Importance of Regular Appliance Maintenance
The regular maintenance of domestic and professional kitchen and laundry appliances is extremely important, as it improves their performance and prolongs their lifespan.
Washing Machine Maintenance Tips
Washing machine maintenance is one of the tasks you can perform without using washing machine repair services. This helps clean the inside of the appliance and remove any bad smells, if present.
- Washing machine manufacturers and cleaning detergent manufacturers recommend performing a washing machine maintenance wash once a month.
- At Repairs4U, we advise the same and recommend using water softening detergents regularly between maintenance washes to keep your washing machine as clean as possible and prevent the build-up of limescale.
Common Issues and Preventative Care
In our practice, we have seen many washing machines that could have been saved if cared for properly. People often forget to take care of their appliances. Unfortunately, washing doesn’t mean cleaning in this case, and bacteria and limescale can take hold, starting to ruin the washing machine bit by bit. The damages are usually repairable, but not always cost-effective.
Performing a Maintenance Wash
- For a washing machine maintenance wash, use the highest temperature setting of the appliance, 90°C or 95°C, depending on the manufacturer.
- The high temperature will destroy most harmful bacteria, while the detergent will complete the cleaning process.
