In 50 years I never needed to clean my washing machine; all of a sudden I smelled the smell! Your technique totally works, I was very happy with the result, and although I should have worn gloves I didn't and had no problems with the vinegar.

[@alexsinclaire8894]

My husband and I have a laundry machine business. We only sell Whirlpool Cabrio and Maytag Cabrio machines. There are made by the same company, so they’re identical machines. When we get them from our suppliers that all need bearings. If your machine sounds like an airplane taking iff, the bearings need to be replaced. When we get our machines they are really dirty. In order to replace the bearings the machine needs to be dismantled right down to the case. If you have this true if machine with a wash plate or agitator take off the cap at the bottom. You’ll see a lot of gunk on it. Soak it and next get the nut out of the center, then you can lift up the wash plate. Disgusting, right? Yeah, I know! Wash that! We go a step further and undo the 5 screws that holds the tub , and we get the tub out. Most are caked with dirt, soap scum, and fabric softener blocking the holes. I get my scrub brush and my hose and scrub the dirt off the tub , then I clean the plastic basket the tub sits in. It’s gross, caked with dirt and smells bad, but it comes right off. If you think your washing machine is clean…I’m here to tell you it’s not. Not at all. You must get into that machine and clean it.

[@katiebarber407]

the fact that you're not trying to sell a cleaning product is the way I think you're being honest. anyone who is trying to sell something obviously has a bias. so good job on not being a MLM

[@quentincastellanos3296]

Hi Andrea, FYI "the disgusting smell gets in there much more quickly" your exactly right, stop using those little beads.. Possibly they penetrate through the porous sidewalls of the washing tub as soon as they can fit through and then they would accumulate in the trap at the bottom near the pump probably blocking the line until they dissolve which would mean the water would sit and start to stink.. Also the little beads would dissolve just enough to make their way into the pump for discharge very likely impacting on the impeller hastening the wear and tear failure of the little plastic fan. So, FYI.. 1) you know it makes your washer stink sooner. 2) now you know it fouls your water trap. 3) and now you are aware of the minute damage to plastic propeller in the water pump. So with a Possibly, Probablyx2, and a very likely, its up to you, good luck!

Hey I just wanted to leave some feedback, I tried this last night and it actually worked... so thank you.

Woot woot!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ajyarlett]

Beware: Always check your manual. Vinegar is sometimes used as a fabric softener or for getting rid of stains and odors in laundry, but as with dishwashers, it can damage the rubber seals and hoses in some washing machines to the point of causing leaks.

[@AndreaJean]

Thanks!

[@shannonthomas8629]

Store bought vinegar is extremely diluted from it's full blown form (acetic acid). Why would vinegar cause rubber seals to break down?

[@piecesoftheheart9231]

@@shannonthomas8629 Yes! Already diluted to 5% then diluted like 1000 to 1 or something in the washer…. One could argue that it does nothing at all, but it’s just impossible that it could cause damage.

[@adog7787]

If acetic acid in dilute solution causes the rubber to leak acids from dirty clothes will do the same, meaning the product is garbage if true. Or it’s not an issue.

[@TheYouTopianProject]

@@adog7787 Your logic suggests that all acids are the same or have the same effect on rubber. Your logic is faulty.

[@FannyPheziwe]

I have a top loader washing machine. Every time I wash, my washing comes out covered in grey dirt. The drum is clean inside as I always wipe it clean after every wash. Thanks for the video I will try this tip and see what happens. ❤

The vinegar and baking soda worked very well per your method, thanks !

[@AndreaJean]

Great to hear!

[@eileentotome3603]

My machine stopped draining and I had to manually empty it. Never used hot water washes coz I felt it made stains stick. Did this and it's drained on its own once so far. Am running a small load of whites in hot water now so feel positive. Thank you.

[@AliceGrayYT]

The hot water helped push the clog out by breaking it down. It has nothing to do with things smelling.

[@merkinatorz7678]

[@johnanderson3700]

I use vinegar as a fabric softener and I routinely add oxiclean and both baking soda and borax to my washes as this helps keep machine clean

[@AndreaJean]

Great tip!

[@laceyharris3357]

Baking soda, salt, and vinager plus a pan of boiling hot water make an AWESOME organic drain clearer. Use equal parts 1cup of all 3 start with salt, baking soda, then the vinegar, wait for it too do it's work about 2/3mins then dump the pan of hot water add a little lemon juice if you want for a clean fresh citrus smell and it also helps to clean as well. From one mom to another! Thanks for the tip on the washing machine. If you take a rag with a little laundry soap (very little) and water(I have a spray bottle I use) and a clean dry rag. Cleans the dry out perfectly!😁

[@AndreaJean]

Thanks!

