Perhaps it is because of the fibers of a handkerchief forgotten in the pockets? But maybe you also have a pet at home that loses a lot of hair? Whatever the reason, these little pests are annoying in many ways: they stick to your freshly washed clothes, but mostly they end up damaging the filter and drum of the appliance over time. Rest assured, there is a very clever way to overcome this problem. Thanks to this grandma method, no fiber or hair will bother your clothes, and at the same time it will protect all the internal components of the washing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The little trick is very simple: before you start the wash cycle, slide a clear plastic bag into the drum right in the middle of your clothes. Any one will do, even the one you use to go shopping. Once inside, set up the washing machine as usual and run the program. When the wash cycle is over and you open the drum, you will notice that there is no longer even the shadow of a hair, hair or lint. Your clothes will come out perfectly clean and all the remains will be trapped in the plastic bag thanks to static electricity. And that&#8217;s not all: this great method also extends the life of the filter, since all this little dirt will no longer stick to it, it will remain fixed in the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"caption-attachment-369286\">Cleaning the washing machine filter \u2013 Source: spm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"comment-nettoyer-la-machine-a-laver-efficacement\">How to clean the washing machine effectively?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From now on, you will no longer wash your clothes without adopting this trick that will change your day to day. But, in addition to this beneficial method of use, it is essential to perform regular maintenance of your appliance. To expect an effective detergent and not alter the performance of the washing machine, it is important to clean its components frequently. And in particular the filter that is often put to the test!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specialists recommend cleaning it at least once every 2-3 months. How to do it at home? It&#8217;s not complicated: to start, take it out of the appliance and manually remove any remaining dirt that accumulates, in particular clothing fibers, hair or pet hair. Then wash it under running water. If you notice that it contains limescale due to limescale, do not hesitate to immerse it in a solution of water and alcohol vinegar in a 1:1 ratio. Allow the remedy to sit for 15 minutes, then scrub with a soft brush and proceed to rinse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the filter is clean and you put it back in the machine, wash the entire machine afterwards. For optimal cleaning, you can count on the cleaning, whitening, and deodorizing performance of white vinegar. Here&#8217;s how to do it: pour a cup of vinegar into the detergent drawer, then run an empty wash at the highest temperature (90\u00b0C).
