Periodically, your washing machine needs a good clean to rid itself of stains and odors that can cling to clothes. Fortunately, you likely have everything you need at home to tackle this task. Follow these steps to ensure your machine stays in top condition.

For Front-Loading Machines:

  1. Fill the machine with hot water. If your machine has a self-cleaning cycle, use that setting. Otherwise, simply fill it with hot water.
  2. Add a quart of bleach to remove stains. Pour it into the dispenser so it mixes with hot water during the cycle.
  3. Clean the rubber seal on the door using an all-purpose cleaner and a sponge.
  4. Ensure the dispensers are clean to prevent clogs. Use an all-purpose cleaner or a vinegar and water solution.

For Top-Loading Machines:

  1. Fill the machine with hot water. You can do this by starting the hot wash cycle and interrupting it once the water has filled.
  2. Add a quart of chlorine bleach to lift grime and mildew. Let it sit for at least an hour.
  3. Finish the washing cycle to sanitize the machine. If there's a bleach smell afterward, run another cycle with vinegar and hot water.
  4. Clean the dispensers using a vinegar water solution and a scrubber.

To Maintain Your Machine:

  1. Remove wet clothes promptly to prevent mold and mildew growth.
  2. Leave the door open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate.
  3. Ensure machine parts, like soap drawers, are thoroughly dry before replacing them.
  4. Deep clean your machine once a month using one of the above methods.

By following these steps, you'll keep your washing machine smelling fresh and functioning efficiently for years to come.
