Start the washing machine on its hottest and longest cycle. The combination of baking soda and vinegar will loosen dirt, grime, and detergent residue while neutralizing odors.
Clean the Seals and Compartments: While the cycle runs, use a soft cloth to wipe rubber seals, the detergent drawer, and the door glass.
Rinse Cycle (Optional): For extra freshness, you can run an additional rinse cycle with just water.
Leave the Door Open: After cleaning, keep the washing machine door slightly open to allow air circulation and prevent future odors.
Tips for Prevention:
Wipe down the drum and door seals after each use.
Don’t leave wet clothes sitting in the washer for long periods.
Run this cleaning routine once a month to keep your washing machine fresh and odor-free.
This method removes hidden dirt, mold, and soap scum—your laundry will smell fresh, and your washing machine will perform better!
