DIY WASHING MACHINE CARE: Here’s How to Do It
For this natural and eco-friendly homemade washing machine cleaner, get:
- citric acid, 200 g
- distilled water, 1 liter
- Tea tree oil, 30 drops
- empty 1 liter bottle, 1
- funnel, 1
Using a funnel, transfer the distilled water into the empty bottle, add the drops of tea tree oil and citric acid. Close with the stopper and shake vigorously – you want to make sure that the citric acid grains dissolve completely. And here it is ready to use.
What do you have to give now? Simply put half of the solution into the washing machine drawer and set an empty cycle, with a temperature equal to or greater than 60°.
The substances transported have, in fact, a high degreasing power, but not only that, they are also able to dissolve limescale and prevent its formation. And again, they act as a natural antibacterial.
You can use the rest a second time, or use it to clean the basket and the seals, simply by moistening a sponge or cloth and passing it over the entire visible surface.
Repeat these operations once a month and you will ensure a perfectly functioning appliance over time, impeccable and fragrant laundry and thorough hygiene.
