For this tip, you will need a one-litre bottle, water and some citric acid, lemon juice or white vinegar (alcoholic vinegar). By mixing, then pouring, the contents of the bottle into the detergent drawer or directly into the drum and starting an empty wash, you will get rid of unpleasant odors in an instant. Let's see below the precise details of the possible methods:

• With citric acid: dissolve 250 grams of citric acid in a one-litre bottle of water and pour the contents into the drum or detergent drawer, then start an empty wash.
• With lemon: as far as the lemon is concerned, dilute 150 ml of filtered lemon juice in a litre of water and start a high temperature, empty wash.
• With white vinegar: lastly, white vinegar should be used without diluting it. Pour one litre into the washing machine and start a regular, empty wash.

An extra precaution that can make the difference is to leave the washing machine door open to dry out after use. This is a habit that should be practiced every time you finish doing the laundry.

Having said that, one of these tips should work great for you!
