Did you know that your washing machine has a discreet switch that can simplify its maintenance? By using it correctly, you can evacuate stagnant water, reduce unpleasant odors and improve the efficiency of your washing cycles.
Why clean your washing machine regularly?
Even when it is efficient, a washing machine accumulates detergent residue, lint and bacteria over time. These deposits can:
Reduce the effectiveness of the wash.
Cause unpleasant odours on your clothes.
Increase the risk of breakdowns.
Regular maintenance is therefore essential to maintain optimal hygiene and extend the life of your appliance.
Where is this switch and how do you use it?
On most washing machines, the switch is located in the lower right or left corner, behind a small, often discreet cover.
How do you activate it?
Open the cover: Use a coin or screwdriver to gently unlock the cover.
Activate the switch: Turn or pull the switch according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This will allow stagnant water to drain.
Clean the filter: Take advantage of this step to remove and wash the filter. The latter accumulates lint and debris, responsible for altering the cleanliness of clothes.
