Rust on the washing machine, the remedy to solve: it comes back as if it were new

The formation of  rust  could, in addition to causing damage to our laundry, also create a danger for us and for the  washing machine  itself which could no longer work as before and become encrusted.

But there is a solution to eliminate traces of rust from the appliance in question once and for all   and this involves the use of simple objects that can be easily found.

First of all, before proceeding we need to wear a pair of  gloves,  preferably rubber and a  mask  that will protect us from the operation we are going to carry out later.

Rust on the washing machine: the method of removing it

Once we have put on gloves and a mask, we proceed, unplugging the  appliance  , to scrape the parts full of  rust  with a  sponge with steel bristles  until the metallic color comes out instead of the rust.

Subsequently, use an  abrasive metal sponge  to remove all remaining residues and stubborn rust and wipe with a cloth, preferably in microfibre due to its soft consistency, and clean the area thoroughly.

After letting everything dry for five minutes, being careful not to leave any traces of water, apply the paint using a  spray can  and leave to dry until it becomes one with the rest of the washing machine.

In this way, we will have our appliance as good as new and the  rust  will be just a distant memory as it has been removed and the parts on which it was placed have been repainted thanks to the spray.

However, the  washing machine  must also be cleaned inside and to do this, saving time, we can use white wine vinegar  which, in addition to releasing a pleasant smell, tends to disinfect our appliance.

Thanks to its antibacterial and antimicrobial action, it tends to eliminate   all  germs  and  bacteria from our washing machine  and prevent the formation of mold and rust that could arise due to having kept it closed after washing.

The  filter  of our  washing machine  must also be washed, this must be placed under running water and as for the most difficult to reach parts, just arm yourself with a  toothbrush  while the detergent tray can be washed by dismantling it and using a dish sponge.

In this way, we will have a washing machine that is always ready for use and impeccable which will last over time without having any signs of deterioration or rust but rather showing itself as new even if we purchased it a few years ago.
