How to Easily Clean a Washing Machine at Home

Why should you clean your washing machine periodically?

The drum of a washing machine is exposed to dirty clothes, bacteria, and fabric dust. Over time, these impurities accumulate inside the washing tub, clogging the filter and draining system, which can lead to damage. If the drum is not cleaned regularly, these residues can transfer to clothes during the wash, resulting in unclean clothes and a musty smell. Cleaning the washing machine regularly extends its lifespan, removes bacteria and residue, helps clothes come out cleaner, improves machine performance, and protects it from deterioration and damage. It is recommended to clean the washing machine every week to prevent dust accumulation and keep it clean and new. A thorough cleaning of the entire machine, including the outer and inner tubs, should be done every 2-3 months, depending on the frequency of use.

In addition, a cleaning service for washing machines is available from Tam Tam company. They provide washing machine cleaning services with clear prices and exceptional service quality.
