Soon, you will start noticing that your clothes don’t seem to be getting as clean as they were earlier. This is when you start calling mechanics and start considering switching your machine. Even if you know that it’s your machine that needs cleaning, you don’t have to pay a professional. You can simply do it by yourself.
If you’ve decided to rent a washing machine, to avail the tons of advantages that come with renting stuff instead of buying it; that still does not mean that you hold no responsibility towards the rentedwashing machine. Even when people own a washing machine, they fail to realize that cleaning the machine is something that must be done regularly instead of, well, never.
You of course will need water, but other than that, there are only two things that you need:
- 1 quart of bleach
- 1 quart of white vinegar
Yes, mixing bleach and vinegar is dangerous, but don’t worry, they Are used in different steps, and you will not have to mix them up.
Part 1
Step 1:Empty your washer and fill with hot water and add the quart of bleach.
Step 2:Run the machine for one minute to properly mix the bleach and the water.
Step 3:Open the top of the machine and let it sit with the bleach and water for about an hour.
Step 4:Close the top and let the machine run a cycle. This will drain all the bleach from the washer
Part 2
The second part is exactly the same as the first part. The only difference is that instead of using bleach, use the vinegar. The rest of the steps are exactly the same.
This cleaning process is the same for a washing machine as exfoliation is for your face. Hardly taking a couple of hours and very little money, you yourself will be able to feel the difference on the surface of the washer. It will feel clean and smooth and the clothes will once again be properly washed.
