If the detergent drawer is really dirty, follow these steps to do a thorough cleaning.
To do this, remove the tray and pour boiling water over it and clean it with a cloth soaked in white vinegar.
Then, put black soap on a sponge and pass it all over the tray.
If you don't have black soap, dishwashing liquid or Marseille soap will also work.
To be sure to reach the smallest corners, use an old toothbrush to scrub.
Finally, rinse with hot water and dry with a clean cloth.
Even if you put detergent in it for washing clothes, it is important to clean this little bin regularly.
Yes, there is always water that remains and stagnates. And detergents also leave greasy residues that end up moldy.
As a result, not only is there mold in your washing machine, but also bad odors are released. And it all ends up on your laundry... Yuck...
Do you know why there are detergent residues stagnating in the detergent drawer? Because we always put too much!
So it's better to put less detergent and use a homemade detergent that drains perfectly.
Thanks to its acid pH, white vinegar has a cleaning and disinfecting action.
It will directly attack the molds to eliminate them. It is also an excellent degreaser.
And that's good, because detergents often leave greasy deposits in the bin.
Black soap is also renowned for its degreasing properties.
Combined with white vinegar, it perfectly cleans and degreases the tank.
