Why a Clean Washing Machine Drawer Matters
A clean detergent drawer is not just about appearance—it plays a crucial role in laundry hygiene and the lifespan of your washing machine. Detergent, fabric softener, and limescale can quickly accumulate, forming a breeding ground for mold and bacteria, leading to:
-
Bad odors
-
Stains on laundry
-
Reduced machine performance
-
Risk of long-term damage
Taking the time to clean this part of your machine ensures fresher clothes and a longer-lasting appliance.
The Viral Cleaning Trick That Changed Everything
On social media platforms like TikTok and Facebook, a young woman shared her clever method to clean the detergent drawer. Many users were surprised to learn that the drawer is removable!
“How did I not know that this drawer was removable?” she exclaimed.
“When I pulled it out, the dirt and mold behind it were disgusting!”
Once removed, she soaked the drawer in hot soapy water, then used stronger cleaning products and a toothbrush for scrubbing. The result? A spotless, fresh-smelling drawer.
Other users chimed in:
-
“I used boiling water, detergent, and a toothbrush. It’s cleaner than ever!”
-
“I finally figured out how to remove it, and it was absolutely worth it.”
Moral of the story: You can and should remove the drawer and clean it regularly.
