After you have removed it, it is also a good idea to clean the inside of the detergent dispenser with a sponge or cloth. For stubborn mold or stains, you can apply a little vinegar or baking soda directly to the spot and rub gently.
Step 6: Rinse and dry
After drying, rinse the box and the dispenser with warm water to remove all detergent and detergent residue. Dry them thoroughly with a clean cloth before reassembling. This step is important to prevent moisture from re-entering the box and promoting mold growth.
Step 7: Put the box back
Once everything is completely dry, carefully place the detergent dispenser back into the washing machine. Make sure it clicks into place properly, as incorrect installation can cause problems during future washes.
Additional tips for long-term maintenance
Now that your detergent dispenser is shining again, here are a few tips to keep it looking beautiful for a long time:
1. Regular cleaning schedule
Set a reminder to clean your detergent dispenser every month. By making this part of your cleaning routine, you prevent dirt buildup and keep your washing machine free of mold.
2. Use the right detergent
Choose a high-quality detergent that does not leave too much residue. High-efficiency detergents (RE detergents) are often recommended for modern washing machines, as they typically produce less foam and residue.
3. Leave the detergent compartment open.
After washing your laundry, leave the detergent dispenser open so that air can circulate. This helps reduce the formation of mold in the dispenser and minimizes the risk of mold growth.
4. Wipe regularly
