Cleaning Your Top Loading Washing Machine

• Since a washing machine is there to wash our
  dirty laundry, it can be easy to forget or not
  even realise that the machine itself should be
  cleaned, too. However, despite the fact that we
  use detergents to keep our clothes clean, these
  can in fact build up over time inside the
  machine, causing a combination of soap residue
  and minerals to clog it up and prevent it from
  washing as efficiently as it should.
• There are many different suggestions as to how
  best to clean a top-loading washing machine, but
  the one shown below is incredibly simple,
  non-time consuming, and inexpensive for most
  people

• Get a quart of bleach and a quart of vinegar
• Some prefer not to use bleach as its a harsh
  chemical, but it will eliminate germs and
  bacteria and get things sparkling clean inside
  your machine.
• Fill the empty machine with hot water
• Pour in the quart of bleach and let the machine
  run for around a minute to completely mix the
  bleach into the water. Then open the top of the
  machine and leave the water and bleach
  combination to sit there for at least an hour.

• Run the machine on a cycle
• Once the hour is up, shut the top down and run
  the machine on a complete cycle.
• Repeat the process, but this time using the
  vinegar
• So, when the machine has finished its complete
  cycle, open the top and allow it to fill up with
  hot water again. Then, add the quart of vinegar,
  run the machine for a minute and allow the water
  and vinegar to fully combine. Once the minute is
  up, open the top and let the hot water sit there
  for around an hour before you run the machine on
  a 2nd complete cycle.

• The entire process is so simple and takes just
  over a couple of hours to complete. You should
  immediately notice that the interior of your top
  loading machine feels smoother and looks a
  million times cleaner, which can only be a good
  thing for the items that you intend to wash in
  it. Some machines can get very smelly too, so
  using the bleach and vinegar should help to
  eliminate any nasty odours.
• Do note that there are different methods for
  cleaning front-loading machines, and if cleaning
  your washing machine sounds like one extra chore
  that you dont have the time or inclination to
  complete, then simply add it to the list for your
  cleaner to doand if you dont have a cleaner,
  hire one!
