How to Clean Your Front Load Washer (5 Simple Steps)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups vinegar
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Mix together the water and baking soda to make your detergent
  2. Pour the mixture into the detergent area
  3. Pour the two cups of vinegar directly into the drum of the washer.
  4. Set the load to the "Wash" cycle, or if yours doesn't have a wash cycle, select the highest water temperature setting

Notes

Keep a stack of old rags next to your washer and wipe down the glass door after every load of laundry. Give the gasket crevice a quick wipe down as well, then just toss the rag in with the next load of towels. Always try to move the clothes over before the things start to get smelly. When you are not using the washer, leave it propped open. This will help with keep it dry inside and the mildew from building up.
