For cleaning the machine:

Once a month, run an empty hot cycle with ½ cup of salt in the drum.
This helps dissolve mineral buildup and kill bacteria inside the washer.

For softening water:

Mix 1–2 tablespoons of salt with your detergent in hard water areas to enhance cleaning power.

⚠️ Important Tip: Avoid using salt with bleach, as the combination can create chlorine gas. Always use salt on its own or with detergent only.
