And for good reason: they contain detergents with cleaning and softening properties. By rubbing the drum of your washing machine with a microfiber cloth dipped in a solution containing a dissolved tablet, you will remove the remains of dirt and the mold that grows inside. In addition, the salt contained in the tablets, known for its anti-limescale properties, prevents limescale from settling inside the drum. To degrease your appliance, forget about bleach, conventional household products that are toxic, harmful to the environment, harmful to health and, in addition, not very effective. The dishwasher tablet is a powerful multi-purpose cleaner.
To do this, you only need to carry out one of the two methods below:
Washing machine
Clean your washing machine by throwing dishwasher tablets
Depending on the condition of your appliance, throw one or two tablets into your washing machine and turn it on empty on a program at a temperature of 60 degrees. Once the wash cycle is finished, open your machine and leave it open for a few minutes. You will see that your machine is not only clean, but also free of mold and bacteria that thrive inside.
Washing machine for rubber seals.
Find a solution to clean your washing machine of dishwasher tablets
To do this, simply dissolve one or more tablets, depending on the state of dirtiness of your machine, in a bowl of water. Dip a microfiber cloth in it and wipe the drum of your machine. Don’t forget any corner! Everything has to go through it, including the rubber seal.
You can take an old toothbrush and scrub every part of the machine vigorously. Remove any residue with your microfiber cloth or a sponge.
When you’re done, all you have to do is leave the door open so that the machine dries properly and prevents bacteria from reproducing and odors from forming.
Shelves to save your machine’s detergent drawer
Dishwasher shelves
You may not have noticed, but your drawer tends to smell strong. Laundry is probably accumulating there. If you don’t clean it, it can suffer the same fate as the machine seal or drum.
Take your microfiber cloth or sponge and soak it in a mixture of tablet and water. Scrub the drawer well to remove any detergent residue as well as any mold that has formed there over time and washing. Once the drawer is clean, don’t forget to air dry it or wipe it with a clean, dry cloth.
For a cleaning that respects the environment and your budget, opt for cleaning at home with natural, chemical-free products. This activity is not only economical, but it can also be fun. There’s nothing better than homemade, waste-free, biodegradable and for exemplary cleanliness. To flavor your bars, you can add a few drops of lily, lavender, eucalyptus or lemon essential oil.
Dishwasher shelves are definitely a staple throughout the house.
