Why experienced housewives pour salt into the washing machine: it has nothing to do with the laundry

No one will dispute the fact that after washing, there are still detergent residues, water droplets and dirt particles inside the washing machine.

Over time, all these “components” begin to emit an unpleasant odor.

Therefore, it is very likely that after washing in such a machine, clothes will not acquire a fresh scent, but, on the contrary, will be saturated with a repulsive smell.

Fortunately, this problem is easy to solve - you will need the most common salt. It is better if you can find coarse salt.

Pour 200g of salt into the washing machine drum and then start the wash cycle, selecting a long cycle and high temperature.

During this procedure, the salt will dissolve and clean all surfaces of the machine from foreign elements clogged there.

Once the wash cycle is complete, you can let the machine run idle again, this time on a short cycle, to get rid of any salt particles.

The main thing to remember is that effective results can only be achieved if such preventive cleaning is carried out regularly.
