• Soft cloth or sponge

Instructions

1️⃣ Clean the Detergent Drawer

• Remove the detergent tray (if possible) and soak in warm water + a splash of vinegar.
• Use a soft brush or cloth to scrub away residue and mold.
• Rinse and dry before putting it back.

2️⃣ Run a Vinegar Cycle

• Top-loading machine:
  1. Fill the drum with hot water (largest load setting).
  2. Add 2 cups of white vinegar.
  3. Let it agitate for a few minutes, then pause and let it soak for 1 hour.
  4. Resume the cycle to complete.
• Front-loading machine:
  1. Pour 2 cups vinegar into the detergent drawer or drum.
  2. Run a hot water cycle (empty drum).

3️⃣ Optional: Add Baking Soda for Extra Cleaning

• Sprinkle ½ cup baking soda directly into the drum during the vinegar cycle for deeper cleaning and odor removal.

4️⃣ Wipe Down

• After the cycle, use a soft cloth to wipe the drum, door, and gasket (especially for front-loaders, where mildew collects).

5️⃣ Air Out

• Leave the lid or door open to let the interior dry completely. This prevents mold and mildew.

💡 Tips:

• Clean your washing machine once a month for best results.
• Avoid harsh chemicals — vinegar + baking soda is gentle on machine parts.
• For stubborn odors, repeat or soak the gasket overnight with a vinegar solution.
