Those who do this on their washing machine will save more than 10 thousand TL in expenses!

Washing machines that constantly circulate water can become covered with limescale over time. In this context, experts recommend using rock salt and apple cider vinegar to clean calcified machines.

Washing machines, which constantly use water due to their structure, can become calcified in a short time if regular maintenance is not carried out. While this situation causes the machine to malfunction over time, it can cause expenses exceeding 10 thousand liras and put a strain on the family budget. For this reason, experts state that throwing two handfuls of large rock salt into the drum of the machine and adding half a liter of apple cider vinegar to the detergent dispenser creates a natural corrosive and mineral-dissolving effect.

By operating the machine at high temperatures, rock salt melts, changing the ionic structure of the water and increasing the solubility of lime. Apple cider vinegar helps remove dissolved lime from drain pipes more easily. Thus, while lime blockages in the discharge pipes are removed, the water discharge performance of the machine is also improved. A MIXTURE OF BORAX AND VINEGAR PREVENTS BAD ODOR For those who want to provide effective hygiene as well as lime cleaning, experts recommend sprinkling a glass of borax into the drum of the machine and adding a glass of white vinegar to the detergent section and starting the machine.

While borax softens the hardness of water, it turns into a powerful lime remover when combined with vinegar. It also helps eliminate bad odors and sterilize the internal parts by breaking down the mold and bacteria that accumulate inside the machine. LIME CLEANING IS BEING DONE In addition, for the maintenance of machines that experience less calcification, experts recommend putting a few lemon and orange peels in a mesh bag, tying it tightly and then placing it in the drum.

A glass of white vinegar should be added to the detergent compartment. Thanks to this method, lime cleaning is supported, while hot water softens the lime by releasing the natural oils and acids found in citrus peels.
