Washing machine under-performing? You can add an ingredient to the equation

Who has never been disappointed by how the washing turned out? This is certainly not a rare event, and when it happens, it's also quite frustrating - just like when dishes, cutlery and crockery don't come out of the dishwasher sparkling clean.

Household appliances are essential to help us with various chores, but they are not infallible. On the contrary, given continuous and prolonged use, sometimes they may start to under-perform. But think about it: if a washing machine is subjected to constant work stresses, it needs to be "helped out" from time to time. And there are cheap, easy, effective ways of doing this. Let's find out how together:

Even if we think that certain objects only have very specific uses and functions, we can be wrong. In fact, it is precisely these products that come to our aid if we find ourselves having to solve some problem.

If your washing is not coming out as you want, there is no need to despair. Before rushing out to buy expensive chemicals or, worse still, calling out a technician, try this: add some white vinegar to your washing load.

Natural, inexpensive and useful for a thousand different purposes, white vinegar is one of those products that should be in every home. But did you know that it can also be used for doing the washing?

If you answered "no", we are ready to prove you wrong. So, how do we use vinegar in the washing machine? It's simple: just add about 100ml for a full load (or half a glass if you prefer) before starting the wash cycle. It is important to put the vinegar in the softener dispenser (and not in the one where you put the detergent). The vinegar will santize, perfume and soften the clothes being washed.

Seeing is believing: white vinegar can also be used for a myriad of other cleaning tasks. For example, it can be used to wash the floors, clean, degrease and descale pots, dishes or appliances; not to mention that it is perfect for eliminating excess limescale from the ends of our taps. And these are just a few examples!
