Welcome to the ultimate guide on how to keep your front loading washing machine squeaky clean! From banishing bacteria to restoring shine, we've got you covered with our easy-to-follow steps.



Step 1: Drum Deep Clean

Your washing machine's drum is a hotspot for bacteria, mold, and dirt buildup. Fear not! Our powerful citric acid cleaners are here to save the day. Simply pour a packet of our EPA Safer Choice certified Washing Machine Cleaner into the drum, close the washer door, and run a wash cycle at the longest and hottest setting. For an even deeper clean, add two tablespoons of our Dish Detergent Booster to target those pesky stains and keep your drum sparkling clean!


Step 2: Gasket TLC

Don't neglect the rubber gasket around your washer's door—it's a prime spot for mold and grime. Discover how to give it some love with our Lime Calcium and Rust Remover Spray. First, wipe the rubber gasket clean with a rag and, then spray the rubber gasket area. Work in the spray with a clean microfiber towel, thoroughly cleaning the front load washer gasket seal to ensure that there is no leftover mold or grime.

 

Step 3: Cleaning the Soap Dispenser

Remove the detergent dispenser from your front-load washer. Soak it in hot water, then scrub with a sponge or brush using a few drops of our Dish Detergent Soap, your secret weapon against hard water buildup and scum. Once clean, air dry or wipe with a microfiber cloth before reassembling in the washer.


Step 4: Exterior Elegance

Make your washer shine from the outside in! Discover the best way to dust and spritz your washer with our Glass + Surface Cleaner. Watch as the microfiber cloth works its magic, leaving your appliance gleaming.


Step 5: Rinse and Refresh

Finish off with a rinse and spin cycle to clear out any residual cleaning agents. Don't forget to dry the drum thoroughly or leave the door ajar to prevent mildewy smells. Your washer will thank you!


There you have it—a spotless front loading washing machine in just a few simple steps! Keep your laundry routine fresh and your washer shining bright with our expert tips. Happy cleaning!
