Step-by-Step Instructions:
Empty the Machine:
Ensure your washing machine is completely empty of clothes or laundry.
Place the Tablet:
For front-loading machines: Place 1 tablet directly in the drum.
For top-loading machines: Drop 1 tablet into the drum. If it’s a larger machine, you can use 2 tablets.
Run a Hot Cycle:
Set your machine to the hottest and longest cycle available (usually 60°C/140°F or higher). This helps dissolve the tablet fully and maximizes its cleaning power.
Let It Work:
As the cycle runs, the dishwasher tablet will break down dirt, detergent buildup, and grime from the drum, hoses, and even hard-to-reach areas.
Wipe Down the Drum:
Once the cycle is complete, use a clean cloth to wipe down the drum, seals, and door to remove any loosened residue.
Clean the Filter (Optional):
If your machine has a filter, take this opportunity to remove and rinse it for a truly thorough clean.
Tips for Maintaining a Clean Washing Machine
Use This Hack Monthly: Repeat the dishwasher tablet method every month to keep your washing machine in top shape.
Leave the Door Open: After each wash, leave the machine door ajar to allow air circulation and prevent mold growth.
Run a Hot Cycle Regularly: Even without tablets, running an empty hot cycle occasionally helps prevent buildup.
By doing this one simple thing, you’ll keep your washing machine running efficiently, smelling fresh, and cleaning your clothes better. Say goodbye to hidden dirt and hello to a sparkling machine! 🧼✨
