FAQs:
How often should I clean my washing machine?
It’s recommended to clean your washing machine every 1-2 months, but if you notice any unpleasant odors or a decrease in performance, you should clean it sooner.
Can I use other cleaning products instead of vinegar and baking soda?
Yes, you can use specialized washing machine cleaners, but vinegar and baking soda are natural, cost-effective alternatives that work just as well.
Why is my washing machine still smelly after cleaning?
