Spring cleaning tips 5
1. Clean the washing machine. A dirty machine won’t wash clothes – sounds too obvious right? I challenge you, pull out the soap draw and look at the bottom. I bet it’s covered in a mixture of old squiddey soap scum and mould. All the clean water goes into the machine via that – eww! Get the soap draw into the sink for a scrub. Then once that’s clean put it back and put the machine on a hot programme without laundry in. It’s best to use something like a few Calgon tablets, or a bottle of white vinegar instead of more laundry soap. Heck, sometimes I just use bleach. It will need a good rinse but if you can reduce the spin speed you might as well as it will only need a basic drain not a super fast spin as there won’t be fabrics in there.
