2. For front-loading washing machines, you need to clean the filter, the detergent drawer, the rubber gasket around the door, and the drum.

You can use vinegar, baking soda, bleach, or washing machine cleaner tablets for this purpose. Some of the steps are:

1. • Place a shallow basin under the filter door and slowly unscrew the filter. Drain the water and remove any hair or debris from the filter. Use a small brush and vinegar to clean the filter and rinse it with water. Put the filter back into the machine and screw it tightly.
   • Pull out the detergent drawer and soak it in hot water and vinegar. Use a toothbrush to scrub away any dirt or mold. Rinse the drawer with fresh water and put it back into the machine.
   • Wipe down the rubber gasket around the door with a microfiber cloth. Use a toothbrush and vinegar to clean the crevices of the gasket. Remove any debris or gunk that may be trapped between the gasket and the door.

• Add about two cups of vinegar or baking soda, or one washing machine cleaner tablet, to the detergent drawer. Run a cleaning cycle or a hot water cycle to clean the drum of the machine. You can also add some lavender essential oil to the vinegar for a pleasant smell.
• Wipe down the inside of the drum with a microfiber cloth to remove any residue.

By following these steps, you can deep clean both types of washing machines and keep them smelling fresh and working efficiently. You should do this at least once a month, or more often if you notice any bad odors or poor performance. You should also leave the door and the dispenser drawer open after each wash to prevent mold growth. I hope this helps! .

Have a wonderful day!

When is comes to common drain issues, cleaning drains with baking soda and vinegar is often recommended as a DIY solution. The idea behind this is that when you mix baking soda and vinegar, a chemical reaction occurs that creates a fizzy foam that can help break up clogs and clear your drain.

Here are the steps to unclog a drain with baking soda and vinegar:

Step 1: Heat boiling water

Heat boiling water in a tea kettle on the stovetop or in a large pourable measuring cup in the microwave. You will need about four cups of boiling water for this method.

Step 2: Pour the boiling water down the drain

Pour the boiling water down the drain to dissolve and wash away any grease or oil clogs. Be careful not to burn yourself with the hot water.

Step 3: Pour baking soda into the drain

Pour half a cup of baking soda into the drain. You can use a funnel to make it easier to pour directly into the drain opening. Baking soda is a natural cleaner and deodorizer that can help break down organic materials in the drain.

Step 4: Pour vinegar into the drain slowly

Pour half a cup of vinegar into the drain slowly. You can use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar for this step. Don’t be surprised by the audible reaction that occurs. Baking soda is an alkaline substance and vinegar is a mild acetic acid. When the two are mixed, they react somewhat dramatically to neutralize one another; the fizzing action you hear is the reaction that will often dislodge clogs in your drain.

Step 5: Cover the drain with a cloth

Cover the drain with a cloth or a drain plug to keep the reaction down below the drain surface. This will help build up pressure and force the clog to move. Let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes to an hour.

Step 6: Remove the cloth

Remove the cloth or drain plug and flush the drain with more boiling water. This will help clear out any remaining debris or residue from the drain. If the drain is now flowing, run hot tap water for a few minutes to rinse the drain. If the drain is still clogged, repeat the previous steps or try a different method.

Please note that this method is not guaranteed to work for all types of clogs. If the clog persists, it may be necessary to use a plunger or call a professional plumber.
