Regularly clean your washing machine

-


Regularly cleaning your washing machine is crucial to maintain its performance and prevent odours and mold buildup. Here's how you can clean your washing machine:

 Clean the detergent dispenser: Remove the detergent dispenser drawer (if applicable) and wash it in warm, soapy water. Use a small brush to scrub any residue or buildup.

Wipe the door seal: The rubber door seal can trap moisture and detergent residue, leading to mold and mildew growth. Wipe it with a damp cloth and mild detergent regularly, and leave the door open between washes to allow air to circulate and dry the seal.

Run a cleaning cycle: Many modern washing machines have a cleaning cycle or self-cleaning option. If yours does, follow the manufacturer's instructions to run this cycle using a washing machine cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and baking soda.

Clean the drum: Occasionally, it's a good idea to clean the drum of your washing machine. You can do this by running an empty cycle with hot water and a cup of vinegar or bleach. Be sure to check your machine's manual for specific instructions on cleaning the drum.

Check the drain pump filter: Some washing machines have a filter near the bottom that can become clogged with lint, coins, or other debris. Refer to your machine's manual for instructions on how to access and clean the drain pump filter.

Remove lint and debris: Periodically check the drum and door seal for any lint or debris and remove it to prevent buildup.

Maintain the exterior: Wipe down the exterior of your washing machine regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent to keep it looking clean and fresh.

By incorporating these steps into your cleaning routine, you can help ensure that your washing machine performs optimally and your clothes come out clean and fresh with each wash.
