Disinfecting Washers

It may seem strange because it always has soap and bleach swirling around inside it, but you still need to disinfect it at least twice a month. I do the regular disinfecting of washer every week because of soap residues that sticks to the washer.

Cleaning and Disinfecting

1. Locate the stuck-on detergent inside your washing machine. Don't forget to check the lid, too.
2. Scrub off all the caked-on soap gently using a non scratching scouring sponge or old toothbrush and with chlorine bleach. Be sure to feel up underneath the opening. This is an area that is often overlooked.Try to removed soap residue form the fabric softener dispenser.
3. Add 1 cup of bleach to the bleach dispenser, if the machine has one.
4. Run the machine on the heaviest cycle.
