Over time, your washing machine can become a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and other nasty germs. No one wants to put their clothes in a device that isn't clean! Fortunately, getting your washing machine sparkling clean and free of harmful bacteria only takes a little effort. In this blog post, we'll show you how to clean a top-loading or front-loading washing machine step-by-step.

To clean your washing machine, you'll need the following supplies:
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
- Bleach (optional)
- A soft cloth or sponge
- A stiff brush (optional)

Pour two cups of white vinegar into your washing machine's detergent compartment. Run an empty cycle on the hot setting. The hot water and vinegar will work together to remove any residue and grime that build up inside your machine.

Don't worry if you see some smoke or steam—this is normal and means the cleaning process is working! When the cycle is finished, wipe down the inside of your machine with a soft cloth to remove any remaining residue.

Pro tip: For extra cleaning power, add ½ cup of baking soda to the vinegar solution before starting the cycle. This will help break down any stubborn dirt or grime.

If you have a front-loading washing machine, pour the vinegar solution into the basin and run a regular cycle on hot. Again, don't be alarmed if you see some smoke—this is just the vinegar evaporating. When the process is finished, wipe down the rubber seal around the door to remove any mold or mildew buildup.

If you want to use bleach to disinfect your washing machine:
Mix one cup of bleach with one gallon of hot water.
Pour this solution into your washer's detergent compartment and run a regular cycle on hot.
Leave the lid open when you're finished so that the inside of your washer can air out completely.

To prevent mold and mildew from growing inside your washing machine, leaving the door open between uses is essential. It will allow air to circulate inside the machine and prevent moisture from building up—which is precisely what mold and mildew need to thrive! If you can't leave the door open all the time (for instance, if you have pets), prop it open for an hour or so after each use. Doing this will ensure your washing machine stays nice and fresh between washes.

Following these simple steps, you can easily clean your top-loading or front-loading washing machine and keep it free of harmful bacteria. And don't forget—one of the best ways to keep your washing machine clean is to wash your laundry comforter cover regularly! It will help prevent dirt and grime from building up in your device in the first place. Thanks for reading!
