Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide:
Step 1: Prepare Your Cleaning Solution
Fill your spray bottle with equal parts of white vinegar and water. If you do not have a spray bottle, a bowl will work just fine.
Step 2: Wipe Down the Exterior
Start by cleaning the outside of your washing machine. Use a cloth dipped in the vinegar solution to wipe the machine’s front, sides, and top. Pay attention to knobs and buttons where dirt often accumulates.
Step 3: Clean the Detergent Drawer
Pull out the detergent drawer and use the old toothbrush dipped in the vinegar solution to scrub away residue and buildup. Rinse it thoroughly under hot water to remove any leftover dirt and vinegar solution.
Step 4: Clean the Door Seal
Pull back the rubber seal at the door to check for any trapped debris or mold. Use your vinegar-soaked cloth to thoroughly clean the seal. An old toothbrush can be handy here for reaching into crevices.
