Your washing machine is full of bacteria - clean it easily with one surprising ingredient from your kitchen

We rely on our washing machine to do miracles and get rid of the unpleasant smells and stains on our clothes. But we hardly ever think that the washing machine itself should be cleaned every now and then.

Think how much dirt the washer collects from all your dirty clothes. And no matter how much you'd want to, not all germs and bacteria disappear during the wash - and, frankly, these germs just stay there, inside the machine.

I don't remember when it was the last time I cleaned the washing machine. But the truth is, I just didn't know how to do it - until now.

There is a very simple and straightforward method that solves the problem easily and quickly.

Instead of spending a lot of time trying to disinfect the washing machine, just go to the kitchen and take a dishwasher tablet. Just make sure the tablet is the kind that is not wrapped in nylon or plastic.

Then, just place the tablet where you usually put the powder or washing liquid.

Tune the machine to 60 degrees celcius and turn it on.

By the time the washing machine finishes working, it will be clean, shiny, and free of bacteria.

It is recommended to use this trick once every three months to keep the washing machine in optimal condition.
