water around but only use a gentle wash motion to prevent wear and tear.
Speed Queen Classic Clean
Along with having Speed Queen washing machine cycles explained, it sometimes helps to compare one wash cycle to another to understand how they both work. The Speed Queen Classic Clean vs Perfect Wash is a great example of this. The Classic Clean setting is similar to the Perfect Wash™ cycle but it works faster. This cycle takes roughly 30 minutes, even though the tub is filled to a deeper level. This cycle is Speed Queen going back to its roots when clothes were simpler, so laundry could be too. Overall, we recommend this for lighter loads or when you need to clean clothes that aren’t heavily soiled quickly.
Speed Queen Pet Plus
This cycle does its best to remove as much pet fur, dander, and odors from your clothes. If you live with a household of cats or have a partner with a pet allergy, this cycle is essential for cleaning and ridding your clothes of pet hair.
Speed Queen also boasts an industry-exclusive flea-removal cycle, which can wash away these irritating pests and any eggs they have laid.
Speed Queen Sanitize with Oxi
Many washing machine cycles focus on the soil level of the clothes, but this one targets bacteria and other germs that can linger on your clothes. It provides a higher level of cleaning by sanitizing anything you wash. If a member of your family gets sick, use this cycle to clean their clothes and bedsheets. If you are around a lot of people during the day (like working as a teacher or a nurse), this cycle is essential for preventing the spread of germs to your family.
