When selecting a washing machine cycle, most people consider the fabric of the clothes, the desired water temperature, and the duration of the wash. However, one man’s favourite washing machine cycle is not related to laundry at all. His wife recently discovered his hilarious reasoning and couldn’t contain her laughter.
Roni Hughes, a TikTok content creator, asked her husband on camera which washing cycle he typically uses, while trying to suppress her laughter. Her husband calmly responded that he usually opts “for the Mix one”.
“And why, why do you select the Mix one,” Roni asked, giggling. In a calm tone, her husband replied: “When you select the temperature it plays the Harry Potter theme tune.”
He demonstrated, and sure enough, the beeps from the machine resembled Hedwig’s Theme from the Harry Potter film series. Roni, who “wasn’t expecting that”, burst into laughter.
Social media users also found the situation hilarious, with one commenting: “This man has life figured out. Respect.”
Another said: “I ran so quickly to our washing machine to try this. Mindblown! ” A third added: “Omg. We have this washing machine I have just found my new cycle,”.
The washing machine brand seems to be Hisense. The mix washing machine cycles are typically designed for a combination of different fabrics and colours.
The precise cycle you require will depend on the items you’re washing. Most machines have settings for synthetics and cottons, as well as wool/delicate and quick wash options.
All washing machines also come with a temperature setting, allowing you to wash your clothes in either cooler or hotter water. According to Which?, washing clothes at 30C can reduce running costs by up to 38% compared to 40C.
