Brilio.net - Washing machines are one of the most frequently used household appliances every day. Over time, detergent residue and dirt from clothes can settle inside the washing machine.

This buildup of dirt can cause an unpleasant odor and make the laundry less clean. Apart from that, the performance of the washing machine can also decrease so that clothes are not washed optimally.

Unfortunately, not everyone has the time to thoroughly clean their washing machine. Especially if you have to disassemble the inside.

In fact, parts such as the washing machine drum and filter are often places where dirt accumulates that are difficult to reach. But don't worry, there is a practical way to clean the washing machine without the hassle of dismantling it.

In a TikTok account upload @poppy.zuaq, she shared a simple trick to clean a washing machine using only one kitchen ingredient, namely citric acid. Citric acid is known to be effective in removing scale, soap residue, and dirt that sticks inside the washing machine drum.

The first step, fill the washing machine with water to the maximum limit, then add citric acid to it. After that, run the washing machine as usual so that the water mixes with the citric acid and spreads throughout the drum.

The citric acid content in the solution will help dissolve detergent residue and dirt that sticks inside the washing machine. Let it sit overnight so that this solution works optimally in dissolving the dirt that has settled.

The next morning, the citric acid soaking water will change color because it lifts the dirt that was previously stuck inside the washing machine. Discard the water and rinse again with one round of clean water so that no citric acid residue is left behind. As a result, the washing machine is clean again without any extra effort.

To keep the washing machine durable and not easily dirty, there are several maintenance methods that can be done. Always clean the washing machine filter regularly, because dust and soap residue often accumulate. In addition, after washing clothes, leave the washing machine door open for a while so that the inside is not damp and moldy.

It is recommended to clean the washing machine with this method at least once a month, especially if it is used frequently every day. With regular maintenance, the washing machine will last longer, its performance will remain optimal, and the clothes will be cleaner without the risk of dirt accumulating again.
