Clean Washing Machine

Sanitize the drum and door seals of your washer to remove detergent buildup and mold, ensuring your clothes come out smelling fresh and clean.

Pro Tips
Leaving the washing machine door open after each use allows the interior to dry and prevents mildew and odors.
Clean the detergent dispenser every few months to prevent mold or residue buildup.
Running a cycle with hot water, vinegar, and baking soda helps remove detergent residue and eliminates bad odors in the washing machine.
Clean the door seal and gasket regularly to avoid mold buildup, especially in front-load washers.
