Washing machines nowadays are stylish, lightweight, and built to last.

However, owners should still do their part and perform maintenance tasks every once in a while. These Washing Machine Cleaning Tips will help keep your machine running.

CLEAN THE DETERGENT WATER IN THE WASHER DRAWER

The detergent water is a breeding ground for bacteria, discarded washing powder, and mold spores.

Therefore, you need to remove the whole draw (if this is possible) and clean it vigorously with household bleach and an old toothbrush.

UNBLOCKING THE WASHING MACHINE’S FILTER

A filter is another clammy and moist area where bacteria can grow exponentially.

Therefore, you need to regularly decant its contents and make sure any fluff and dirt are removed immediately.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE DRUM

If you investigate and look inside the washing machine and it appears spotless, then do not be fooled.

Bacteria and mold can grow and fester in the smallest holes and crevasses. Running an empty wash every two months is essential for the upkeep and for the ongoing maintenance of your washing machine.
