In today’s busiest living style, there is no doubt that home appliances have helped a great deal in making our lives easier. All kitchen and home appliances work harder to help us maintaining our home and accomplishing the chores.

Do you know how much maintenance these appliances need so to improve their performance and longevity? For instance, even if you have bought the best washing machine brand, it carries loads of clothing in its drum to get them clean. It’s obvious that the machine will get dirty inside after frequent use. It can wear out over time since filth can accumulate inside the machine. This is the reason why we must maintain its appropriate cleanliness. Here, our experts will guide some simple steps for how to clean your washing machine appropriately:

Preset Your Washing Machine to the Highest Level

To whichever washing machine you are using (either front load or top load) you need to select the highest levels. For example, the longest wash, greatest load size and hotter water setting. In this way, your washing machine will get a thorough cleaning inside when you’ll be using heavy loads of clothing for cleaning.

Use a Mixture of Bleach or White Vinegar with Water for Cleaning

For a perfect cleaning, you can either use a mixture of water and white vinegar or bleach. Our experts usually recommend using vinegar instead of bleach because it is harmful to our health. Open the lid, put this solution in the machine drum and select the wash cycle. Never use both the ingredients (bleach and white vinegar) at the same time since it can cause some chemical reaction.

Use a Cup of Baking Soda for Better Cleaning

Let the previous mixture be melded in its first wash cycle prior to opening the lid again. Now, add one cup of baking soda and allow this new mixture to spin in the washing machine for around an hour.

Run another Hot Wash Cycle with a Quarter of White Vinegar

Why we suggest giving another hot wash cycle with a quarter of white vinegar is to remove any of the residues left inside the machine. It’s obvious that the use of baking soda can leave some residues behind.

Clean All Parts of the Washing Machine Appropriately

If you are using twin tub washer and spinner or single tub washer, then you’ll know that these machines have removable parts too. Once adding the above solutions and completing the wash cycle, clean the removable parts and let them dry completely before putting them back inside the machine.

You can use a toothbrush to clean under the lid, an upper part of the agitator and round the rim of the drum. Use a wet piece of cloth to wipe down the dial, front lid and console. We also suggest wiping the sides and front of the washing machine in order to improve its lifespan. You can use a vinegar solution for cleaning the outer parts of the washing machine.

When finding the best washing machine brand, you can ask from our experts about its maintenance tips or call our technician any time to get all such services.
