Did you know that you can use a regular dish washing tablet to thoroughly clean your washing machine? In this article, we show you how to remove unpleasant odors and dirt with this simple trick.
Washing machines are essential helpers in everyday life, but we often forget about their regular maintenance. Dirt, detergent residues and scale can cause an unpleasant smell and reduce the efficiency of the machine. To prevent this, we present you a simple but effective way to clean your washing machine using a dishwashing tablet.
Step 1: Removal of mechanical particles
Remove any large particles such as hair and sand that accumulate in the drum rubber before cleaning with your hands.
Step 2: Cleaning the filter
Be sure to clean the filter at the bottom of the washing machine.
Step 3: Dishwasher Tablets
Place 2 dishwasher tablets in an empty drum (or just one). Set the washing machine to the highest possible temperature, at least 60 degrees Celsius, and let it wash the entire cycle. The tablets will help remove unpleasant odors and break down accumulated grease and dirt. Namely, tablets for the dishwasher have a strong degreasing power.

Alternative
If you want to take a more natural approach, use baking soda. Throw in half a cup of baking soda and turn on the hot wash. This will help kill bacteria and remove accumulated dirt. Add some white vinegar to the fabric softener drawer, so that it will disinfect in the last stage of washing what baking soda will not do.
Step 4: Cleaning the dosing drawer
If possible, remove the dosing drawer and soak it in alcohol vinegar or a mixture of water and Varicine. Use a toothbrush to clean hard-to-reach places. You can also wash it with dishes in the dishwasher, but do it at a lower temperature or eco program.
Step 5: Final rinse
Rinse the washing machine before the first wash of the empty one so that the detergents are really washed out of the machine.
Additional tips
- Check and clean your washing machine filter regularly.
- Occasionally use alcohol vinegar instead of fabric softener as this is a more environmentally friendly option.
- After each wash, leave the washing machine door open to allow the interior to dry and prevent mold growth.
Lubricate the rubber of the drum occasionally with glycerine to maintain its flexibility.
It is important to clean your washing machine regularly to ensure a longer life and keep your laundry clean and smelling fresh. This simple and effective trick using a dishwashing tablet will restore your washing machine to its shine and freshness.
And at the end! Don't let unpleasant odors and dirt reduce the efficiency of your washing machine. With this simple and affordable trick, you will be able to clean your washing machine easily and quickly, while ensuring that your laundry is always clean and smelling good.
