Why Cleaning Washing Machine Regularly Is A Must
There are a lot of reasons you should clean your washer, inside and out, on a regular basis. The main one is that although your washing machine is designed to clean your clothes, it gets lots of yucky stuff in it on a regular basis, from potty accidents, washing underclothes, and general dirt and debris we collect on our clothes and other washable fabrics.
All this stuff leaves a film of bacteria, mold and mildew in your machine, along with build up from detergent residue and hard water, that can combine over time to make a yucky smelly mess.
Washing your clothes in a dirty machine makes your clothes not as clean, and may even transfer a stinky smell to them, or get them contaminated with bacteria. Can you say "gross" when you consider fecal material bacteria from your child's underwear or diaper on your kitchen towel? Ewww.
Fortunately, a little preventative and regular maintenance on your machine can make it feel like brand new again and keep everything clean as it should be.
