I finally learned how to use the laundry tub properly — and it completely changed the way I do laundry.
’s tempting to add a little more detergent, especially when the laundry is heavily soiled, but this is one of the worst things you can do. Overfilling the compartments can cause blockages, leaks, and insufficient rinsing. It can also leave sticky residue on your clothes.
Instead, follow the maximum fill line indicated inside the drawer. A small adjustment like this can significantly improve your washing results.

After following these steps, the change was undeniable. My clothes were softer, brighter, and smelled better. Even the towels, which had previously been rough, were soft again.
This also made me realize how much my machine was struggling. Without the residue blocking the detergent flow, it ran more quietly and efficiently.
Now, I make sure to thoroughly clean the detergent drawer every few weeks. It takes less than ten minutes, but it keeps my washing machine working like new.
A little attention makes all the difference.

Your washing machine handles some of your most frequently used laundry (clothes, sheets, towels), but it’s easy to forget that it also needs maintenance. Regularly cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer not only improves the quality of your wash but also extends the life of your appliance.
If your clothes aren’t as fresh as they used to be, there’s no need to rush out and buy laundry detergent or blame the washing machine. Open the detergent drawer, clean it thoroughly, and you’ll see the difference.
It’s one of those little everyday life lessons that changes everything once you know it — the kind of lesson that makes you wonder how you ever managed without it.
