Washing machines stay cleaner if you do a simple task

Many people forget to clean their washing machines. They can get mouldy and full of germs if not cleaned. The rubber seal and detergent drawer get mouldy first.

A cleaning brand called Branch Basics has a simple way to keep washing machines clean.

The first step takes only five seconds: remove moisture from areas where mould grows.

Mould needs food and water to grow. It cannot grow without them.

Mould cannot grow in your washing machine without food and water.

Leave the washing machine door and drawer open to remove moisture.

Moisture and soap can accumulate around the washing machine door and drawer after laundry.

This can make clothes smell bad and damage the rubber seal.

Leaving the door and drawer open helps prevent mould from growing.

Clean the washing machine door edges once a month to remove soap and limescale.

Cleaning the washing machine door is simple. Use white vinegar, which has antibacterial properties.

Pour white vinegar into the detergent drawer and set the washing machine to a hot wash cycle.

Choose a quick wash or let it run for 10 minutes. Then, turn it off and let it sit overnight.

In the morning, run a full wash cycle to remove any mould.

Use white vinegar to wipe down the rubber lining and detergent drawer.

Keeping your washing machine clean is easy. Follow these steps for fresher laundry.
