Brilio.net - Nowadays, many people rely on washing machines to clean clothes because of their efficiency in saving time and energy. Washing machines not only make the washing process easier, but are also often equipped with a clothes drainer or dryer feature, making them a very practical tool.
Despite frequent use, washing machines can last for years if properly maintained. Proper maintenance not only extends the life of the machine but also ensures that clothes are washed cleanly and effectively. One of the important steps in washing machine maintenance is to clean it regularly.
Cleaning your washing machine regularly can eliminate the musty odor that often arises from humidity. This odor is not only annoying, but it can also stick to the clothes being washed. This experience was experienced by Instagram user @mamiemanda, who found that cleaning her washing machine regularly helped overcome the odor problem.
"Sometimes, even though it's been deep cleaned, there's still a musty smell. Or the laundry isn't dried immediately, even if it's 30 minutes late, when you open it, it still smells like that," said Instagram user @mamiemanda.
Tricks to remove musty smells from washing machines.Not remaining silent, the Instagram user admitted to using a special trick to get rid of the musty smell in the washing machine with one kitchen ingredient. Reported by brilio.net from Instagram @mamiemanda on Saturday (2/15), the kitchen ingredient in question is lemon. To clean a medium-sized washing machine , she only uses one lemon.
To get maximum results, the Instagram user does not only rely on lemon. He also uses toothpaste as an additional ingredient. So, after the lemon is cut in half, just apply enough toothpaste to each piece of lemon.

Next, put these two slices of lemon into the washing machine. After that, close and turn on the washing machine as usual (just like when washing clothes). Well, the citrus aroma of the lemon will neutralize the musty smell in the washing machine. In addition, the use of toothpaste will also strengthen the citrus aroma of the lemon. That way, the musty smell can be completely gone.

Once done, open the washing machine. Then take and throw away the lemon that has turned into pulp (because the water is gone). After that, wipe the inside of the lemon with a cloth while rubbing and scrubbing it a little. At this stage, make sure the inside of the washing machine is completely dry, okay?
Then the last step, leave the washing machine in an open condition for a few hours so that it is not damp. If you get maximum results, do this method once a week, okay.
