Over time, dirt accumulates in the washing machine, especially if the owner does not heed the manufacturer's advice and does not clean the equipment.

Accumulated dirt deteriorates the quality of washing, and odor and mold appear in the machine.

But in order to put household appliances in order, you don’t need expensive household chemicals.

When to clean the machine

A sure sign is the appearance of an unpleasant odor.

Another sign is a deterioration in foaming when using powders and other products.

But it is not the detergent manufacturer that is to blame for this, but the dirt that has settled inside the machine.

How to clean

1. Pour one cap of borax into the washing machine drum and run an empty wash cycle at 30-40 degrees without spinning. 30 minutes is enough.

The product will wash away scale, detergent residues and the machine will be like new.

2. Instead of borax, you can use white vinegar, which is added to the drum or powder compartment.

Cleaning is carried out at high temperatures and on a long wash cycle.

For reference

A washing machine is an autonomous unit for washing textiles (clothing, underwear and bed linen, bags and other items), and sometimes shoes.
