Tired of that pesky odour wafting from your washing machine? You’re not alone! Forget splurging on fancy cleaning products that barely work. The solution to fresh-smelling laundry is sitting right there in your cupboard: white vinegar!
TikTok sensation @fixitwithfraz, with his 31,500 followers, swears by this classic trick, and it’s gaining momentum for a reason. He says, “This washing machine smells as fresh as a daisy, without using loads of softener!” The secret? White vinegar!
Here’s how you do it: Kickstart a deep clean by running several empty cycles. Add one or two cups of white vinegar directly into the drum (make sure it’s empty!) and set the temperature to 60 degrees or higher. Voilà, your machine will be as spotless as the day it was born!
But that’s not all. For freshening fabric and reducing static, splash half a cup into the fabric softener compartment. To tackle tough odours, pop in a cup of vinegar with your detergent during the wash, or pre-soak your gym gear in a vinegar and water mix before washing.
For maximum freshness, follow up with a cycle of baking soda (not at the same time as vinegar!) for those pristine results. Keep your appliance in tip-top shape by skipping softeners that can leave smelly residues behind, and let your machine air out by leaving the door and drawer open when not in use.
Say goodbye to stale-smelling laundry days and embrace the natural zing of vinegar. Give this simple hack a whirl and enjoy a fresher home in no time! 🌿🧺✨
