How to wash clothes in the machine with salt
One teaspoon of salt is added to the drum of the washing machine after you have laid out all the things. It is better to use coarse salt. After that, it is desirable to set a high temperature for washing (80-90 degrees), so that the salt dissolves. Note that some things can not be washed in hot water.
You can also put a spoonful of salt in the compartment of the machine for a liquid rinse aid. In this case, the rinse aid itself is not used. In this way, you can clean the machine from unpleasant odors and limescale.
What else to add to the machine besides salt
If you wash very dirty clothes with old stains, in addition to salt add a tablespoon of lemon juice or a teaspoon of vinegar to the drum of the machine. This will help remove stains.
When washing terry towels in the drum of the machine, add 4 tablespoons of salt and 100 ml of vinegar. Wash for 15 minutes. Then the towels will be soft and fluffy after washing.
To clean the machine from limescale and unpleasant odor, add half a cup of baking soda to the salt. Run the wash at a high temperature
