Regular maintenance of your washing machine not only extends its life but also improves its performance. Cleaning it naturally is not only simple but also environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Here are some easy steps to naturally clean your washing machine:
**1. Hot Water and Vinegar Wash Vinegar is a natural cleaner that can help dissolve mineral deposits and mold growth while eliminating odors.
Instructions:
Set your washing machine to run on its hottest cycle with the largest load setting.
Add 2 cups of white vinegar to the detergent dispenser.
Allow the machine to run through a complete wash and rinse cycle.
If your machine has a persistent musty odor or visible mold, pause the cycle for an hour after the machine has filled with water and vinegar to let it soak.
**2. Baking Soda Scrub After the vinegar cycle, baking soda can be used to scrub the inside of the barrel where residue may have loosened.
