How to clean the washing machine filter, if you do it you save twice as much on your bills

Cleaning the washing machine filter, how to do it

At this point  we open  the filter cover . We should see a  black pipe  laid out on one  side . This pipe is normally needed to  hold the water so that it  does not  spill onto the floor  when  we unscrew the filter . We then remove the  cap  from the pipe in question and  let the water flow into  the  basin , after which we can  close it again .

Once this is done,  we unscrew the filter  very gently  clockwise . If this operation is  difficult ,  scale has  probably formed in the  filter , so we can use a  dry cloth  to  unscrew it . Once  unscrewed , we can  wash the filter with hot  water and   gently  remove all the limescale  and  dirt  inside  .

Deep degreasing

If   our washing machine  filter has not been thoroughly cleaned  for some time, we will need to  degrease it thoroughly.  To do this, simply  dilute white vinegar  ,  soap  and  water  in  a bowl, then let   the  filter soak  for  half an hour . Speaking of white vinegar, for  proper maintenance  and  deep cleaning  of the  washing machine , it is advisable to run an  empty wash cycle  at least  once a month  after pouring  vinegar into it .

Coming back to  cleaning the filter,  we can also  disinfect  the  housing  last. To do this we can  take a cloth  and pass it over the  walls  of the  cork , perhaps using a  finger  or  the handle of a spoon . Finally, we can  close the filter .

Regular cleaning  of  the washing machine filter carried out in this way will ensure a   clean and  disinfected washing machine  and avoid many  breakdowns and malfunctions,  saving you  considerably .
