Soak Clothes Before Washing
Certain fabrics, like cotton or thick materials, are harder to clean, especially when stained. To improve washing results, fill the machine with water, dissolve detergent, and soak clothes for 20–30 minutes before starting the cycle. This helps loosen stubborn stains, making them easier to remove.
Use Rice Vinegar for Stain and Odor Removal
A handy trick for tougher stains is adding 200ml of rice vinegar to the washing machine along with detergent. Run the cycle briefly to mix the vinegar and detergent, then turn off the machine and let the clothes soak for 20 minutes before washing as usual.
Rice vinegar helps break down stains like fruit juice or oil and effectively eliminates lingering odors, leaving clothes fresher and cleaner.
