Washing in a clean washing machine? Take a look behind this flap

Every washing machine has a flap at the bottom, but not everyone opens it regularly. Do you? Here are some reasons why you actually should.

Filter

Behind the flap of the washing machine is a very important component: the filter. It collects water residue, as well as small items you may have forgotten to remove from your pockets. To ensure the machine works properly, it’s important to clean this filter regularly, at least once every six months. If you don’t, the filter can become clogged, causing the washing machine to be temporarily unusable.
