Clean your washer with this method once a month to prevent buildup.
Always leave the door/lid slightly open after each wash to let moisture escape.
Empty pockets before washing to reduce lint.
Variations:
Add a few drops of essential oil (like lemon or tea tree) to the vinegar for a fresh scent.
Use 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide instead of baking soda for deeper disinfecting.
Replace vinegar with citric acid for descaling in hard water areas.
FAQ:
Why is my washer leaving lint on my clothes?
It’s likely due to trapped residue or a dirty filter. Deep cleaning clears lint pathways and improves performance.
Can I use bleach instead of vinegar?
Yes, but vinegar is safer for the environment and for machines over long-term use.
How often should I clean my washer?
Once a month is ideal for maintenance. More often if you use fabric softener or wash heavily soiled loads.
