The washing machine, which provides clean linen daily, needs regular cleaning. Even if the technique looks clean from the outside, residues of detergents, moisture and mold that spoil the clothes, cause unpleasant odor and reduce the efficiency of washing can accumulate inside. Fortunately, it is possible to return the car with the help of ordinary means - white vinegar and baking soda.
According to Southern Living , the environmental and affordable cleaning method was supported by experts: Maverik Davis from Frontdoor Virtual Appliance and Glenn Lewis, President of Mr. Appliance. They emphasize that soda and vinegar are not only a safe alternative to aggressive chemistry, but also an effective way to prolong the life of the washing machine.
How to properly clean the washing machine:
What will you need:
-
2 glasses of white vinegar
-
½ cup baking soda
-
Microfiber napkin
The sequence of actions:
-
Make sure the drum is empty.

Pour vinegar directly into the drum.

-
After the cycle is complete, pour the baking soda into the drum.
