Tricks to keep a washing machine very clean and without bad odors

1. Avoid overloading

As tempting as it may be to pack as many clothes as possible in the drum, leave room for water and room for the clothes to shift. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

2. Ventilate the drum

Take care to leave the door open after using the washing machine so that the drum ventilates and dries properly. That way you will avoid mold.

3. Clean the joint

Regularly wipe the rubber gasket with a clean, damp cloth. It is there that the dirty foam accumulates and causes an unpleasant odor, especially if you wash with liquid detergent.

4. Clean the detergent drawer

Take out the detergent drawer every few months and wash it in lukewarm water. Don't forget to remove any buildup that has adhered to the bottom of the box.

It is important that you do this check once every six months, especially when you use a powder detergent, as it can accumulate in the box and prevent the proper functioning of this appliance.

5. Clean the outside

Periodically clean the exterior with a neutral, non-abrasive cleaner or with a delicate dishwasher and water with a well-wrung cloth. Dry with a soft cloth.

6. Clean the filter

Depending on the model and its age, you may have to occasionally remove debris that accumulates in the washing machine filter and check its condition. If it has mold, yellow or greenish stains, clean it with hot water and disinfect it with bleach. Consult the manual to find out if it is necessary, how to do it and how often.

7. Do a maintenance laundry

Regularly carry out maintenance laundry with an empty drum on the cotton programme. It is important if you wash cold, since it prevents the accumulation of soap and lime deposits.

8. Add Soda Carbonate or Vinegar

When doing the maintenance casting, add a cup of baking soda or vinegar to the box to remove any calcification.

9. Remove the calcifications from the cage

If there are calcifications on the back of the box, soak a used toothbrush in vinegar and scratch. If the lime deposit is very large, remove the box and leave it to soak with water and cleaning vinegar.

10. Close the stopcock

In the event that you go on vacation or plan to spend a season without using the washing machine, close the water tap, as this will prevent leaks in your absence.
