Using Home Remedies
To clean the washing machine, you can use not only special products. There are also home remedies. There are quite a lot of them.Let's try to figure out which of them are really effective.
Citric acid is an effective means of getting rid of scale. To clean the equipment from scale, you need to pour 150 - 200 grams of this substance into the drum or powder tray.
Next, you need to start the longest washing mode with a water temperature of 60 degrees. Then you need to wait until the washing cycle is over. After turning off the washing machine, you need to clean the drain filter from scale. Next, you need to wipe the cuff and remove the remaining scale from it.
Instead of the above-described home remedy, you can also use nine percent table vinegar. To clean the washing equipment, you need to pour a glass of table vinegar into the powder receptacle and start the longest washing cycle, with a water temperature of 90 degrees.
- In order for the vinegar to be removed as best as possible, you can also select an additional rinse. Vinegar, as you know, has a pungent odor. Therefore, it is rarely used to clean washing equipment from scale.
- Advantages of mechanical cleaning
Mechanical cleaning of the washing machine from scale is the most effective. It has the following advantages:
When manually cleaning the machine elements, scale does not remain inside it, which cannot be said about cleaning with special means. When using chemicals, there is a chance that large pieces of scale will remain in the machine tank after they fall off the heating element.
