The habits to take to maintain your washing machine repair service on a daily basis





We already give you all the practical tips for maintaining your washing machine repair service on a daily basis on our Good Tips blog. The idea here is rather to teach you the right behaviors to adopt on your side when you start laundry. So let’s take a look together at the good habits and reflexes to adopt on a daily basis:

Check your pockets before each machine

When you load your washing machine repair service, don't forget to check all the pockets of your clothes (jeans, shirts, jackets, etc.). It is important to make sure that there are no small objects or even tissues left in your pockets.



Indeed, objects such as coins, keys, paper clips, etc. can damage the drum of your washing machine repair service and ultimately affect its proper functioning. Ditto for paper tissues, as they decompose, they form micro particles which in the long term can clutter the interior of your device.

Stuck objects

The second piece of advice linked to the first, regularly check that no object is stuck inside your washing machine repair service. The most critical area being between the drum and the door. The objects mentioned above sometimes tend to get stuck in this area. If you don't check regularly, they can therefore damage your washing machine repair service over several cycles.

Avoid overdoses

Before starting a new machine, make sure you don't overdose on your amount of detergent. This will not have the effect of washing your laundry better but will on the contrary clog up your appliance much more quickly.



Conversely, we advise you to dilute your detergent with a little water to avoid this kind of problem. You can also add a little white vinegar and a few drops of essential oil instead of your fabric softener. This will not only allow you to diffuse a good smell on your laundry but also and above all to maintain your washing machine repair service with each wash.

Between two washes

We also advise you to always leave the door of the washing machine repair service open between two washes. Indeed, this has a triple advantage: evacuating humidity and preventing mold and premature wear of the seals. If you leave your door constantly closed, the seals will not have time to dry properly and will deteriorate more quickly. It's also best to leave your detergent drawer slightly ajar between washes. This will also allow it to dry faster. However, be careful not to drop anything in it. If so, the object could land directly in the tub of your washing machine repair service and be very difficult (if not impossible) to recover.

The importance of hot cycles

We are well aware that cold washes are more ecological but we recommend that you wash at least once a month at high temperatures (between 60 and 90°C). This will remove any detergent residue that accumulates in the tub of your washing machine repair service.
