Why wash and clean the washing machine if it already regularly contains hot water, detergents, and the washing process takes place?
Few people know, but detergents are not completely washed out of the machine after rinsing. Powder particles remain on the tank walls, doors and rubber seals. If you do not rinse or wash the washing machine, the rubber seal will accumulate in the cells of the remains of soapy water, and when it stagnates, microbes will multiply in it, providing an unpleasant smell.
To prevent this, every six months it is necessary to wash the most washing machine.

Take 2 tbsp. canteen vinegar and fill in the machine. Run the longest wash cycle with the highest water temperature. As soon as the process started washing, and the water has taken up and mixed with the vinegar, pause the machine so that the vinegar vapor softens the layer of dirt. One hour is enough for this.
After an hour, unpause the washing machine and let it finish washing. Immediately after that, start a short wash cycle without adding anything else. The water will wash away any residual vinegar and dirt.
