How To Easily Clean The Washing Machine And Remove Bad Odors

In order to avoid rust stains, mold and limescale smell on your clothes, the washing machine has to be cleaned regularly. Over time, the washer accumulates a lot of dirt that won’t go so easily when washing the laundry. Here’s how to clean your washing machine using some natural and handy ingredients.

You need:

– vinegar
– bleach

You must use these ingredients separately.

Start by mixing a cup of bleach with a cup of warm water. Soften a cloth in this solution and clean the accessible parts of the washing machine, including the interior and the front-load door seal.

Now, start a washing cycle using the highest temperature and add the above solution in the washer. Don’t add your laundry inside, leave the machine empty.

Add 2 cups of vinegar in the detergent dispenser and start another washing cycle using a high temperature.
Finally, to avoid vinegar or chlorine smell, start a rinsing cycle. Your washing machine will be like new and those bad odors will vanish.
