There may be a time where your clothes smell even after washing them. It may be because you might need to clean your washing machine.

You may already have these supplies in your pantry and it’s a simple and easy process. It’s a healthier way to get rid of the stinky smell and having your clothes smelling fresh again. This cleaning routine will help maintain a smelling washing machine and remove the odors.

Materials:

  • 4 cups cleaning vinegar
  • 1 cup baking soda
  • scrub brushes, toothbrush, Mr. Clean eraser

Directions:

First, turn your washer to its hottest, largest, and longest setting. Add the cleaning vinegar and while the water is running, take some of the water and start rinsing some of the parts with the vinegar. When the washing machine tub is full, stop the cycle and let it sit for about an hour.

Next, during that hour, use the toothbrush and other brush to scrub any dirty marks on the inside and outside of the washing machine. After, turn the cycle back on and put it as the same setting before, but half a cycle. Put a cup of baking soda at the bottom and let it run through its cycle.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
