Cleaning the washing machine...

Applemoon · Nov 5, 2012

Hey Ladies,,

Kindly give me some tips to clean the washing machine.. I mean the insides of the washing machine..

I have a front loader and I wash everything in that.. Everything from the daily clothes, bedsheets, doormats, rags, etc...(except my infants clothes)

After the wash the doormats / rags I just run the empty washing machine with a detergent and later wipe it clean with a cloth.... is that cleaning enough???

Now that I have decided to put my kiddos clothes also in the washing machine.. atleast for the rinsing... How should I clean it???

I heard baking powder and vinegar is good for cleaning but dont know how to use it....

Hi applemoon,
You should clean thewaste collector located near bottom of your machine. In LG front load its on left side . It stores all the dirt. You can check your machine's user manual for more cleaning instructions

Thanx deepd,

I do clean the lint collecter once in a while.. is that enough??

Yes it is...But along with this I would suggest you not to put Doormats and all in machine. They contain so much dirt sometimes hair too !! and some mats have fibres and threads coming out... these things can get stuck somewhere....
