and the formation of limescale in the pipes.&nbsp;There are some simple, quick and effective grandma tricks to eliminate those stubborn odors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clean the drum of your washing machine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The washing machine drum can transform into a real nest of moulds.&nbsp;The accumulation of detergent and limescale favors the proliferation of bacteria, which causes the appearance of a bad odor.&nbsp;To avoid this, it is recommended to clean it at least once a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do this, prepare a solution of water and white vinegar.&nbsp;Fill a spray bottle with said solution and spray it into the drum of your washing machine.&nbsp;Then soak a microfiber cloth in this solution before running it through the drum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White vinegar removes traces of limescale and neutralizes bad odors from the washing machine.&nbsp;This operation should be repeated at least once a month to disinfect the washing machine and absorb persistent odors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clean the seal on your washing machine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seal of your washing machine can also be the source of bad odors emanating from it.&nbsp;The formation of mold and the accumulation of detergent residues on washes, combined with humidity, favor the appearance of bad odors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To clean it, you will need to mix a few tablespoons of baking soda&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with a little water in a container until it forms a paste.&nbsp;Spread it inside the seal of your washing machine.&nbsp;Take an old toothbrush and use it to scrub the joint.&nbsp;Rinse everything, then scrub with a sponge soaked in white vinegar or lemon juice.&nbsp;Wipe with another damp cloth then dry with a microfibre cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can add a few drops of eucalyptus, thyme, or vanilla essential oil to mask the smell of vinegar if it bothers you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the ingredients used are natural and eco-friendly, care must be taken to protect your hands when handling.&nbsp;If your skin is sensitive, remember to put on gloves before you start cleaning the joint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, it is important to clean and dry the washer seal after each wash to eliminate soap residue and standing water.&nbsp;This will prevent the formation of mold and the appearance of bad odors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The filter in your washing machine can also be a source of bad odors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may have noticed this when you removed the filter from your washing machine.&nbsp;The latter tends to get dirty quickly and produce bad odors.&nbsp;To eliminate them, remember to clean the filter.&nbsp;To do this, you must first unplug the machine, remove the filter and let the water drain into a basin.&nbsp;Make sure you drain all the water from the machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the filter, it should be cleaned by immersing it in a mixture of water and white vinegar for a few hours so that it is as good as new.&nbsp;This mixture is very effective and less abrasive than bleach.&nbsp;It is necessary to renew the operation at least every three months to guarantee optimal maintenance of the filter and to remove bad odors throughout the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By regularly cleaning the various components of your washing machine&nbsp;&nbsp;, you will prolong its life and eliminate bad and persistent odors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might think that by running wash cycles, your washing machine must smell clean.&nbsp;Think again!&nbsp;Sometimes it happens that the latter emits strong unpleasant odors.&nbsp;Some even compare them to a sewer smell.&nbsp;Find out how to eliminate those stubborn odors emanating from your washing machine.
