Washing machine cleaners

washing machine cleaner Many modern automatic washing machines are designed so that they can work without any technical malfunction for many years. At the same time, the user often does not even look into the powder tray or into the drum, mechanically fall asleep for the detergent and lay the laundry, without thinking about the technical condition of the home assistant. And then the day comes when the cuff of the hatch and the inside of the drum are covered with dirt and mold, and the car starts to smell like sewers. In this case, a cleaner for washing machines can help, which we will discuss in this article.

Is it often necessary to clean the machine?

A washing machine is a very necessary thing in the household. Some housewives start automatic washing almost every day, but often forget that home care needs care. Our specialists are often contacted by users of washing machines who complain of some technical malfunction of the “home assistant” and ask the master for a home. The master comes and cannot hide the horror, because only a true barbarian is able to bring the washing machine to such a state.

On the cuff weighs a piece of scale 5 cm in size, and around the "fringe" of black mold.
Black mold covered the inside of the drum.
The garbage filter was clogged up with crumpled hair and dirt, apparently the owners did not know about its existence, since for 8 years of operating the machine it had never been unscrewed.
A persistent scent of sewers stretches from the hatch.

The complaint of the users of the washing machine concerned the slow discharge of water. For half an hour the master physically cleaned the hoses, nozzles and the trash filter. He took out the heating element, cleaned it of scale and dirt, and then through the hole under the heater he pulled out about half a kilogram of dirt and foreign objects from the tank. After physical cleaning, the master decided to carry out dry cleaning with Dr. Beckmann.

If the washing machine is already heavily soiled, either physical cleaning combined with chemical cleaning or multiple chemical cleanings with the help of special cleaners will help to cope with the problem.

After all these manipulations, the machine began to drain and warm water normally. The extraneous odor has almost disappeared, and most of the dirt and mold has been removed. As a result, the master advised the owners not to start the washing machine anymore. The recommendation was to dry clean the washer with Dr. Beckmann and other similar products, at least once every 6 months.

This example illustrates the situation when people treat the washing machine more than negligently. Lean and accurate hostess: washing the cuff

after each washing, the garbage filter is twisted, removing dirty water, hair and other muck from there;
every six months arranges a washing machine for general dry cleaning using a special tool;
after each wash, leaves the hatch open and the powder tray pulled out in order to dry the washing machine and prevent mold from developing;
after each washing, a cloth wipes the cuff of the hatch of the washing machine, the inside of the powder tray and the rubber around the trash filter;
takes out and rinses the powder tray once every two weeks.
