Purification of the washing machine from scale: treatment of PETN, cleaning other parts

Circulates through water pipes, the water is not perfect. It is often tough, smells of bleach, it contains various impurities. Plus, the hostess is added to the washing machine are different chemicals, and consequently domestic helper from time to time needs to be cleaned. Particularly troublesome calcification. how clean washing machine - the machine should ask the experts, but in some cases it can be done independently.

Causes and effects of contaminants

Clean the machine-gun is really necessary. You should also know what needs to be cleaned. If you look inside the device, has worked for a long time, the first thing that catches your eye - this is dirty plaqueFormed on the metal and plastic components. In its structure there are minerals, so it is often hard and can not be a simple mechanical cleaning.

The causes of plaque following:

• Entering into the machine-machine water is hard or dirty.
• The powder is a lot of chemical components.
• Technology is constantly maintained in the intensive washing mode.

Many corners of the washing machine are difficult, and it is in them, and accumulated dirt. Clean it - a rather difficult task, because the hand of such a place can not reach, and use different sharps dangerous. In this lies the reason for the layering of dirt, causing home helper soon comes into disrepair. She breaks down, and its repair is not cheap pleasure. From this develops the conclusion that it is not necessary to bring to the extreme, and it is better to know in advance how to clean the washing machine from scale, disinfect the drum and the tank. If the time to take action, the life of the home helpers significantly last.

In hard water contains a lot of magnesium and calcium salts. When heated, they are converted into carbon dioxide and the solid precipitate. Then the latter together with dirty particles, for example, rust, settles on PETN and tank cars. PETN, crusty scale worse conducts heat, resulting in water is heated longer, the quantity of electricity increases. A sediment from clogging the water intake valve, making its details are deteriorating prematurely.

The car gets more dirt after disconnecting water and repair.

To learn accumulated on PETN scale or not, you should look into the machine device. Typically, the heater is located under the drum or slightly offset from the center to the side. Armed with a flashlight, it is necessary to highlight the opening of the drum and try to see the heater. The lighting was the same, you can gently shake the drum. Immediately may not be possible, but choosing the right speed wiggle consider heater eventually succeed.

Methods for cleaning up the washing machine 

Fight with scum on PETN several methods. This includes the use of both special and improvised.

special agent

Cleaning washing machine from scale can be carried out using a tool called antiscaling composition. In its composition contains acid that dissolves well crust deposits.

You need to fill up means in the washing machine and turn on the "wash without clothes." Due to the chemical reaction occurring during heating of the device elements is fast and effectively descaled layer. This tool is affordable and accessible to everyone.

However, descaling has its disadvantages. If inadvertently exceed a dosage means, the rubber can suffer machine elements, and it begins to flow.

Lemon acid

After frequent washing procedure to clean the washing machine from scale should be carried out every quarter. If the operation is no longer rare, it is sufficient once in six months. To clean the washing machine with citric acid, it is necessary to do so:

1. Select "wash without clothes" mode.
2. Set temperature of from 60 to 90 degrees.
3. Pour into a container for powder 50-100 g citric acid.

The result is a clean heater and home appliance, exuding a pleasant aroma. This cleaning does not harm the item, so the benefits available, and no flaws.

white vinegar

Clean the appliance in the home, you can with vinegar. As experts say, this the most effective method. Disinfect the washing machine and clean it from scale using this acid can be as follows:

1. In a conventional washing machine pour vinegar in the amount of two cups. Add hot water and set the longest wash cycle without laundry and powder.
2. After 5 minutes wash program to stop for an hour. It is necessary that the cleaning solution has penetrated into all corners of the tank.
3. Through this time, the washing program start again and wait until it is completed.
4. To the cleaning solution does not remain in the household appliances including washing program again, but with a shorter cycle.
5. Soft cloth soaked in dilute acetic acid, rinsed door seals.

pollution prevention with the help of magnets

The cause of the formation of scale in this case is disposed of in advance. To do this, use different magnetic softeners. They can be installed on the filler hose machine or piping entrance to the apartment. They are called filters, softeners or water converters.

