Washing machine Cleaning … and why it is so important

foto%20bad%20smell.jpg?1698355769

 

Washing machine is an indispensable piece of household equipment that we regularly use. But often we remember that it needs to be cleaned only when we notice an unpleasant odor from the drum and from the washed items. Manufacturers recommend cleaning the machine every 6 months, the filter every 2 to 4 months.

 

And we’ll show you how!

 

 

But first… why is it actually so important to clean your washing machine?

 

  1. Dirt, threads, hair, wool (everything that was on the washed clothes) can accumulate inside the machine.

 

  1. If the detergent is used incorrectly, then soap residues, minerals, and excess foam also settle inside over time. They form a thin film and clog the mechanisms. This reduces washing efficiency and creates an unpleasant odor that can permeate the clothes.

 

  1. Washing machines are usually humid and warm - this is an ideal environment for the growth and spread of bacteria and black mold.

 

  1. Limescale forms on the heating elements and they can be damaged.

 

  1. Other sources of contamination can be salts and rust contained in the water, soil or sand in the inlet hose, and small things that have gotten into the drain pump filter.

 

The insidiousness of such pollution is that until any problems appear, they do not show up.

 

Therefore, regular cleaning of your washing machine will save you from many problems and your washing machine will serve you for many years.

 

 

Steps for washing machine Care:

 

 

1. Clean the detergent compartment.

 

Take the detergent compartment out and soak it in 9% table vinegar - it helps to remove limescale , bacteria and bad odours, then clean with a sponge and a small brush for narrow areas. If you like natural stuff - White/table vinegar will help you to remove hard water stains, baking soda will scrub off dirt and detergent residues.

Make sure to clean the place BELOW the detergent compartment too- if it has mould, use bleach solution.

2. Clean the rubber cuff and the drum from dirt and limescale.

 

You will need white vinegar + dishwashing soapto remove grease and dirt on the rubber (you can also add some baking soda if more scrubbing is necessary). Spray white vinegar inside the drum and on the rubber, let it sit for 10-15min. Then take a sponge with soap and scrub inside. Make sure that you go in all the folds of the rubber cuff (take a toothbrush to reach any difficult areas).

4. Empty and clean the bottom filter of the washing machine!

 

The bottom filter of the washing machine is an important protector for the hose from little coins, paper clips, toys, stones and any other small debris, that was inside the pockets. It is usually located at the front, on the bottom panel, hidden by a cover or plug. Before opening it, place a cloth on the floor because residual water may leak out. Then unscrew the cap and remove all dirt and debris from the filter. Wash the filter itself with a soap, return it to its place and close the lid. Watch our short video instruction to see how to do it! https://youtu.be/s0Op2K1Hqj0

5. And the last, but not least: after all these procedures it’s a good idea to start a washing machine cleaning cycle on 90 degrees with a special cleaning agent like Calgon or tablets. Do not add any clothes.

Just give your washing machine some refreshing time for itself!

 

Done! Your washing machine is clean and Happy!

 

SIMPLE ... but the main mistakes are:


    1.To violate manufacturers recommendations and instructions of cleaning supplues you use
    2.To skip any of these steps (described above). Because if you skip any of the points you won't get complex result, i.e. bad odour and dirt may still stay there, that is you will lose your time and money for detergents but have only disappointment.

 

TIPs:
1. if you have no time for the full clean up, but still want to get some result, run a hygienic program with special Washing machine Cleaner - Calgon is the most popular- (!! According to its Instruction). Just do it more often - lets say, every month.
2. Always keep your waching machine Open between cleanings (door, detergent compartment)
