Your washing machine cleans your clothes, but how clean is your machine? A little vinegar, hot water and some baking soda can disinfect, deodorize, kill mold and clean soap scum. How? Let's get started:
#1: Turn your washing machine on the highest setting and fill with hot water. Then add 3-4 cups of vinegar (white) to the hot water and allow the machine to run for about a minute.
#2: Then add approximately 1/2 cup of baking soda and allow machine to agitate for another minute, stop the machine then allow it to sit for about 30 minutes to an hour.
#3: While this is soaking, you clean the top and outside the machine using the same solution, a cloth and a toothbrush.
#4: Start the machine again, allow it to spin, then run until the water begins to drain.
Try this method every once in a while to keep your machine clean and odor free.
