Looking after your washing machine is a grubby but necessary task as the damp environment can allow for mould to grow which, despite your best cleaning efforts, can leave your clothes smelling of damp. But cleaning them can be difficult, especially with those awkwardly shaped washing machine drawers.
Struggle no more, because one savvy woman has found a helpful trick to ensuring the drawer stays clean all the time and she has shared her top tIps with amazed cleaning buffs online. Faith, who never before know the drawer could be completely removed from the machine, has shown online followers how to deeply clean your machine, NottinghamshireLive reports.
She only found this out when she noticed it had a button to push down so it could be removed. Upon seeing the drawer was rather grimy, Faith set out to clean it using an effective solution of warm washing up liquid water, a toothbrush, and a cloth. After "a lot of scrubbing" she was able to get her machine clean and shared the impressive results online.

Posting on the Facebook group Cleaning tips and tricks, Faith shared pictures of the before and after, saying "How on earth did I not know this drawer came out?! I'm not officially an adult and love cleaning haha! Thank you everyone for your cleaning tips and tricks".
Other members of the group were similarly shocked by the trick, apparently having also had no idea the drawer could be removed and cleaned separately. One astounded woman wrote: "They say you learn something every day. Well, today I learned this thank you".
Another gasped: "I not know of this trickery either!"
Offering help to those who weren't sure how to get their own drawers to budge, various members who've tried this hack before advised to press down in the middle of the drawer, right where the fabric softener is poured, before giving it a gentle pull.
