Do you want to keep your washing machine clean and working well? Here are some easy and fun tips to help you do just that!
First, make sure to clean the detergent dispenser, the rubber gasket (the rubber ring around the door), and the drum (the big part where you put your clothes). You can use a mixture of vinegar and baking soda for this. This helps stop mold and bacteria from growing.
Once a month, run your washing machine on a hot water cycle. You can add vinegar or bleach to the water. This will help get rid of any leftover soap, smells, and mineral deposits that might be hiding in your machine.
After you finish using your washing machine, leave the door or lid open. This lets air flow inside and helps prevent mildew, which is a type of fungus that likes damp places.
Keeping your washing machine clean not only makes it last longer but also ensures your clothes come out fresh and clean every time. Plus, it helps save energy because a clean machine works more efficiently!
Did you know that vinegar is a natural cleaner? It can be used for many things around the house, not just cleaning your washing machine. It’s like a superhero for cleaning!
