Raleigh Laundromat: Is it time for your annual spring cleaning!?
Welcome back! In our last post we began spring cleaning our laundry room! Today, we will continue with tips on how to get your washer clean and ready for spring and summer! Most of the time, spring cleaning revolves around cleaning your home from top to bottom and cleaning out closets. It should also be a time to clean your laundry room and make over your laundry routine. Below, you’ll find tips from our Raleigh Laundromat on how to clean your washer!
Top Loaders:
- Cleaning your top loading washing machine is simple, all you need is white vinegar and some cleaning cloths.
- Start by setting your washer to its hottest temperature, highest capacity and longest cycle.
- Add four cups of white vinegar to the hot water, close the lid and allow it to agitate for several minutes.
- Open the lid and allow it to sit for an hour while the vinegar gets rid of hidden bacteria within the washer.
- While the vinegar works for an hour, start cleaning the exterior of your washer.
- Take a microfiber cloth, dip it in the vinegar solution sitting in your washer, and wring it out.
- Wipe down the exterior, lid and control panel, taking care to not get it too wet.
- Carefully remove the bleach reservoir and wipe down around this area where scum and dirt tends to collect.
- Rinse your cloth and remove the softener reservoir from the agitator and wipe the exterior and interior of it as well.
- Close the lid and allow the washer to complete its cycle.
