The drum and trays of your washing machine can smell very unpleasant.

And there is nothing surprising about this: dirt often remains on the walls.

In addition, the environment inside the device is humid. And dangerous microorganisms multiply quickly and mold immediately appears precisely in such conditions.

How can you prevent the appearance of a musty smell? It is enough to carry out one simple procedure once a month.

What procedure are we talking about?

The washing machine should run for some time without items in the drum.

In this case, the mode called “boiling” should be in operation.

In addition, certain additives must be present in the water.

So, you need to use vinegar (70%, 1 tbsp). In addition, you will need some lemon juice: one packet will be enough.

The above doses should be taken per liter of clean liquid.

Running the washing machine through this cycle every month will ensure that mold and bacteria do not appear.

The surfaces will remain relatively clean, meaning there will be no stench.
