How long has it been since you cleaned your washing machine? Spend 5 minutes this weekend to flush out the grime

Basically, once the weekend arrives, one thing everyone is sure to do is laundry. Whether you are a working professional or a student, during the week you are too busy with work or school to find time for laundry, so you have to make use of the weekend to get it done. So even though it feels like we only use the washing machine once a week, there is actually quite a lot of dust hiding inside.

Those who go a long time without cleaning their washing machine should pay even more attention. The surface of the machine may look fairly clean, but the grime left behind from washing clothes is all hidden in places you cannot see. If you do not clean it in time, the washing machine can actually be dirtier than a toilet!

Being dirty is not a problem, as long as we are aware of it and just clean it properly. What we should worry about is not being aware of it at all, wearing clothes washed in the machine every day and still thinking they are clean! Huahua still recommends cleaning your washing machine every one to two months. If you use it fairly often, you can clean it once a month.

Different washing machines have different cleaning methods. Currently, washing machines are divided into top-loading (pulsator) washing machines and front-loading (drum) washing machines. Both types have their own cleaning methods. Below, Huahua will explain how to clean them.

Front-loading washing machines are not as easy to clean as top-loading ones. You need to use tools, find the outer casing of the drum washing machine, and then open the cover inside. At that point you will be able to see a lot of dirt. Since every household's washing machine is different, Huahua still recommends reading the manual yourself, finding the cleaning point of the washing machine, and then disassembling and cleaning it.

Follow the requirements in the manual, especially if you are cleaning your washing machine for the first time, so you do not break it while taking it apart.

Top-loading washing machines are relatively simpler. Top-loading washing machines currently still account for a fairly large proportion of public use, so they are used more often. When cleaning, you can first remove the lint filter box in the washing machine and clean it thoroughly. You can use a detergent specially made for cleaning washing machines, or you can use a universal cleaner that every household has: baking soda!

Mix baking soda with white vinegar and dilute it with clean water. Not only can it clean the washing machine thoroughly, but it can also play a sterilising role! It seems baking soda really is universal!

No matter which type of washing machine it is, cleaning it on schedule is quite important. After all, if the washing machine does not wash clean, how can our clothes be clean? And these two methods are actually not very troublesome. Take a little time each month to clean the washing machine, and your happiness index goes up, up, up!

Alright, do you all know how to carry out these two methods now? Take advantage of the weekend and give them a try!
