A washing machine frees housewives from the need to wash a lot of things by hand.

But sometimes problems make themselves known. For example, the appearance of an unpleasant smell in items that have been in the washing machine drum for some time.

What is this connected with? Most likely, it is not the linen itself, but the household appliances.

Fortunately, it is quite possible to eliminate the source of the stench.

Why do things smell bad?

If the unpleasant smell comes not only from the products, but also from the drum of the washing machine, then the problem is stagnant water.

Accumulated liquid inside the device causes dangerous microorganisms and mold to appear.

A stench arises, which “transfers” to the clothes during washing.

What should the hostess do?

In such a situation, you need to pour some mouthwash into the washing machine drum. Two caps of this product will be quite enough.

Next, you need to start the rinse mode.

There is an important nuance: at this point there should be nothing in the drum except rinse aid.

During the procedure, the antiseptic solution will rid the inner surface of the device of dangerous microorganisms and at the same time spread a pleasant smell.

Earlier we told you about a useful trick with a dishwashing sponge and salt.
