The washing machine needs maintenance to always be efficient and ensure clean and scented clothes. That is why it is necessary to carry out internal cleaning to remove dirt and tartar that can accumulate inside over time.
What to do when moisture and dirt lodge in the washing machine? Dirt and moisture easily accumulate in the detergent compartment, where we put detergents and softeners that the washing machine then takes during wash cycles.
In this place that is always in contact with water, humidity dominates. Dust, dirt and mold therefore form very easily and can give clothes unpleasant odors. That is why it is necessary to regularly and correctly clean the washing machine drawer, as well as the device itself.
Although it may seem like a banal operation, and it may seem strange that the washing machine gets dirty, in reality it is inevitable that this happens. As mentioned before, detergent residue, limescale and dirt released by clothes contribute to dirtying the washing machine and reducing its efficiency.
Cleaning your washing machine is important for several reasons. First of all, washing clothes in a dirty washing machine means not getting an optimal result. The clothes are washed poorly and are not well sanitized. In addition, the colors seem dull and the smell they give off is often not pleasant.
Finally, it is important to know that a poorly cleaned washing machine, full of dirt and lime, consumes more detergent and more energy and runs the risk of being damaged more easily. However, there is a simple way to prevent mold and grime from forming again in a short time.
