Does your laundry come out of the machine without this expected freshness? The solution often lies in the neglected maintenance of an essential compartment. Find out how to correct this mistake for brilliant results with every wash.
The laundry bin, this great forgotten part of maintenance
We pour the detergent into it mechanically, without thinking too much about it. However, the laundry tray plays an essential role: it doses and distributes the products at the right time in the cycle. Over time, detergent, fabric softener and limescale residue accumulate there. Result: the detergent circulates poorly, odors appear and the laundry comes out less clean.
Worse yet, a dirty bin can become an ideal breeding ground for deposits and bad odors, which then transfer to your clothes.
How often should you clean the laundry bin?
The good news is that this cleaning does not require any specific equipment or a lot of time. The ideal is to do this every two to four weeks, depending on how often you use your machine. If you wash often at low temperatures or use fabric softener regularly, more frequent cleaning is recommended.
It's one of those small maintenance actions that makes a huge difference in the long run.
