Some housewives never have problems with unpleasant odors and mold in their washing machines because they know how to properly care for the equipment.

If you follow a few simple recommendations, you can protect your gadget from these negative consequences.

What are the basic rules?

Be careful with detergents

Do not add more washing powder and conditioner than indicated. This will not have the best effect on the quality of the equipment. These products will not be able to be completely removed.

Therefore, a permanent layer of detergents will settle inside the machine. This will not only be a potential cause of mold, but can also lead to equipment failure.

Time

After you have completed the washing process, do not leave things in the drum for a long time. This creates a favorable environment for the activity of harmful microorganisms, which feel great in a humid environment.

For the same reason, you should not close the appliance immediately after washing.
