It seems that washing machines are breaking down pretty quickly after the warranty period. There is one way to avoid this, though. But nobody knows about it.

We’ve accepted that our appliance is going to stop working soon after the warranty period and we’ll have to get a new one. Back then, we had a washing machine, vacuum cleaner or blender for decades. There are ways to make appliances last longer. We’ll show you how to properly care for your washing machine.

A washing machine is a must-have for many of us.

It’s something we can’t imagine living without. It’s not unusual for multiple households or households with young children to use the washing machine several times a day or several evenings a week. If you look after your washing machine from the moment you buy it, it’ll reward you by staying in good working order for a long time. The first thing you should do is give it a regular clean. The biggest threat to your washing machine is likely to be detergent residue.

It’s important to keep your washing machine in good shape.

It’s easy to forget the simple things like sorting the laundry, pouring the powder and turning on the washing machine. We should be just as mechanically and naturally concerned with washing machine maintenance. The dirt that builds up inside isn’t just the cause of poor-quality laundry; it can also damage your washing machine. It’s important to clean your washing machine regularly. Modern appliances already have their own drum cleaning programme.

What to clean your washing machine with:

One of the best, cheapest and easiest ways to clean your washing machine is with vinegar. Just pour 2 dcl of vinegar directly into the washing machine drum and then turn on the self-cleaning or high temperature programme. This will get rid of odours and mould and all dirt will be removed from the washing machine. It’s a good idea to give your washing machine a vinegar bath a few months apart.
