HOW TO CLEAN A WASHING MACHINE

Step 2:
Start the washing machine over again and let it run through a complete cycle.
When I drained my washing machine it still had some grime on it so I got a sponge out and scrubbed it down really well.  I added straight white vinegar to my sponge and the grime came off pretty easily. Look at how much better it is!

Step 3:
Fill the washing machine up again and pour in 1 to 2 cups of bleach. Let it soak for 1 hour.
Step 4:
While the washer is soaking use a couple of Q-Tips and detail all the nooks and crannies of the washer.
Look at how clean mine was after detailing it!  I seriously don’t think it has been this clean since my dad bought it 15+ years ago!

I even scrubbed the lid and all of the knobs!  Nice and shiny again.
Step 5:
Restart washing machine and let it run through a complete cycle.
I have to say I’m pretty happy with the results!  Now that I know how easy this is to do I’d recommend washing your washing machine at least once a year.  It’s the perfect thing to add to your spring cleaning list!
Here are my before and after pictures again, pretty amazing!
