The woman then took to Facebook to post her discovery to the cleaning tips and tricks group, along with photos of her compartment before and after cleaning.

She wrote, “How the hell did I not know this draw was out?! I’m not officially an adult and I love cleaning up haha! Thank you all for your cleaning tips and tricks.”

Before long, the post had attracted almost 100 likes and more than 110 comments from other cleaning enthusiasts – many of whom were also unaware of the trick.

One of them said, “I didn’t know that either!”

A second shared, “They say you learn something every day….. Well today I learned that thank you.”

“Like new – well done,” greeted a third.

A fourth posted: “Brought a used washing machine and had it for 3 years (don’t know how long they had it) before I pulled out the drawer and it was thick with mold black. I’ve never seen anything like it. think I used to wash my clothes in that filth. Take mine out once a month now.

Other users have recommended tips for cleaning the compartment.

One suggested, “Just apply science, pour boiling water into the detergent drawer, it flushes out whatever comes in, and set the machine to wash, happy days.” .

“This grime is driving me crazy – I clean mine weekly now – 6 adults in our horse so the washing machine takes a beating. I also soak the drawer in hot soapy water overnight – it’s a delight”, replied a second.

“Yes, they come out on all washing machines where you normally press the back button where the conditioner runs,” said a third.

A fourth revealed: ‘I take mine out after every wash. Clean it and the inside of the machine where ‘it fits. Then I let it air out and put it back in the next wash.”

“No one reads textbooks anymore,” joked another.
