Self Cleaning Washer?

NOT REALLY.

Think your washing machine cleans itself? Not quite! Over time, soap residue, mildew, and odours can build up inside your washer. Learn a few easy cleaning tips to keep it fresh, running efficiently, and leaving your laundry smelling its best.” which leads into the article on our website: “Cleaning Your Washing Machine

Over time, detergent residue, fabric softener, moisture, and mildew can build up inside your washing machine, especially around the rubber door seal and detergent dispenser.

Start by inspecting the rubber gasket around the door. If you notice mildew or dark spots, spray the area with hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Gently scrub with an old toothbrush or soft cloth, then wipe clean. Stubborn stains may require a few treatments, and some older stains may be permanent.

Next, remove the detergent drawer and wash it with warm water and white vinegar. Use a small brush to remove any buildup from corners and crevices before rinsing thoroughly.

To freshen the inside of the machine:

• Pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the detergent dispenser and run the hottest, longest wash cycle.
•  
• When that cycle is complete, sprinkle ½ cup of baking soda directly into the drum and run another hot cycle.

These natural ingredients help remove odours, dissolve residue, and leave the washer clean and fresh.

Maintenance Tip: Clean your washing machine approximately every 30 wash cycles, or about once a month, to help prevent mould, mildew, and unpleasant odours.”