Magnetic type softener purifies the water from the calcium and magnesium salts. If they do not come along with the water in the unit, so there is nothing to be cleaned from scale. It will not be any PETN or the surface of the tank.

If you delve into the details, the lime deposits under the influence of powerful magnets dissociate into ions. As a result, instead of calcite, aragonite get that deposits do not form. As a result, the elements of the machine circulates the "magnetic" water, which leaves a clean tank and heater.

A disadvantage of this method is its cleaning machines fairly high cost. The price of the water softener is around $ 30, Which is much more expensive than a simple bag with descaling. However, the magnets are very comfortable in use, and the service life have a large enough - about 50 years. It should only be spent once, to forget about the fact that such a scum on the PETN washing machine.

In addition to the magnetic filter, there is a mechanical filter cleaning or sediment. They need to purify water from sediment and rust sand. Warn clogging pipes, thereby saving appliances from damage. Such filters are, incidentally, also prolong the life of the plumbing.

Prevention of manufacturers

This method is based on washing temperature. This means that the higher the index, the greater the scale formed on the PETN. Developers of modern washing machines account for this fact and release their offspring with new programs for washing. Water Only heated to 40-50 degrees, The quality of laundry washing remains high. This method allows you to handle two tasks: to prevent scale formation on PETN and save energy.

The heating element can be long, but it is possible that fast break. The main cause of failure can become excessive load and the selected wash cycle. Scale on PETN may occur due to frequent washing clothes worn since the particles precipitate. In addition, the purity of PETN and the whole machine in general affect falsified washing powders which can quickly damage the appliance.

In this way, can advise those who wish to live frugally, without distracting the means of electricity or repair of household equipment, as follows:

• Choosing a filter or softener to use descaling.
• Remember the mechanical filter, which removes particles of sediment.
• When washing select the program with less high-temperature heating.

The whole truth about Calgon

Thousands of housewives, believing the advertising, rushing to buy this tool to prevent scaling. After all, none of them wants to expensive machinery is out of order. But is it effective? Professionals meet that belongs to ordinary Calgon water softener. It consists of soda and sodium triphosphate. One box with a means costs three times more expensive than the cost of components. By the way, you can prepare a water softener to taking its components. It not get worse, but much cheaper. However, and this is not worth doing, especially to get ready Calgon.

The fact that it is not a reliable protection of the heating element. On the contrary, it brings only harm. If you constantly use this tool, the surface of the heating element will become the hardness, like cement. This layer is much harder and stronger scale of magnesium and calcium. So we should not be surprised if the heater will burn out quickly.

Instead hyped Calgon is better to use the usual modern powders, in which manufacturers add softener and other substances, caring for a washing machine. In addition, the scale prevention much cheaper.

cleaning the filter 

To avoid damage of household appliances, to conduct filter cleaningAs hoses, should be mandatory. Blockage should not be, otherwise it threatens a breakdown.

The sequence of works:

1. Before you start cleaning the filter of the dirt under the instrument must be to lay the cloth to prevent the spreading of water throughout the bathroom.
2. Also need some kind of container to drain the water from the hose. Last located behind the panel that covers the filter.
3. Lower the hose on the bottom of the tank. The filter can be found at the bottom of the machine in a special small hatch.
4. Open the hatch.
5. Wait for a complete draining of fluid from the hose, then remove the filter by turning counterclockwise.
6. Filter susceptible, but just can not get it, it is necessary to wait a bit, holding that the liquid flow out on the flap.
7. Inspect its impeller to remove from it all the dirt and put in place.
8. Do not forget to clean the base, where the filter is inserted.

Thus, the purity of the washing machine is the key to its long life. We just need to take care of his assistant, to arrange the prevention of pollution at least once every six months, and then the problem will bypass. If a precipitate has formed, you can use the above methods to return home electric appliances former radiance and prevent its breakdown.
