Why clean and disinfect your washing machine inside
Imagine putting your clothes in the washing machine and coming out with stains.
Sounds crazy, right?
Well, it could happen if the hygiene of your appliance is not adequate.
Yes, bacteria or mold can appear that generate bad odor and stains.
And that does not give a good image of your business.
It is not at all hygienic for the clients of your laundry, your campsite, and much fewer establishments such as hotels, hospitals, and restaurants.

Take note of these advantages:
Your clients are happier with your services because the clothes they wash come out spotless or the clothes in your establishment (sheets, tablecloths, towels, etc.) are impeccable.
Your appliance works better because there is no fluff or globs of detergent.
You save up to 20% on your electricity bill.
When you take care of any device you extend its useful life.
The washing machine is no exception.

When should you clean the washing machine?
Cleaning the washing machine is different for each piece:
Wash the filter every 3 months (lint and detergent residue can accumulate).
Wash the rubber every month (it is the favorite place for mold).
Wash the drum every 6 months, except if you wash clothes for sick people or medical professionals (there the frequency should be almost daily).
Clean and disinfect the washing machine also after introducing clothes contaminated with pesticides, chemical products, or toxic products.
Next, we teach you how to clean each part inside the washing machine.
Let's go there.

You can clean the inside of the washer with vinegar or chlorine bleach.
In both cases, you must do it with the washing machine empty.
Cleaning with vinegar is what our mothers have done at home all their lives.
It is a natural method (without chemicals) and very effective even for industrial equipment because it eliminates limescale and soap residue.
Pour a glass of wine, apple, or cleaning vinegar into the detergent box.
Program a medium or long-duration wash (never short) at a temperature of at least 60ºC.
Let the vinegar act and that's it. A subsequent rinse is not even necessary because the washing machine cycle does it by itself.
You can also use chlorine bleach (sold in supermarkets).

The steps are very similar:
Add the bleach to the drum (follow the instructions on the container, since the amount varies depending on the brand).
Select a wash cycle of medium or long duration at the highest temperature of your machine.
Let the washing machine complete the cycle.
Select a new wash cycle, this time rinse and spin to get rid of any remaining bleach.
And ready.
Let's go for more.
The rubber of the washing machine is the place where the most dirt accumulates.
That's where mold is most likely to appear.
We recommend using a mixture of 50 ml of vinegar, 250 ml of water, and 1 tablespoon of baking soda.

Follow these steps:
Unplug the washing machine.
Check that there is no object stuck in the rubber.
Moisten a cloth in the mixture that we have told you about and rub the rubber well.
Take another rag and use it to dry well.
The filter is the place where traces of detergent, lint, and small objects that you carry in your clothes (coins, clips, etc.) end up.
Cleaning it is very easy:
Unplug the washing machine.
Place some towels on the floor (when you open it, it will surely lose water).
Open the filter.
Remove with your hands any objects that have remained or larger lint remains.
Clean the filter with soap and water.
Dry it well and put it back in its place.
The bad smell is a symptom that your washing machine has bacteria or mold.
Fortunately, there are several very simple solutions:
Add a disinfectant or sanitizing product that they sell in supermarkets (you just have to follow their instructions).
Clean the washing machine with chlorine bleach, as we have explained to you before.
If you prefer natural solutions, clean the washing machine with vinegar as we have explained above. Then, place a bowl with baking soda and leave it for approximately 12 hours to absorb the bad smell.
Here are some extra tips for cleaning and disinfecting your washing machines:
Leave the door of the washing machine open after each use so that it airs out and mold does not appear.
Clean the detergent drawer with vinegar or soap and water from time to time.
Don't overload the washing machine.
Never mix vinegar with bleach to clean the washing machine because toxic gases are produced that can burn your eyes and respiratory tract.
With these little tricks, your washing machines will live longer, work better and your clothes will come out perfect.
