To make your washing machine last longer, you should take good care of it, and washing its parts is essential.
For example, you should clean a washing machine tray regularly.
Here are a few tips on how to do it.
Empty the Tray
Take out the detergent and fabric softener containers from the tray. Make sure there's no leftover liquid.
Remove Removable Parts
If the tray has removable parts, take them out. This might include small compartments or covers.
Wash with Soap and Water
Use a sponge or cloth with soapy water to wipe the tray. Clean all the surfaces, including corners and edges.
Check for Mold or Residue
Look closely for any mold or sticky residue. If you see any, scrub it away with a brush or an old toothbrush.
Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse the tray well with clean water to remove any soap or cleaning solution. Ensure no soap is left behind.
Dry Completely
After rinsing, let the tray air dry completely. You can also use a dry cloth to speed up the drying process.
Clean Regularly
It's a good idea to clean the washing machine tray regularly to prevent any buildup of detergent or fabric softener.
Check the Manufacturer's Instructions
Sometimes, washing machine trays can be removed for more thorough cleaning. Check your machine's manual for any specific instructions.
