When we dedicate ourselves to cleaning the washing machine <\/strong> we rarely consider the filter, <\/strong> a component that serves to filter the water and allows good washing and rinsing of our clothes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Precisely because it serves to filter, however, it tends to accumulate dirt and limescale<\/strong> . For this reason, it is important to clean it. But let’s face it, the idea of \u200b\u200bdropping water on the floors often inhibits us!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this regard, today we will see together how to clean the washing machine filter without dropping too much water on the floor!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Even before proceeding with cleaning the washing machine filter<\/strong> , let’s see together a series of precautions to proceed in total safety and to avoid letting all the water fall to the ground and wetting the floor<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n We therefore recommend that you first unplug the appliance<\/strong> and turn off the water. After that, place a basin <\/strong> right under the filter to collect the water that will have to flow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To make sure you don’t let the water fall to the floor, it would also be a good idea to place some rags under the basin<\/strong> and on the sides, so as to collect any splashes of water. At this point, let’s see together all the steps to take for cleaning!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The first thing to do is identify the position of the filter,<\/strong> which is usually located at the back for top-loading washing machines, and at the bottom under the door<\/strong> for front-loading washing machines. <\/strong> Since, therefore, it is not always housed in the same position, we recommend that you consult the instruction booklet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once identified, open the door and you will notice a <\/strong>small black tube<\/strong> closed by a cap next to the filter . Then, open it and let all the water inside flow into the basin. <\/strong>Finally, close it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the water has drained out, it’s time to thoroughly clean the filter<\/strong> and remove all the dirt inside. To do this, you will have to unscrew it by turning the knob counterclockwise and pulling it out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are unable to remove it easily due to limescale encrustations, we suggest using a dry cloth to provide resistance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At this point, rinse the filter under a jet of hot water<\/strong> to superficially eliminate all the dirt accumulated inside it. After that, proceed with a more thorough cleaning <\/strong> and soak it for about half an hour <\/strong> in a basin containing hot water<\/strong> and a glass of white wine vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh I forgot!

Finally, close the door and you’re done!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To avoid compromising the functionality of your washing machine, we suggest you repeat this operation once every three months. <\/strong> Furthermore, it would be a good idea to proceed with vacuum washing with vinegar or citric acid so as to remove all the dirt hidden in this appliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Equally important is the cleaning of the other components<\/strong> , such as the gasket, on which mold accumulates, in the drum and in the detergent drawer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When we dedicate ourselves to cleaning the washing machine we rarely consider the filter, a component that serves to filter the water and allows good washing and rinsing of our clothes.
