The technician explained to me what the Third Compartment in the washing machine drawer is for, I won’t tell you the results!
The washing machine drawer is a great mystery to many.
Or rather, you experience it a little like the place where you put detergent (if it is liquid or powder) and fabric softener (if you use it), but without knowing the real logic and above all the real function of the third compartment.
Before revealing what it is actually used for (a technician explained it to me during a repair), let’s take stock of the general maintenance of the device.
Remember to disinfect it thoroughly, at least once a month , to prevent the formation of lime and mold and to free it from dirt that becomes embedded along the pipes.
To do this, simply run it empty and place a glass of white vinegar or a tablespoon of baking soda, or a mixture of both, in the basket or tray .
Always set a fairly high temperature, above 60° and you will ensure that it has been thoroughly disinfected. Also clean the drawer compartments and porthole with vinegar. This way your laundry will be impeccable. But for white people, even more can be done.
Stuff? Use the third tray compartment.
Here we explain how!
Third compartment in the washing machine drawer: I use it to wash clothes
If you open the washing machine drawer and look closely, you will no longer act automatically, as you usually do.
In fact, you will notice that a symbol appears in a compartment: II, here you must pour the liquid detergent or the powder detergent . You can also put lime remover here.
In the center, in the smallest and narrowest section, there is a kind of flower: here the fabric softener should be introduced , if you use it or when necessary.
Finally, there is a compartment marked with an I , the most mysterious, the one that few people use, but which guarantees a clear difference in terms of performance during the entire cycle of your laundry.
It is in this compartment where you will have to put the detergent when you set the prewash . But it will come in handy, especially if you have to treat white people. This is the place to add the bleach that is immediately loaded along with the water when you turn on the washer.
Not only that, you can also put vinegar and baking soda in here when you start it empty for a deep clean. In this way, the remedy necessary for deep hygiene will be distributed immediately and in its entirety.
Good to know, right?
