Today’s Thursday Cleaning Challenge is to clean out the pipes in your washing machine. This won’t take but about 5 minutes. Get the owner’s manual that I know you have out every day and find out how to dismantle the inflow and outflow valves and clean out every connection and tube that carries water in and out of your washing machine. You would be surprised how much junk gets trapped in those tubes. Here is a trick to this … Please read.
You really didn’t think I was serious, did you??????????
Just kidding. What I want you to do is fill your rinse cycle and your bleach cycle with vinegar and run a load of clothes. Do this for the next 2 loads you wash and it will clean out your washing machine. Your clothes will not smell and they will be extra soft as vinegar is a natural fabric softener and whitener.
omg…..when i first started reading this i thought to myself “i never knew i was supposed to do that and i really don’t think i’m the person that should be doing that!!!!” i’m very good at taking things apart…unfortunately, i can never get them back together.
Which type of vinegar is recommended for this? The regular clear vinegar?
Thanks,
Cindy
I always use white distilled vinegar to use to clean.
