Note: To keep your washing machine always clean, we recommend that you run the empty wash cycles once a month.
Black spots on the seal
Another sign that your washing machine is dirty are black spots along the seal caused by mold and standing water .
To remove them and get your washing machine looking new again, we recommend using vinegar, which has cleaning, anti-odor and antibacterial properties. Then fill a bowl with vinegar , dip a microfiber cloth in it, and wring it out.
Then stroke the seal several times until the stains disappear, and rinse and dry thoroughly until all traces of water are removed, as standing water is considered the main cause of mold growth!
Alternatively, you can make a kind of pasty mass by mixing a spoonful of baking soda and a teaspoon of Marseille soap and rubbing it onto the sealant with a soft brush. Then leave it on for about 5 minutes before removing the compound with a microfiber cloth, rinsing and drying thoroughly.
For an even more effective effect, you can add a few drops of tea tree essential oil to the mixture, which can prevent mold formation thanks to its antifungal and antifungal properties .
Dirty detergent dispenser
In addition to sealing, dirt and mildew stains in the detergent container are also easy to find. Here too, the accumulation of detergents and fabric softeners can lead to limescale deposits.
In this case, take the right time to clean the tub thoroughly as this problem could affect the washing of your clothes. Then take the hydrogen peroxide, which is also good for removing mold from walls , and pour it into a small bowl. Then dip some cotton balls or cotton pads into it and place them in the detergent drawer.
