Baking soda in the washing machine? That’s why you need to put it in!
How many times have you noticed a really unpleasant smell coming from your washing machine? Because even if few people know it, the washing machine also needs to be washed , just like the dishwasher. It seems strange, but it is. Although these are household appliances used to clean and wash clothes or dishes and therefore already require cleaning with detergents and hot water during normal use, it is nevertheless important to take special care of them.
Most components come into contact with the dirt that comes off your clothes during washing. In combination with the constantly circulating water, this can lead to the formation of bacteria , mold and limescale over time . These harmful components accumulate mainly in the basket and filters.
But this is not the only danger. If certain maintenance tasks are not carried out, the performance of the washing machine can be reduced to the point that the water takes longer to heat up and less pressure passes through the pipes, weakened by the limescale that accumulates inside. Ultimately, in addition to unpleasant odors and the possibility that the laundry is not cleaned properly, there is also a risk of breakdown. The cleanliness of the washing machine also serves to avoid this case as much as possible.
