I don’t know about you, but from time to time I smell something kind of funky coming from my washing machine, and I don’t mean after leaving wet clothes sitting for a long time, which is a real no-no. Because your washing machine is constantly using water and washing fabrics, it can get gunky and smelly due to mildew and mold buildup.
The following instructional video shows you how to keep your washer and dryer, both clean and safe. YouTuber Melissa Maker from “Clean My Space” offers really helpful and easy-to-follow steps on how to do so. There are various parts, such as the gasket, which tend to accumulate mold and mildew, and should be periodically scrubbed.
Flushing out the drum can also be a good way to refresh your washer. There are certain products in our day-to-day use that amazingly seem to have multiple uses. The two that are so effective, as discussed in the upcoming footage are: BAKING SODA and VINEGAR!
Maker does a really complete job of walking you through the steps for getting rid of smells in your washer due to mold and mildew. She then continues to show you basic tricks for clearing your dryer of lint, even the secret places that it hides! This information will not only allow your machines to run most efficiently, but in the case of your dryer can be a fire preventative!
