- Consequences of closing the door immediately:
1- If you close the washing machine door immediately after washing, the moisture trapped inside can lead to the formation of mould and bad odours, which in the long term can affect the performance and lifespan of the appliance. - Additional maintenance for a long-lasting washing machine:
1- Run a wash cycle with the machine empty at 90°C once a month, adding white vinegar or baking soda. This helps to eliminate germs, mould and residue, keeping the washing machine clean and efficient.
2- Clean the detergent compartment with warm water and a brush if necessary. Also, clean the rubber seals with a cloth soaked in white vinegar to eliminate bacteria and bad odours.
3- Clean the outside of the washing machine with a damp cloth, followed by a dry one to avoid water stains.
By following these tips, your washing machine will work better and last longer, as well as avoiding unnecessary expenses on repairs. In short, leaving the door open after each use is key to keeping your washing machine in optimal condition.
