Lemon is excellent for cooking, but it is also very useful for household chores<\/strong>   . Excellent for its disinfectant properties, lemon has an antibacterial and antiviral action. For those who like natural remedies instead of regular supermarket products, this can be used for different purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From glass cleaning to steel cleaning. But it is also a good ally for laundry and not only for hand washing but also for machine washing. Here\u2019s how and where to use it in the washing machine to get soft, fragrant clothes and always have a clean washing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lemon in the washing machine: a homemade fabric softener<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are different ways to use lemon in the washing machine and one of them is to use it as a natural fabric softener. Lemon has emollient properties for clothing as it expands the fibers of clothing, making fabrics softer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To have a lemon softener, simply prepare a mixture by mixing 1 L of water with the juice of one and a half lemons. <\/strong>Then, using a measuring cup, pour the correct amount into the detergent compartment. The result will be super soft and scented clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other ways to use lemon in the washing machine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

But that\u2019s not the only way to use lemon in the washing machine. They often wash clothes and more without thinking about cleaning the washing machine. However, like all appliances, your washing machine should be cleaned at least once a month to ensure it continues to work and doesn\u2019t release dirt onto your clothes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing to do is do a vacuum wash with lemon. Simply insert a liter of water with the filtered juice of 2 lemons into the washing machine and start a high temperature wash. In this way, the washing machine will be disinfected thanks to the action of the lemon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another problem is mold formation and lemon is a perfect solution to combat this problem. Mold growth is usually concentrated in certain areas, such as the pan, gasket, and basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, it is necessary to act directly on the affected areas with lemon juice and leave it to act for about 15 minutes before rubbing with a toothbrush to remove the mold stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the fillings, however, you can prepare a mixture with water, the juice of two lemons and lemon zest. <\/strong>Insert into a spray bottle and spray into the seam and especially into the folds where hair residue or dirt may accumulate. Then wipe with a damp cloth to clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lemon can also be used to whiten clothing and restore fabrics to their natural shine. Simply place a measuring cup with strained lemon juice directly into the washing machine drum when washing. Alternatively, if you want to use a hand wash, you can fill a bowl of water with the juice of two lemons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In any case, it is always better to read the instructions on the clothes and the washing machine, which always indicate how to wash or clean them. You must first make sure that these methods can be done before doing them and then irreparably ruining or breaking the washing machine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
