ADVERTISEMENT

Introduction:
A washing machine that leaves lint on your clothes can be frustrating and puzzling. Often, this problem is due to built-up dirt, detergent residue, and lint trapped inside the machine. Regular, thorough cleaning can prevent lint accumulation, improve washing performance, and extend your machine’s life. Here are three easy and effective tricks to keep your washing machine spotless and your clothes lint-free.

Ingredients:

White vinegar (2 cups)

Baking soda (½ cup)

Old toothbrush or soft cleaning brush

Microfiber cloth

How to make:

Run a Vinegar Cycle:
Pour 2 cups of white vinegar directly into the drum of your empty washing machine. Run a hot water cycle to dissolve detergent buildup and kill bacteria.

Baking Soda Boost:
After the vinegar cycle, sprinkle ½ cup of baking soda inside the drum. Run another hot water cycle to neutralize odors and loosen grime.

Manual Cleaning:
Use an old toothbrush dipped in vinegar or baking soda paste to scrub the rubber gasket, detergent drawer, and door seals. Wipe these areas thoroughly with a microfiber cloth.
