Descale washing machine

For a long lifespan for your washing machine, it is important to descale it regularly. Limescale affects the heating element, meaning the machine has to make more effort to heat up. Limescale residues may also remain in your clean laundry, which appear as white streaks or a white haze. Water softener.com gives you tips: descaling your washing machine has never been easier.

How to descale your washing machine?

There are several ways to descale your washing machine. For example, use:

Chemical descaling agent
Vinegar
Soda
 Dishwashing tablet

Step 1: Descaling agent

Choose a descaling agent for the washing machine. Add vinegar or a chemical anti-limescale agent to the detergent dispenser. If you choose a cup of soda or a dishwasher tablet to descale the washing machine, you do this directly in the washing drum.

Step 2: Start the washing program

Choose a washing program at 40 or 60 degrees and turn on the machine. Please note: you run the washing machine empty, without laundry. Otherwise the descaling agent may damage the laundry. Run the entire program.

Step 3: Run the washing machine again

Once the washing program has finished, turn the machine on again without descaling agent. Let it run empty this time too. Some anti-limescale agent may remain in the washing machine after the first program. By turning the device on a second time, you can be sure that it is completely clean again.

Clean washing machine

Now that you have properly descaled the washing machine, it is important that you continue to keep it clean. This not only prevents stubborn limescale deposits, but also prevents grease, dander and hair from clogging your washing machine. To properly clean your washing machine, proceed as follows:

Step 1: the soap dish

To start with, it is important that the soap dish is also cleaned regularly. Soak the container in soapy water with cleaning or dishwashing liquid or run it in the dishwasher.

Step 2: Clean the drum

Since dirty laundry goes into the drum, it is not surprising that it could also use a good cleaning every now and then. You can clean the drum in different ways. For example, you can run a load of laundry at 90 degrees. This high temperature ensures that the bacteria die and soap residue is washed away. Make sure that the laundry you are going to wash at 90 degrees can actually withstand this. If you do not have laundry that can be washed at 90 degrees, you can also run an empty drum.

Step 3: Empty the lint filter

Finally, it is important that you empty your lint filter regularly. Fluff, hair and small objects can accumulate in the fluff filter. If the filter is clogged, the drain may become blocked. To prevent damage, it is best to clean the fluff filter a few times a year.

Preventing limescale in your washing machine

Descaling your washing machine is quite a job. That is why it is better to protect it against limescale. The solution is an anti-limescale system. This neutralizes limescale in the water and prevents limescale from adhering to the washing drum, the heating element and your clothes. Your shower head, kettle, iron and coffee maker will also last longer thanks to an anti-limescale system.

Frequently asked questions about descaling your washing machine

How often should I descale my washing machine?

Water hardness varies by region. The harder your water, the more limescale particles it contains and the more often you need to descale the washing machine. We generally recommend doing this every two months. Find out how much lime the water in your region contains so you can take this into account. You can often tell by looking at the heating element in your washing machine whether it is necessary to descale the device. The element is then completely white from limescale.

Is hard water bad for laundry??

Lime remains not only in the washing machine, but also in your freshly washed clothes. That is why garments sometimes feel a bit hard after washing or get a white cast. The tiny lime particles in your clothing can cause skin irritation.

How much detergent should I use?

The bottle of your detergent tells you how much to use. In addition, the amount of detergent depends on the hardness of the water. The harder your water is, the more detergent you need to get your laundry clean. View the water hardness in your municipality. If you have an anti-limescale system, you use about a quarter less detergent.
