To achieve this goal, follow three simple cleaning tricks:
1. Use the washing machine wisely
Understanding how the device operates is key to getting the most from it. A quick dusting can help, and the user manual offers guidance to optimize performance. Knowing what each program does allows full use of the machine’s capabilities.
Experts typically recommend cleaning the washing machine regularly, including the detergent and fabric softener compartments, about once a month. The door and rubber seals should also be wiped with a non-abrasive cleaner. A routine cycle with the drum empty and hot water is often advised. Regular maintenance helps the machine work properly and extends its lifespan.

2. Do not overload the washing machine
For best results, avoid loading the machine to the brim. Overloading can hinder drum rotation and prevent the full cycle from completing. Mixing different sizes of laundry, such as towels with smaller items, can help balance the load. Conversely, washing a large blanket or duvet alone can cause imbalance as well.
After use, leave the drum door open to allow air to circulate and dry inside. This reduces moisture buildup and makes it harder for bacteria to grow, helping prevent lingering odors from the machine.
3. Check for water leaks

Leaks are often obvious, with water pooling under the appliance, but some leaks can be small and easy to miss. It helps to inspect the hoses for any loose connections or wear. A simple fix like tightening a fitting often resolves the issue.
For more complex problems, it is wise to contact a technician rather than attempting risky repairs yourself.
