Put lemon juice in your washing machine. Here’s why. This is something appliance repairmen will never tell you..

Unlike bleach or chemical detergents, lemon juice is non-toxic and biodegradable. It’s safe for the environment and reduces your household chemical load.

How to Use Lemon Juice in Your Washing Machine

For a Regular Wash:

Add ½ cup fresh lemon juice along with your usual detergent.

Wash as normal.

For Cleaning the Machine Itself:

Add 1 cup of lemon juice to the drum.

Run a hot cycle (empty machine).

Wipe the drum and door seal with a clean cloth afterward.

Tip: Combine lemon juice with a little baking soda for extra whitening power and deep cleaning.

This simple trick keeps your clothes bright, removes odors, and maintains your washing machine—all naturally. 🍋
