The service life of a washing machine depends on the quality of tap water, and the consequences of scale have long been described in advertising blocks.
Housewives, taught by bitter experience, know how to clean water heating elements and carry out preventive maintenance regularly.
There are several ways to clean a washing machine using citric acid. Here are some of the most popular ones.
Cleaning is carried out with empty washing, that is, without laundry.
Method one
This will require 200-250 grams of citric acid, depending on the loading capacity.
The product should be placed in the compartment for washing powder and the washing mode should be selected at a water temperature of 90 degrees.
The second way
You can add bleach to citric acid. To do this you will need:
- 200 g citric acid;
- 1 glass of bleach.
The lemon juice should be poured into the detergent compartment, and the chlorine is poured into the drum. After that, the mode with the highest temperature is started.
Method three
You can add soda to citric acid.
- 100-150 g citric acid;
- 2-4 teaspoons of soda ash.
You need to pour soda and citric acid into the detergent compartment and select a mode with a washing temperature of 90 degrees.
From personal experience, it is worth adding that it is recommended to clean the washing machine at least once a month, but taking into account the quality of tap water.
