Front Load Washer - Cleaning tip:
Cleaning right after a completed load so that there is water and easier to clean. Before cleaning move the washer about 2 feet from the wall. Tip the washer back towards the wall. Remove the front filter if accessible. Clean and reinstall. This method prevents having to remove the water to check the filter.
Ratio of 1:1 for baking soda to vinegar.
I recommend putting non diluted vinegar (DO NOT DILUTE VINEGAR) into a spray bottle. Put 2-3 cups of baking soda into the empty drum Spinning the drum with the baking soda to help evenly distribute the baking soda. Spray the vinegar throughout the drum as you’re spinning it.
Make sure the 3/4 drain ports on the drum boot or silicone are free from lint and hair. Spray the vinegar all around the silicone boot and glass door. Let sit for 30 minutes before scrubbing to soften calcium and mineral deposits. Scrubbing the boot with cup brush or toothbrush where you see signs of mildew and dirt.
Remove the soap dispenser and remove the covers and clean inside the cavity with a cup brush or toilet brush. Then put 1 cup of baking soda 1/3 cup at a time and chase with vinegar. Remember using 1:1 ratio for baking soda and vinegar.
Let it sit over the weekend or 2-3 days. Run the hottest wash to help clean. No need to wash empty. Washing clothes with vinegar doesn’t make clothes smell like vinegar. Vinegar is a great substitute for clothes softener. It doesn’t cost as much and free of chemicals.
Daily tip: Always leave the door open at least 8-10 inches and the detergent dispenser tray pulled out at least half way.
