A washing machine is an indispensable household appliance that significantly simplifies washing and saves time. At the same time, it is important to properly care for the equipment and not constantly make mistakes when washing that will harm the machine and things.

It is enough to remember five simple rules to ensure the normal operation of the machine.

You don't need to use too much powder.

You can't overdo it with detergents.

As a result, traces of powder will remain on clothes, as well as on the walls of the washing machine. Over time, the remains of the powder will only accumulate, and this will cause an unpleasant smell.

Zippers on things should be closed all the way

Metal teeth can catch on other clothing and ruin it if zippers are not closed before washing.

There is no need to fasten the buttons

When washing, buttons can quickly come off things. In this case, not only will shirts and trousers be ruined, but it is also necessary to consider that small parts can damage the equipment.

Small items should be washed in a special bag.

If there is no such option for washing, then socks should be placed in the drum first so that they do not get lost or stick to the rest of the clothes.

The machine needs to be cleaned periodically.

If you ignore this procedure, the machine will start to smell bad. The laundry will have a musty smell.

In addition, the equipment itself will break down faster if it is not cleaned.

It is worth adding that it is important to periodically clean not only the drum, but also the powder tray.

Previously, we talked about how to understand that it’s time to clean your washing machine.
