Cleaning your washing machine might sound strange, but it’s essential for maintaining its efficiency and hygiene! 🧼 First, ensure the washer is empty and turned off. Mix warm water with mild detergent in a bucket or directly use a cleaning solution designed for washing machines. Run a hot water cycle—most washers have a self-clean setting—to distribute the cleaning solution evenly. If not, manually add the mixture while the machine fills up.

Let the machine run for a few minutes, then pause the cycle to let the solution sit for an hour. This gives it time to break down any dirt or grime. 🌀 Afterward, complete the cycle to rinse away all traces of soap. For extra cleanliness, wipe down the rubber gasket and detergent dispenser with a damp cloth.

Regular cleaning prevents mold buildup and keeps your clothes fresh. 🍃 Once every three months is ideal, but adjust based on usage. Your washer will thank you—and so will your laundry! 🙌
