In addition, incorrect use promotes the accumulation of detergent residues inside the washing machine, which over time can cause:
bad smells,
proliferation of bacteria,
Reduction of the life of the appliance.
How this discovery changed the way I did laundry
Once I learned how to use the tray correctly, the difference was immediate. The clothes were:
visibly cleaner,
softer,
with a fresher and longer-lasting scent.
In addition, I have noticed that I use less detergent, avoiding unnecessary waste. The washing machine also seems to work better, with no residue or bad smells.
The importance of tray maintenance
Another aspect that is often ignored is regular cleaning of the detergent drawer. Over time, detergent and fabric softener residues can build up and harden.
