CLEANING YOUR WASHER

Steps:

• Fill your washer with hot water.
• Add 1 qt of chlorine bleach (no detergent please!).
• Run the washer through the longest wash cycle.
• When the washer is still wet- this should be immediately after the bleach cycle- add 1 qt of white vinegar and run the washer through the same cycle again refilling the tub with hot water.
• This will clean out soap scum and mineral deposits from the spin basket and also from the hoses.

WASHER CLEANER

Steps:

• Set the machine on the highest water level, put the water temperature on hot & set on a "normal" wash cycle.
• Fill a gallon jug with hot tap water.
• When the cycle begins, stop it & add the gallon of water. Be careful not to overfill-you just want to get the water level up high enough to reach that yucky upper rim.
• Next, add 2 to 4 cups of household chlorine bleach. Close the lid & restart the wash cycle.
• After a few minutes, stop the cycle, but don't open the lid.
• Let the washer sit for 30-plus minutes to give the bleach & hot water time to work at removing all the "yuck" you did see & also that you didn't see. Let the machine finish the wash cycle, & then open the lid to air out the inside.
• Your washing machine should be sqeaky-clean & ready to handle laundry.
• Note: Before doing a load of towels, take one & wipe the inside rim of the tub, the farbic softener dispenser & other areas where "yuck" seems to accumulate just to stay on top of buildups that can cause odors!
