The washing machine makes too much foam, how to fix the disaster

Excess detergent can stain clothes, so it performs the opposite function to that for which it is indicated. And that’s not all, because too much detergent can cause damage to fabrics, even holes and impregnate the clothes and the drum with a bad smell. You must always respect the indicated doses, without exaggerating. Better a little less than more.

To eliminate the foam in the drum we can act in different ways. For example, we can pour coarse kitchen salt into the detergent tray, or interrupt the cycle, open the door and pour the coarse salt directly, restarting the program. Salt performs a cleaning action, removes stains from clothes, softens fabrics and also combats the formation of limescale.

Otherwise, we can use white vinegar, just fill the detergent tray with vinegar and start the rinse. The vinegar will absorb the foam, neutralizing the detergent residues. Also in this case, we can pour the vinegar directly into the drum, say a liter, and start the wash cycle at 90°, to eliminate bad smells
