You can find a lot of recommendations on the Internet, the authors of which suggest using the well-known "lemon" to clean the washing machine.
At the same time, not all professionals agree with this opinion, and here's why.
Since the product in question is an acid, this means that the lemon juice could potentially damage the internal components.
Their list is quite extensive: this includes a stainless steel drum, an aluminum crosspiece, as well as parts made of polypropylene and rubber.
However, it is worth noting that the use of a citric acid solution, the concentration of which does not exceed 10%, is simply not able to harm any of the listed elements.
Therefore, you can safely use this product to remove scale from your washing machine: the main thing is not to add more than 100 g per liter of water.
Please note: for the use of the drug to bear fruit, the temperature of the liquid must be at least 90 degrees.
The question of whether it is necessary to rinse the machine after using acid remains open, so to be on the safe side, use the drum cleaning mode, and if there is none, use the regular rinse.
