So hand on heart. Are you cleaning the washing machine? And how often? And what? Do you buy cheaper or more expensive special products? And do you know it’s perhaps a completely unnecessary investment? “You only need the right procedure for proper cleaning. Plus two quite ordinary things, ”says the Ireceptář in the podcast in the ear cleaning expert Kateřina Brožová.
You can find a podcast interview on the natural way cleaning here:
Have you heard that natural cleaning is the basis of vinegar? When it comes to the washing machine, it is not entirely true. You will need another item that you may normally have in the kitchen. Citric acid. Although vinegar this time does not come simply. In addition, you can clean the washing machine more efficiently and faster than with a lot of chemistry.
Start as while washing
The drum comes. But once a month you proceed to clean the washing machine, first focus on the detergent dispenser. Whether you use liquid or loose, its residues remain here and over time they can create an unpleasant mixture. Therefore, extend the dispenser and wash it with a universal cleaner, sponge or brush and water.
“If the deposition is too strong, or a lot of limescale is needed on the dispenser, mix 2 tablespoons of citric acid with 3 dcl of warm vinegar and let it soak for 30 minutes,” recommends Kateřina Brožová, whose products and blog are called Cleaning for peace. Meanwhile, scrub the hole in the washing machine, where the magazine will come back after cleaning.
What is inside
After the magazine comes the time for the filter and the inside of the washing machine. Open the door at the bottom of the washing machine and clean the sieve and the entire hole with the acetic cleaner after draining the remaining water, where to reach. Do not forget to put everything back carefully so that you do not end with a spilled washing machine.
Turn on and wait
Do you know where moisture and mold accumulate most often in the washing machine? In the seal around the door. Wipe it with a cloth and a universal cleaner and if the mold is already showing, soak the cloth in the vinegar and let it act for at least half an hour.
Now comes the moment for the big finals – and also for what you may do with the cleaner. Take 3 tablespoons of citric acid, pour it into the drum of the washing machine and a little into the seal and release the program at least 60 ° C (some experts recommend using 90 ° C at least once in a while). Once the washing machine has made, open the door and allow it to dry properly. It will be beautifully clean again and you will be done for the next month.
