The washing machine will work like a clock if you take care of it - clean the drain filter, wipe the drum and carry out other procedures to extend its service life.
The powder tray also needs to be cleaned from time to time, as limescale, rust, and detergent residue accumulate inside.
After another day of washing, housewives rarely take out the tray to rinse and dry it. At best, they open it and quickly wipe it.
However, a significant portion of dirt and microorganisms remains on the back side of the part. Over time, limescale and mold may also appear on it.
Similar contaminants accumulate inside, making the washing machine tray a sad sight.
To avoid this result, just pour citric acid into the compartment. Then start the washing cycle without items - 400 rpm and 60 °C. The procedure should be repeated periodically, and then there will be no smell or mold.
