Drum drying: Be sure to leave the door open after each wash so that the drum can dry properly.
How do you get rid of bad smells in the washing machine?
Nothing is more unpleasant than a musty smell on laundry after washing. As mentioned earlier, mold can easily form in your washing machine, causing a strong odor that can quickly become harmful to allergy sufferers. How can this be remedied? It is important to clean your washing machine regularly with an effective descaler.
You can alternate between chemicals and home remedies, such as a mixture of baking soda and distilled white vinegar.
These natural ingredients are excellent for descaling and disinfecting the device. Simply pour this solution into the laundry tub,
and start a no-load cycle at 90°C.
It is also important not to neglect the following points:
Clean the laundry tray.
This cleaning is necessary at least once a week to remove excess detergent, which could then give off an unpleasant odor. Note the self-cleaning function: many appliances are equipped with this option to remove accumulated bacteria and clean the drum at 70°C. However, the results are not always up to expectations.
