While our washing machine over work everyday, have you ever wonder how you can give it a little TLC so that your clothes stay fresh, dry and clean? Here are some steps to help you maintain that important appliance at home!
1) Lid Open – as much as possible, leave the lid of your washing machine open
2) Do Not Use More Than What You Need – more detergent does not mean cleaner clothes. Often times, it just mean that we have more detergent residue in the machine after a wash.
3) Clean Your Washing Machine – yes! Clean your washing machine frequently to ensure fresh clean clothes.
