====== Cleaning a front-loading washing machine ======

What you'll need:

  - White cleaning vinegar
  - Spray bottle
  - Microfiber cloth
  - Baking soda

What you'll do:

  * Before cleaning the washer drum, clean the gasket by spraying it with white vinegar and wiping with a damp microfiber cloth. The rubber gasket at the front of the washer, especially in a high-efficiency (HE) washer, accumulates water, hair, scum and mildew.
  * Set the washer to the highest level and the hottest water temperature.
  * Add two cups of white cleaning vinegar to detergent dispenser.
  * Run it through a complete cycle.
  * Run another cycle on the highest level and at the hottest water temperature, this time adding one-half cup of baking soda to the drum.
  * When cycle is done, wipe inside drum of washer with a damp microfiber cloth.
  * While you’re at it, wipe down the front of the machine, too.
