How to proceed

1. Run an empty wash cycle with maximum water temperature and add citric acid. It is recommended to add 25 grams of the product for every 2-2.5 kg of load.

It can be used dry or with an aqueous solution.

2. Add washing machine cleaning products that contain active ingredients.

3. Then it is important to dry the drum, for which the loading hatch is left slightly open, and the tray for household chemicals is also opened.

4. Clean the washing machine filter. This operation should be done periodically. This is where particles of garbage, change and other items from pockets settle.
