there is!
Front loading washing machines are by far the most popular type of washing machine in the UK. They do have a tendency to harbour unpleasant odours, however, and can accumulate mould. A monthly clean will avoid these problems and have your clothes cleaner into the bargain!
You may already have the ingredients I am suggesting. If not, they won’t cost you much. Some people recommend bleach but my way is a more eco-friendly way of achieving the same thing.
What you need:
• 2 cups of vinegar
• ¼ cup of bicarbonate of soda
• ¼ cup of water
• A sponge scourer
How it works:
1. Mix the bicarbonate of soda together with the water in a small bowl. This is the effective detergent for cleaning your machine. Pour the vinegar into a separate measuring jug.
2. Pour the bicarbonate of soda mix into the detergent drawer of your machine. The vinegar should be poured into the drum. Set the machine for a normal wash at the highest temperature. Close the door, press ‘start’ and let it do its work. The combined mixtures break up any mould and deposits while cleaning the machine.
3. Use a clean scourer to wipe off any stubborn deposits, especially around the door opening. Finally, wipe round again with clean water.
Repeat once a month and I’ll bet you will see many years of fresh and clean clothes!
