                Using chlorine-based or acidic cleaners can lead to discoloration or corrosion inside the machine.<br/>
                Tub cleaners that produce excessive foam may cause leaks from the washer.<br/>
                Therefore, it is advisable to use these cleaners sparingly or opt for a cleaner that produces less foam.
