Remove any clothes or items that might be inside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Run a Hot Water Cycle:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Set your washing machine to the hottest water setting. Run a cycle without any clothes. This helps loosen any dirt or detergent residue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add White Vinegar:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Measure about 1-2 cups of white vinegar, depending on the size of your machine. Pour the vinegar directly into the detergent dispenser or the drum.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start the Wash Cycle:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Run the washing machine through a complete wash cycle. The combination of hot water and vinegar helps break down and remove built-up grime and soap scum.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wipe Down the Exterior:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>While the machine is running, take a microfiber cloth or sponge dampened with vinegar and wipe down the exterior of the washing machine. Pay attention to control panels, knobs, and any other surfaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean the Door Seal:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>If your washing machine has a rubber door seal, inspect it for mold or mildew. Wipe it down with a cloth soaked in vinegar to remove any buildup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean the Detergent Dispenser:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>If your machine has a detergent dispenser, remove it and clean it thoroughly. Soak it in a mixture of vinegar and water if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rinse with Plain Water:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>After the cycle is complete, run a hot water cycle with no vinegar to rinse away any remaining residue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dry and Air Out:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Once the cleaning cycle is finished, leave the washing machine door open to allow it to air out and dry completely. This helps prevent mold and mildew growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>Tips:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Repeat this cleaning process every 1-2 months to maintain a clean and odor-free washing machine.<\/li>\n<li>For stubborn stains or residue, you can use a toothbrush or scrub brush to scrub the hard-to-reach areas.<\/li>\n<li>If you prefer a fragrance, you can add a few drops of essential oil (such as tea tree or lavender) to the vinegar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.currys.biz\/\/i\/currysprod\/80-00-self-cleaning-washing\" alt=\"How to clean a washing machine - and keep it odour free | Currys\" width=\"786\" height=\"311\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Clean Any Washing Machine With Just One Ingredient?
