Why is it important to put a lemon in the washing machine basket once a month?

• Mix all the ingredients together and pour the solution into a spray bottle, then spray it directly into the laundry tray. Leave on for about ten minutes.
• Then rub each compartment, taking care to remove any residues and incrustations with a sponge.  You can also help yourself with an old toothbrush (well disinfected!) to rub the most difficult winding parts to reach.
• After doing this, take the opportunity to sanitize and disinfect the interior of the washing machine. It is recommended to start a vacuum washing cycle at 90 ° C.

In this way, the basket of the appliance will be shiny and at the same time the formation of mold will be avoided. It is a quick and easy way to clean the washing machine. However, in order not to cause a corrosive risk, the frequency of this cleaning must be well dosed. It is recommended to do this occasionally during the year.

Good to know: not making the mistake of leaving the washing machine door closed after a washing cycle is also the best way to attract mold and bad smells. Always leave it slightly open after washing, to allow air to circulate and thus prevent the proliferation of germs. This will significantly reduce the development of wet odors. Especially during the warmer months. Another mistake to avoid is to leave the laundry in the basket too long at the end of a cycle. By emptying the car as soon as possible, you will avoid mold odors that stick to your clothes and force you to wash them a second time.
