An unpleasant smell in the washing machine is one of the most common household problems.
Experienced housewives have several options at their disposal that will help clean equipment and eliminate the stench.
Soda to the rescue
A proven folk method that many housewives use. Add 2-3 tablespoons of soda to the powder compartment and start the washing mode at 90 °C.
Soda removes plaque and fungus, which are the source of unpleasant odor. This option is also suitable for prevention.
Citric acid
Citric acid will help to overcome the stench in the washing machine. You need to pour 2 tbsp of the product into the powder compartment. If the trick does not work, then you can add soda to the citric acid and run a service wash with a rinse mode.
Vinegar
Removes scale and disinfects the machine. Pour 2 tbsp of vinegar into the powder compartment and set the wash cycle to 90 °C. After 15 minutes, pause the process for 60 minutes, and then wash the filter. It is recommended to repeat this option every 4 months, and then the unpleasant smell will never settle in the washing machine.
