Hard water in your washing machine can lead to limescale build-up in your appliance.
As the limescale build-up increases over time, your heating element can eventually fail. Limescale build-up can also affect the drums, pipes, and hoses.
A content creator shared their straightforward method for getting rid of limescale using a citrusy fruit.
“Throw a lemon in the washing machine and watch all the limescale go away,” they said in their TikTok video.
Grab a lemon and cut through the parts where the lemon is naturally divided. Put the cut-up lemon in a sock and throw the sock in a washing machine. Set the washing machine to the regular wash cycle that you would if you were washing a load of laundry.
