Washing Machine Maintenance: How to Keep It Clean and Efficient Washing machines are a convenience most of us cannot live without. They do save us time and effort, making our lives a breeze. The washing machine is no different from other appliances and also requires regular maintenance so that it can work smoothly and efficiently. In case they are not properly attended to, they slowly become ineffective, develop bad odors, or even break down prematurely. Keeping that in mind, here is a general guideline with essential washing machine maintenance tips to help you keep your appliance in tip-top condition. Maintenance of Washing Machines Matters Regular maintenance is required to allow the washing machine to work efficiently and have a long life. A washing machine that is properly maintained will remove dirt better from clothes, use less energy, and cost you less to clean your clothes. Here are several reasons washing machine maintenance is so important - Better Efficiency - A clean machine will operate more smoothly with less water and energy. Improved Cleaning Performance: Without regular maintenance, there will be significant deposits in the system which might even affect the washing process. Extended Life Span - With proper care, the machine will serve you for a longer period than you can imagine and certainly prove to be cost-effective on your wallet in the long run. Preventing Odors - Regular cleaning of the machine will prevent it from developing musty smells and molds. • • • • How to Clean Your Washing Machine? Cleaning the Drum Gradually, residues of detergents, fabric softeners, and dirt accumulate in the drum. To maintain cleanliness - Run a washing machine cleaner or a mixture of white vinegar and baking soda through an empty hot water cycle to remove residue. Always leave the door open after every wash so the drum may dry out and mold does not grow. Rub the drum with a clean cloth to rid the surface of remaining scum. • •
Clean the Detergent Drawer Detergent and fabric softener may accumulate in the drawer, leading to mold and mildew. To clean it - Take out the detergent drawer and soak it in warm, soapy water. Use a small brush to scrub through all compartments. Rinse thoroughly and let dry before inserting back. • • Clean the Door Seal The door seal can capture water, dirt, and detergent and can make molds. Keep it up - Wipe the door seal by using a clean damp cloth regularly to free from residues and moisture. You can, as always, do so by wiping the seal using a vinegar-water mix and drying it using a towel. • • Clean the Filter Your lint, coins, and other debris from your laundry are collected here. You should empty it for better airflow. Check in the manual for the location of the filter; generally, it's at the bottom of the machine on the front side. Take out the filter and rinse it under running water. In case some stubborn dirt does not come off, you can use a brush. Place the filter back securely. • • Clean the Exterior Also, maintain the outside part of your washing machine by - Wiping the Exterior - Use a cloth dampened in water to wipe the outside, the control panel, and the door. Avoid Strong Chemicals - Use mild detergents to avoid damaging the surface. • • Regular Maintenance Tips Besides cleaning, regular maintenance can ensure your washer keeps running well -
Check Hoses - Visually inspect the hoses every month for kinks, wear, tears, bulges, or cracks. Replace hoses every 3-5 years, or immediately upon discovery of a problem. Be sure the connecting fixtures are tight and properly fitted. • Unlevel Machine - A washing machine that is not level can be the cause of extreme vibrations and noise. Level the machine by checking the feet with a spirit level and adjusting them. • Using the Right Detergent - Stick to the recommended amount of detergent because using too much or using the wrong type will result in build-up or subpar performance of the equipment. Adhere to the manufacturer's instructions for the best results. • Avoid Overloading - Too much loading on your washer puts too much load on the motor, leading to a decrease in its efficiency. Always follow the manufacturer's load capacity instructions. • Run Regular Maintenance Cycles - Most modern washing machines come with a maintenance or drum clean cycle. Use this feature once a month to keep your machine in good condition. • Leaking Water - The most probable cause of a leak is from loose hose connections, damaged door seals, or overloading. Inspect hoses and seals for damage, making sure they are well connected. Avoid overloading the machine. • Awful Smell - If you feel your washing machine has an awful smell, then have a cleaning cycle with a washing machine cleaner or even vinegar with baking soda. You must clean the drum, seal, and detergent drawer quite often. • Conclusion Keeping the washing machine clean and maintained is the key to its durability and long service life. In this, way the washing machine can last, and last long, continuing to give clean and fresh washes: your laundry will always be clean and fresh. Uncommon maintenance tips, general cleaning, good detergent practice, and routine checking keep at bay the common problems that come along with these kinds of machines.
