es, your washing machine needs regular cleaning too! Although it’s designed to clean clothes, detergent, fabric softeners, and minerals from hard water can build up over time, leading to mold, mildew, and unpleasant odors. Cleaning your washing machine not only helps it smell fresh but also improves its efficiency and extends its lifespan. Here’s a simple guide to keeping it spotless!
How to Clean Your Washing Machine
What You’ll Need:
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
- Soft cloth or sponge
- Old toothbrush (for scrubbing tight areas)
Steps to a Clean Washing Machine
- Empty the Drum
Ensure the washing machine is empty, as you’ll be running a cleaning cycle without clothes. - Run a Hot Water and Vinegar Cycle
Set your washing machine to the hottest and longest cycle. Add 2 cups of white vinegar directly to the drum (not the detergent drawer). Vinegar breaks down grime, residue, and any mildew buildup, killing bacteria and mold. - Add Baking Soda for Extra Freshness
Once the first cycle finishes, sprinkle 1/2 cup of baking soda into the drum and run another hot cycle. Baking soda is a natural deodorizer that absorbs odors and helps scrub away any remaining residue. - Wipe Down Surfaces
After the cycles, dip a cloth in a mix of water and vinegar, and wipe down the inside of the drum, the door, and any rubber seals. Use an old toothbrush to scrub the detergent drawer, nooks, and crannies where dirt and detergent can accumulate. - Leave the Door Open
After cleaning, leave the washer door open to allow air circulation and prevent mold and mildew from forming.
