Is your washing machine smelling? Try this simple kitchen hack
Many people face the problem of an unpleasant smell from their washing machine. Fortunately, there is a simple and effective method to help deal with it. You only need a product you can find in the kitchen.
Why does the washing machine smell unpleasant? There could be several reasons, but it is usually related to dirt inside the appliance. We suggest how to get rid of it quickly and effectively.
A tablet will help
Substances in a dishwasher tablet help dissolve dirt and remove unpleasant smells. Simply place a tablet in the empty drum of the washing machine and set it to run at at least 60°C.
Also, don't forget to clean the inside of the washing machine after it finishes, for example, with a damp cloth and paper towel, to remove any remaining dirt.
Cleaning the washing machine
It might seem that doing laundry is straightforward. However, to make it as effective as possible, you should regularly clean the washing machine. For this purpose, check the condition of the drum at least once a month. This is where threads, fabric residues, undissolved detergents, and limescale often accumulate.
Simply cleaning the drum may not be enough. That’s why you should also take care of the filter, drain, and rubber seals, where water often settles with dirt and other impurities.
