In recent days, I have begun to notice an abundance of advice on the Internet that relates to cleaning the powder drawer in the washing machine. I don’t need such recommendations today, because my drawer has been preserved just perfectly, and the machine has been functioning properly for several years.
The only thing is that I have to periodically flush the air conditioner compartment, but it doesn’t take me much time. It is not difficult to wash it at all - it only requires a sponge and plain water.
Before I start washing, I pour the amount of washing powder I need directly into the drum . Yes, you read that right - I don't use a special powder compartment in the machine.
I started doing this after a not very pleasant incident happened to me (I didn’t immediately understand what happened and ran around the apartment in a panic): because of the powder, at one fine moment, the water drain hole closed and the entire floor in the bathroom was flooded water and I flooded my neighbors from below.
Then I had to deal with this problem and call the wizard, who found and eliminated the cause. Then I gave a good amount of money and was very upset. Perhaps the reason for this was poor-quality powder ....
You might think that if you throw powder into the drum of the machine, it will not have enough time to dissolve in water, but I can assure you that everything is not so bad in reality. I take a measuring spoon and measure the amount of powder I need and pour it into the drum. This is exactly the same amount I fell asleep earlier in a special compartment of the machine.
If it is so badly needed and you find that some of the powder is left on the clothes, you can use the extra rinse program. If there are few things and it is relatively small, then this mode is not needed. I usually turn on the extra rinse when I wash large items such as jackets and bedding.
Note: if the powder gathers in lumps, this is a sign of a high content of soda ash (it was for this reason that the trouble that I wrote to you about earlier happened to me) - pay attention to this item when choosing a product. Sometimes it is better to prefer the gel as an analogue to the powder.
I hope that my advice is useful to you and you no longer have to look for ways to clean the powder compartment in your washing machine!
