What you'll need:

1. White cleaning vinegar
2. Spray bottle
3. Microfiber cloth
4. 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.
