To date, the trend is as follows - without a washing machine as without hands. She is a well-deserved leader among household appliances for housewives. The machine saves a lot of time. Women began to devote more time to their families, children and themselves.
In order for the machine to work properly for as long as possible, it is important to properly care for it.
Here are recommendations for the effective maintenance of an indispensable assistant.
Recommendation #1
The main rule that many neglect is to clog the drum of the washing machine to the top. Even if the laundry basket is full, you cannot wash it all in one go. The internal tank of the machine will suffer from improper loading, the bearings responsible for scrolling the drum may fail. Therefore, you should divide the wash into several "servings" with a difference of an hour. This time is needed for the machine to cool down from the previous work.
The second side of the issue is economic. Don't wash too little. No one will be pleased with receipts with a large bill. Running a washing machine with a small amount of clothes is simply unprofitable.
Here's what you need to be guided by when starting a wash. Separation by type of fabric:
• Cottons and linens can fill the drum almost to the top.
• Clothes made of synthetics - strictly half.
• If you are washing woolen clothes, the drum should be filled by a third.
Recommendation #2
It is worth taking as a basis the rule to check the pockets of clothes, external and internal, before washing.There are times when foreign objects get into the washing machine: keys, documents, small change, etc. All these objects clog it when they get into the drum. A sharp-edged button or other sharp object may break the heating element of the washing machine.
Therefore, it is recommended to wash clothes in special polyester bags. When choosing them, be guided by the size of the mesh. The smaller the holes, the better.
Recommendation #3
External care cannot be ignored. At least once a week, you should wipe the washing machine with a damp cloth and an alcohol-free detergent, and then wipe it dry.
In the event that the washing machine is built-in, then only the body should be removed in places where it is possible to reach.
A dangerous place to place equipment is the sink in the kitchen. In case of accidental ingress of water or liquid from food waste, a short circuit may occur. In this case, you can not avoid calling a mater to repair household appliances.
You need to keep an eye on other parts of the car. These include hoses, wires, a plug from an outlet, etc. Nothing should be broken or damaged.
Recommendation #4
In addition, you can not ignore the internal details. It is very important to clean the drawers. Every time after a long wash, they must be washed.
The container where the powder is added and the conditioner must be removed from the machine, rinsed thoroughly with water, add detergent to the sponge and clean the container. It is important to keep an eye on hard-to-reach places.Then it must be dried well so that mold does not form.
Periodically, you need to inspect the drum of the washing machine. Small clothes can stick to its walls, threads can catch on.
After washing, it is necessary to open the hatch for ventilation. This will get rid of unpleasant odors that can eat into clothes. It is worth wiping the rubber part of the hatch.
Recommendation #5

The use of water softeners is recommended. They are added during washing along with washing powder, or you can install special filters that convert water.
