Go Greener Tips

Washer is more than useful part of our home Elektronik product. We can say it is an inalienable part of our everyday life. If you have a washing machine no matter front or up loader you need to know how to care about it and clean it in a proper way.

Your washing machine also needs your attention. When you wash muddy clothes and smelly socks, the dirt and smelly is left in your washer. This adds up to the oil residues of your detergent and the minerals from your water.

Let me tell you more about easier methods in cleaning a washing machine. A few ingredients in your kitchen will work just fine.

Step 1: Clean first the tub of your Washer. Use baking soda and a clean abrasive sponge. Scrub the tub with baking soda and make sure you get rid of the residues off the walls of the tub. Check the drainage system for accumulated residues too.

You can substitute baking soda with lemon and table salt. Slice one lemon, use on half and dip it in salt. Scrub it on the tub walls.

Step 2: Once you are done scrubbing the tub walls, run an empty hot water cycle. Let it end running the cycle and make sure it drains off in a proper way. Now you can use another hot water cycle but add a cupful of white vigour. Finish the cycle and drain off.

Step 3: Check the lint filter and remove accumulated lint. Also check the drainage system for clogged lint. Remove anything that may disrupt the flow of water.

Step 4: Wipe the exterior of the washer with mixed water, white vinegar and baking soda. Any stains on the exterior of the washer should come right off.

Step 5: Once everything is clean, you can wipe the inside and the outside with a clean cotton towel. Leave the tub door open for an hour or so to let air circulate inside and the dry the washer naturally.

Some people use bleach in cleaning their washers. While this can completely clean the washer, it is not good for the environment. If you have milder cleaning components at home like those mentioned earlier, opt for them instead of bleach.

Also, decline from using too much detergent as this will just cause more detergent oil to accumulate on the washer tub. If you are using a high efficiency washer, a little should go a long way.

So here are the ways on how you can clean a used washer. Make sure you “bathe” your washer once a week so you can keep it in top shape and you can prevent washer odor, which is a usual case for washing machines, from developing.
