How To Clean Your Washing Machine

Keith, one of our technicians, is here today to share with you how to clean and maintain your washer so that it will last longer and save you money.



Surprisingly, your washer needs to be cleaned frequently throughout the year. For front-load washers we recommend to clean it 3-4 times per year. If you do more loads, roughly once a day, we recommend that you clean it about 6 times per year.

Affresh Washer Cleaner and wipes are what we recommend to clean your washer. Especially for front load washers, bacteria can build up and cause your washer to smell and even have your clothes not clean as well.

For top-load washers, you do not have to clean them as often. This is because there is more open space by the lid for water to evaporate. You can use bleach to kill bacteria, but it won't actually remove the bacteria which is why using professional cleaners like Affresh is better because it will kill and completely get rid of the bacteria.
