Say goodbye to smelly washing machines! 🧼🚫 You might forget that the appliance that cleans your clothes needs some TLC too. Regular maintenance is essential as washing machines can be a hotspot for mould and bad odours, impacting their ability to clean effectively!
Liam Cookson, a laundry expert, reveals two often-neglected areas that need your attention—the detergent drawer and the rubber seal. The drawer often accumulates residue, so be sure to remove it, rinse under warm water, and clean the compartment after every wash. This ensures detergent flows properly and helps prevent mould build-up.
Also, don’t forget the door seal! It traps water, lint, and debris after each cycle. Regularly inspect and clean this area to prevent persistent odours, especially in the summer months when the washer is working overtime on sweaty gym gear and light clothing.
Want more tips? 🌟 Leave the door slightly open after a wash, use the correct amount of detergent, and run the occasional maintenance wash at a higher temperature. These simple habits will help keep your washer smelling fresh and operating smoothly.
Lastly, check the filter regularly—usually located at the bottom. It’s where excess lint and random items get caught up, so cleaning it is key to keeping your machine in top condition.
