Don’t forget to wash this part of the washing machine that is too often neglected. It could play tricks on you.
In most households, the washing machine is an essential part of everyday life. It is there to make our jobs easier by washing our clothes, towels and sheets. However, despite our best efforts to keep our appliances clean, there is one often overlooked but easy to clean area that can throw up nasty surprises: the filter. While it may seem like a small, insignificant part, it plays a crucial role in the optimal functioning of the washing machine. This component is usually located at the front or back of the appliance and is designed to trap debris and unwanted particles that could clog the drain hose.
Like the dishwasher filter, the washing machine filter also needs to be cleaned regularly. If you neglect maintenance, you can accumulate dirt, hair, lint, buttons, coins and even small items forgotten in your clothing pockets. Over time, these deposits can clog the filter, reduce its efficiency and cause problems such as longer wash cycles, water leaks or even long-term damage to the machine.
