Here&#8217;s how to clean it in a few steps. That&#8217;s the only way it&#8217;s like new again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some expert tips for <strong>cleaning the dirty and smelly washer gasket<\/strong>. If you put these remedies into practice, <strong>your clothes will be very scented.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scented clothes in a few steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who doesn&#8217;t like to <strong>always wear clean clothes but above all perfumed<\/strong> ? However, sometimes it seems that our <strong>washing machine<\/strong> does not perfectly perform the functions for which it was created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have also hung <strong>clothes with a not exactly pleasant smell<\/strong> despite the correctly set washing schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How can such a situation occur? You may not know it, but many times <strong>it&#8217;s also the detergent you use that isn&#8217;t good<\/strong>. It is true that you spend a lot of money every day to make sure <strong>you have the best products<\/strong> and many times they are the ones that cause problems and not only for your clothes but also for the washing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know that <strong>some ingredients can spoil the metal components of our appliance<\/strong> ? If we do not take care of our washing machine carefully, it is likely that in a short time it will end up breaking down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, <strong>smelly clothes<\/strong> often also depend on <strong>dirt<\/strong> that accumulates on a part of the appliance that is almost never cleaned, i.e. <strong>the gasket<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try to look closely <strong>at the internal rubber of the washing machine<\/strong>: if you do not wash it periodically, you will surely find it <strong>dirty and smelly<\/strong>. Here is <strong>the remedy<\/strong> that will save your appliance and especially your clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to clean dirty and smelly washing machine joints<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your <strong>washing machine gives off a strong smell of dirt and mildew after each wash<\/strong>, <strong>its internal gasket is most likely dirty or even moldy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you do not periodically clean <strong>the rubber<\/strong> of your appliance you will have <strong>a laundry that will never smell fresh and clean<\/strong>. Although our clothes and the components of the washing machine themselves are in direct contact with <strong>detergents<\/strong> and various products, every time we set up a washing program, cleanliness is not necessarily guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, <strong>a lot of dirt and mold accumulates<\/strong> on the <strong>drum rubber<\/strong>. The rubber of this appliance has been created in order to <strong>prevent water from escaping during washing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good <strong>maintenance<\/strong> is necessary not only to prevent clothes from smelling, but also to ensure that the washing machine stays running for as long as possible. <strong>The best cure is always prevention<\/strong>. Start acquiring these <strong>two habits<\/strong> that will surely come in handy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>After each wash, dry the washer seal with a microfiber cloth;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leave the door open for at least 30 minutes<\/strong> to allow the internal metal components to dry from the water: this way you will prevent mold and dirt from forming inside the seal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that <strong>at least once a month you should carefully clean the rubber of your appliance<\/strong>. In this sense, we want to show you <strong>a remedy<\/strong> that will surely come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s <strong>a natural recipe<\/strong> that you won&#8217;t be able to do without. To make your own <strong>cleanser<\/strong> you need to get <strong>250ml of water, a tablespoon of baking soda and 50ml of white vinegar.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_464575\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Pulizia-guarnizione-lavatrice.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-464575\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procedure is very easy. We advise you <strong>to do it with the washing machine turned off<\/strong>, checking that nothing has accumulated on the seal of your appliance such as <strong>socks, tissues or hairpins.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spray the natural cleanser you made <strong>all over the gum and even internally. <\/strong><strong>Dampen a microfiber cloth<\/strong> and thoroughly clean the eraser from top to bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Then remove all excess water and leave the washing machine door open<\/strong> until the solution you cleaned <strong>the rubber<\/strong> with is perfectly dry. If you notice <strong>black dots<\/strong> inside the <strong>joint<\/strong>, it&#8217;s likely that <strong>mold<\/strong> has built up there. Again, you can still make <strong>an amazing recipe to solve the problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a fairly large graduated glass, pour <strong>2 liters of water, 60 ml of lemon juice and 250 ml of hydrogen peroxide<\/strong>. Spray this compound inside the seal and leave the product on for at least <strong>30 minutes<\/strong> &#8211; you will see that the mold will disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then dry everything with a clean cloth. Take the opportunity to also clean <strong>the detergent drawer and the drum<\/strong>. Then <strong>schedule a long wash at 90 degrees<\/strong> without introducing any product into the tub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Then dry the rubber<\/strong> once more and leave the washing machine door open. If you follow these tips you will see that you will always have <strong>a clean and perfect seal<\/strong> and above all you will guarantee a long life to your trusted appliance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dirty and smelly washer seal?
