1. Deep Cleaning Sessions

While you may want your washing machine to clean every strand of dirt from your clothes, if you don’t take care of the machine’s cleanliness, this may not really happen.

Based on how frequently you use your washing machine, give it a regular deep cleanup.

Also, note that if the water in your locality is hard, your machine may require a deeper and more frequent cleaning.

2. Use a Qualified Machine Cleaner

It may get difficult to clean your machine without using a machine cleaner.

And we all know the results of washing clothes in a dirty machine. Who wants that?

Keep your machine and clothes clean and safe. Use a qualified machine cleaner that can help you get rid of all dust particles hidden in the deep, dark corners of your washing machine and its components

Also, you don’t particularly need to buy a super-expensive cleaner. You can get an Affresh Washer cleaner, and it’ll do the job.

3. Don’t Overload

We all have those moments when we want to wash a big heavy pile of dirty clothes, all at once.

Undoubtedly, it looks like a great time saver. But is it really worth it?

Well, oversized washing loads can deeply damage the washer. As a result, after some time, you may have to send the machine out for repair.

It’ll take time, plus cost you money, and it can also reduce the overall life of your washing machine.

So, don’t overload. Whenever there’s a heavy load to wash, make sure you split it into multiple smaller loads.

4. Don’t Overpour the Detergent

While using a small pinch of detergent will keep your clothes from being cleaned, too much detergent will affect the machine’s health leaving residues in its washer.

So, never overpour the detergent into the machine.

Whenever you are cleaning your laundry, make sure you read the detergent manufacturer’s guidelines about its usage.

5. Run a Few Empty Loads Every Month

Another great tactic to keep your machine healthy and running is to run a few (two to three) empty loads of hot water and two cups of white vinegar every month.

This will clean up your machine’s different parts without you doing much.

Also, for better results, you can pour in half a cup of detergent in the middle of these empty runs.

It’s a quick and efficient way of cleaning up your washing machine.

6. Don’t Leave Laundry Inside Any of the Vessels for Too Long

Many of us may be guilty of setting our machine on a timer and getting busy with one task or the other, forgetting about the load that’s lying in the vessel.

Even though we don’t do this on purpose, we should be more careful about how we treat our washing machine.

Leaving a wet or dry load of clothes in any of the vessels can adversely affect the machine’s health.

So, when you have laundry in the machine, keep your ears active for the alarm, and transfer loads at the earliest.

Final Words

To get clean and fresh clothes after every wash, we must take the right care of our washing machines. In this post, we shared six tips for doing so.

Hopefully, this was helpful.
