Your washing machine over time could get pretty dirty, believe it or not. Those accumulated and trapped dirt are on those little holes and nooks that you can’t reach by just simple cleaning. Eventually, this can cause a bad odor to emit from your washing machine drum, and that unpleasant smell could transfer to your laundry even after you’re done washing it. So, it’s best to tackle the root of the problem to avoid these mishaps in the future.

Luckily, there is an easy and quick way to clean your washing machine without having to use a lot of effort in scrubbing, and you don’t even need to buy any special cleaning product.

The step is pretty straightforward, all you need to do it to throw the steel wool sponge into the drum of your washing machine, then add in a few tablespoons of baking soda along with it. Close the door of your machine, then set it to a high temperature, preferably 90 degrees, and run it as usual. After about 15 minutes, remove the steel wool from the drum, then close the door, and continue the cycle until it finishes.
