Say Goodbye To Funky Odors: How To Clean Your Washing Machine

Dirty laundry can lead to a compromised washing machine. Throughout our daily activities, our clothes and linens accumulate not only dirt and unpleasant odors but also potentially harmful bacteria and viruses. Items such as your child's sports gear, pet bedding, and even your underwear can harbor impurities that negatively affect your washing machine's performance.

Here's how to ensure your washing machine stays clean:

1. Clean the Detergent Drawer:

The detergent drawer is a breeding ground for mold, bacteria, and lingering detergent. Regular cleaning is essential. If possible, remove the drawer, spray it with an antibacterial cleaner, scrub it thoroughly, rinse with water, and wipe it dry before reattaching it to the washing machine.

2. Freshen up the Filter and Door Seal:

The filter and door seal trap dirt, lint, tissues, and other debris. Clean the filter thoroughly and wipe down the door seal regularly to prevent buildup.

3. Use an Antibacterial Washing Machine Cleaner:

Even if your washing machine appears clean, hidden pockets of dirt may persist. Utilize a potent cleaner like GermOff 2 in 1 during an empty wash to eliminate bacteria, odors, hidden dirt, limescale, and mold. Repeat this process every two months to maintain long-lasting freshness.

4. Combat Bacteria with Antibacterial Laundry Cleanser:

Incorporate our Antibacterial Laundry Cleanser as an additive in your regular laundry loads, even in colder wash cycles. This product efficiently eliminates odor-causing bacteria on clothes and provides 12-hour freshness, even when damp clothes are left in the washing machine.

Despite being often overlooked during spring cleaning, your washing machine requires attention for optimal hygiene. For additional tips and information on maintaining a hygienic home, visit our tips page.
