You’ll also want to address the other parts of the washing machine. This includes the detergent compartments, the rim, under the lid, and any other nooks and crannies you can see. Make a paste using baking soda and vinegar, or use bleach if you want a really good clean. Use an old toothpaste to scrub all of those areas thoroughly, then wipe down with a damp cloth.
If you keep in mind these tips and clean your washing machine every so often, your machine (and your clothes!) will thank you. Thanks to Apartment Therapy for sharing this helpful information!
