Never leave the washing machine door open: this is a serious mistake

Many people believe that leaving the washing machine door open all the time is a good habit. However, this can actually create several problems for your appliance.

🚫 A Common Mistake

Keeping the washing machine door open for long periods can put extra stress on the hinge, door lock, and rubber seal. Over time, this may cause wear and reduce the overall performance of the machine.

❌ A Popular Myth

Some people think leaving the door open prevents mold and bad odors. In reality, leaving it open too long can allow dust and bacteria to enter, which may contribute to unpleasant smells instead of preventing them.

🧂 Use Coarse Salt to Reduce Limescale

Coarse salt can help remove mineral buildup.

How to use it:

• Add about 1 kg of coarse salt directly into the empty drum.

• Run a hot wash cycle every two months.

This helps reduce limescale deposits inside the machine.
