I recommended that you put 4 spoons of vinegar for invest in second compartment and 2 spoons in softing compartment. In softing compartment you can add your favorit softener or use 5 drops of essential oil.

Don’t be scare of vinegar. It dont make any strange smell like someone tell. I use homemade apple vinegar and it was good to.
