Top 3 popular laundry detergents that absolutely cannot be used: they will destroy the washing machine

Experts warn about the potential danger of using certain detergents in washing machines, which can negatively affect their work.

This is reported by radiotrek.

Studies have shown that some popular combinations of substances can cause your machine to break down.

As you know, the Internet is full of life hacks that promise to improve washing results with additional ingredients, such as vinegar. However, it is worth remembering that using vinegar to wash clothes in automatic machines is not safe.

Acetic acid can cause potential damage to the washing machine and result in significant repair costs. Therefore, you should refrain from using vinegar in your laundry.

It is important to understand that vinegar can be used for rinsing, color preservation, odor removal, and other purposes, but a concentrated vinegar solution is aggressive to some components of washing machines, including rubber seals, which can cause damage or wear over time.
