No machine lasts forever. If a machine is not well maintained, expect it to give up on you soon. A washing machine is no exception. Imagine the horror of a week-long dirty laundry without a working washing machine!
A clean washing machine works better
A regular routine of cleaning, along with the right way of use, are crucial to keep one of the most used household appliances, the washing machine, in tip top condition.
- Do not overload the washing machine
Having a mountain of dirty laundry means splitting them into hills and loading the prescribed load into the washing machine so that every wash is an effective wash.
- Do not spill cleaning agents on the washing machine
We all can’t help our butter fingers sometimes, but detergents, softeners and other cleaning agents can corrode the machine’s parts if left unattended to after the spill. Just clean the spill right away and it will be all smiles for your washing machine for a longer time.
- Do drain the water after every wash
Wash water is a bacteria-filled medium that needs to be removed as soon as possible. That’s why the wash water needs to be drained thoroughly and the machine kept dry. After every wash, keep the machine door open so that any excess water evaporates and along with it any chance for fungus and bacteria to harm you. Go a step further and wipe both the tub and draining hose with a clean cloth.
- Do clean your washing machine
Finally, a clean washing machine, is a healthy and safe washing machine. To remove residual detergent, softeners and other cleaning agents is to remove the chance of corrosion by these chemicals. It will save you money on repairs down the road. In fact, a monthly wash for the washing machine is recommended if you use it more than three times a week. Consider a safe and reliable washing machine cleaner and you’ll be set!
Since the washing machine is used regularly, it may be difficult to spot problems with the machine until it is too late. This is why you need to clean your washing machine always. Look at it as a form of servicing your machine. If you service your car, why don’t you do the same for your washing machine?
