How to thoroughly clean your washing machine to prevent it from leaving lint on your clothes: 3 foolproof tricks
The washing machine is one of the most useful appliances that can make household chores easier, especially when you have to wash quilts and duvets that become heavier when wet.

Correct cleaning and maintenance are essential to prolong the useful life of the washing machine. During cleaning, dirt and detergent residues are eliminated, which create a sort of thin film that traps bacteria, creating a perfect environment for the formation of bad odors.

Fill the washing machine with hot water, add 750 ml of white vinegar and run a short wash. Once the wash cycle is complete, add 150 grams of baking soda and run another.
