Keep your washing machine and dryer clean with these steps

You might think that your washing machine doesn’t need a deep clean because it is constantly cleaning clothes, and surely that will keep the machine itself clean too. Unfortunately, no. Bacteria can build up in your machine, causing problems like unpleasant smells. Luckily, a regular light clean combined with a deep clean three or four times a year can tackle this. To deep clean your machine, start with your detergent drawer. Use your regular cleaning spray and an old toothbrush to scrub away any build-up both inside the drawer and in the cavity it fits into. Dry thoroughly before reinserting into the machine.
