However, scum is not the only problem with washing machines. Fungus and mold are enemies number two. In addition, it is impossible to avoid the owner and the external pollution of the "stiralki". Therefore, sooner or later you will need to clean the washing machine.
Scouring from scum
Citric acid is a very effective tool for cleaning TEN from the incrustation. The machine should be scrolled in idle, adding a little cleanser to the citric acid. This method is much cheaper and not less effective. With the help of citric acid, cleaning the washing machine is very easy, for this you need to put 200 grams of citric acid in the laundry compartment and turn on the program for boiling, while the temperature should be turned on at the maximum. This mode will allow citric acid to clean not only the heating device, but also the surface of the washing compartment itself. Entering a scum in a chemical reaction, citric acid dissolves the salt, thanks to which the heating device is also cleaned.
A greater effect will give a clean addition of 200 grams of whiteness (bleach). In this case, it is necessary for the time set by the washing machine to open all the windows in the house in order to ventilate the room as much as possible, in large quantities, acrid fumes of chlorine are irritating to the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract. Thanks to such a cleaning machine, your will acquire a pristine shine and the laundry, washed afterwards in the machine, will not have an unpleasant shade, which is a sign of dilapidation. It is recommended to clean the machine in this way two months once. However, this method has one negative point - together with the destruction of scale citric acid, the parts of the washing machine made of rubber can also corrode.
Filters for water
There are other ways to clean the washing machine - this is a physical method, based on the use of various devices, softening the water. For example, you can use a filter-softener and a converter of water, which are installed on water pipes.
To remove magnesium and calcium salts from water, it is possible to use a magnetic softener, thereby preventing the deposition of scale on the TEN and on the walls of the tank. These softeners are intended for the cleavage of molecular salts by the action of the strongest magnets. By heating the water treated in this way, you will protect your machine from unpleasant consequences, such as calcification of scale.
But this method also has a disadvantage, which is expressed in a high price. However, the merits of it justify themselves by their simplicity and suitability. So, having this device in the house, you will protect yourself from the problems caused by the hardness of the water.
There is another means that softens the water - it is a filter for mechanical water purification, with a removable cartridge (sedimentary water filter) .It is used to purify water from all kinds of impurities (rust, sand, etc.) .With this device, you avoid clogging of pipes, wear and breakage of household appliances.
The amount of scale on the surface of the heating element depends directly on the temperature of the water heating. This point is taken into account by the manufacturers of washing machines, which are developing new and new programs for washing, working with heating the water to only 40-50 ° C. Thus, such programs allow not only to prevent the formation of the energy, but also to save considerable energy. The load with which the washing machine works, greatly affects the life of the heater.
Heating elements collect scales much more intensively when washing old products. This is due to the fact that the grain particles of the worn-out fabric create a kind of soil, which is favorable for deposits of calcareous deposits. At the moment, a lot of washing powders are produced, which are manufactured in a counterfeit way, and they contribute to the rapid wear of not only the heating element, but the entire machine.
How to fungus and mold in a washing machine
A very serious problem for the washing machine is the appearance in it of black fungus and mold, from which it is necessary as soon as possible to get rid of. At the first sign of the appearance of mold, the entire inner surface of the washing machine should be wiped with a solution of soda. How to cook it? Just stir the soda with water in the same proportions. In case this tool did not help, use household chemical products.
For these purposes, take any chlorine-containing mysedesedstvo, add it to the machine and put on a half-hour boiling. Usually, fungal spores can easily be eliminated with chlorine. You can also use the available vitriol. If none of the above means has brought the desired result, it is necessary to replace the fungal-damaged elements of the washing machine with new ones in order to prevent its spread throughout the apparatus. A qualified specialist can do this work.
Cleaning the outside of the washing machine
Clean the outside of the machine with a soap solution or any other soft product. Never use chlorinated chemicals and solvents for this purpose. Your washing machine will remain in excellent condition and will look new only when used during its cleaning of soft substances. After completely cleaning your machine of all kinds of dirt, wipe it with a soft cloth and dry it.
