Washing machines are recognised as a handy household appliance that keeps your clothes clean and smelling fresh. However, the popular washing device equally needs its own maintenance to maintain its cleanliness.

While it's a gruelling task to clean the inside of your washing machine - especially due to the awkward angles - it can result in some rather nasty side effects if left untreated. Jessie Marie left jaws dropping online after she revealed a hidden compartment that's got rather nasty, and people have admitted to not knowing of its existence.

Jessie Marie - who boasts more than 4,000 followers on TikTok account @jessiee_marie - grossed people out after she revealed the hidden compartment inside her washer.

After spotting someone taking apart their washing machine on the popular video-streaming service, Jessie braved her appliance to try first-hand.

On the bottom of the washing drum, the TikToker pulled on a plastic handle, which appeared to easily remove.

"Just found out you can take this piece in your washing machine," Jessie explained.

However, after removing the part of the washing machine, there lay grime and dirty underneath, which has left people's jaws dropping.

Since posting, her video has surpassed a whopping 5.5 million views to date.

Captioning the post, Jessie wrote: "Saw someone do this on TikTok and I had to try it."

While the viral video raked in over 1,100 comments, TikTok users admitted that they wouldn't be giving this life hack a try anytime soon.

"After seeing this I shall not be removing mine," one persona admitted.

Someone else wrote: "Out of sight out of mind."

A third person penned: "I'd throw the whole thing out, ain't gonna be doing all this."

Meanwhile, a different TikTok user wrote: "The way my jaw dropped knowing mine probably looks like that."