[@KeeplookingUP777]

I leave my lid open over night to dry out. Today Iam doing this cleaning. Have had my washer for 15 years! Looks new still, but with time you just need a deep clean just for the washer it self. 1.Did you do a hot water cycle? 2. Did you run a large load cycle so the water filled up? Thank You for the information!! 💖🕊💖

[@kuzadupa185]

Your energy and general glow is addictive. The people in your life are lucky to share in that. Great job with the videos. Ive also added at times some "diasmacuteous earth" into my baking soda and vinegar mix if i need extra scrubbing/roughage.

[@AndreaJean]

Wow, thank you!

[@jessicali8594]

White vinegar is a good alternative to petroleum fabric conditioners. Sodium bicarbonate or baking soda can be added to the laundry detergent, as can Borax. Laundry detergent is primarily these last two ingredients.

[@augie2258]

This washer has a clean washer cycle meant to be used with Affresh. Affresh does not smell as strong as Tide. Also the clean washer cycle in intended to be used about every 30 cycles.

[@ElevatorWasher5000]

Choose clean washer with affresh if you can so you can let the washer clean itself.

[@dianne6046]

QUESTION ??? ☆☆☆☆☆☆ How often do you wash the washing machine? **** your right about those commercial cleaners, they are VERY STRONG 😣. 🤗 glad you washed the machine once , NOT twice, as I've got a small hot water system

[@cbreezy1322]

Your commentary is nice. Informative and kinda silly. 😁 Congrats on the baby. Well 2 yrs. Toddler 👍🏼 Going to clean our washer and sink drains and wanted to make sure it was only vinegar and baking soda. Didn't know about cleaning vinegar so I'll look specifically for that. Thanks and Happy New Year

[@diabdia]

I'm a guy and I found this very very helpful! I have a washer from the 80s though in my condo, which has that big middle thing in the middle of the washer, would the solution clean that all up too or is it a good idea to scrub that down as well? Sorry i'm a guy, I don't know these things lmaooo

[@terriseaton3049]

Don’t mind the baby bump? Baby Bumps are Beautiful!

[@ggsholdings7225]

Doesn’t baking soda react with vinegar to make water? So in essence, you are just pouring water into the machine?

[@samanthabasson2212]

I have a similar washing machine. Have you taken off the bottom part? That little middle disk pops off and you can clean underneath where the water drains!

[@Burseygirl84reviews]

Would this work using cold water? My washer is set in the basement to just cold water and I don't know how to switch it back to hot.

[@gregdcross]

2 cups of citric acid and a tablespoon of oxyclean works best for original cleaning, then reduce to 1/2 that dose for monthly cleaning works a lot better and 1/8 the price of specific cleaning pods available and bettet than this version.

[@n3cro1986]

[@kagnewmp12]

Just subscribed and also just bought a brand new Washer and Dryer. It's a top loading washer with the fabric softener bowl built into the top of the drum and the Wife would like to know how to keep that yucky fabric softener build up from taking over her new machine. If you pull the cup off you can see the build up down inside after using it for awhile. Thanks and I guess that baby bump is almost 2 years old now.

[@StubbornMook]

What about for detergent residue in my clothes, should I add the vinegar at the beginning of the wash or add it into the fabric softener hole?...

[@AndreaJean]

Downy makes a rinse aid for this now but you can add vinegar to the fabric softener dispenser too 👍

[@georgeraman2991]

Andrea, the soap and fabric softener dispenser tray on my machine needs some serious cleaning. Have you ever made a video showing how to accomplish this?

you must of read my mind. i was going to ask you about this. esp cleaning around the inside of the top ring part. we have a front load washer &the rubber gasket ring gets so moldy & hard to clean. dog hair &fuss gets trapped under it.i need to get some baking soda.

[@AndreaJean]

Thank you Diana ✨ that gunk sure builds up fast!

[@alexsinclaire8894]

Do yourself a favor and get rid if your front loader. No amount if baking soda can get rid if that mold on the ring. They’re just badly made. I had one, and I got rid if it and bought an LG top loader. No moldy ring!

[@StealthySpace7]

I have the exact same washer and I got the exact same smells

[@monicafrench9267]

How do you get in between the drum and the top part of the machine? Like at the very top if I kind of shift the drum I can sort of get to parts of it but idk if I should try a toothbrush or something? I hate cleaning the washing machine lol so much dog hair!

[@Directionalengineer]

At 3:46 You say this clip is only for busy women.... I am an alpha male who actually cleans, so not voicing a butt hurt report here, however, men should not be discriminated against because of a false narrative perpetuated by certain stereotypes that men don’t clean or are not busy... equal opportunity after all. So equal opportunity means, women can’t discriminate against men either.... it’s offensive. And as we all know in the world of social media, discrimination is illegal. Helpful video though, it actually helped me in my cleaning duties.

[@domenicsandri2740]

Should a rinse cycle be done afterwards?

[@rayamundson8394]

Let top load washer fill with hot water and leave lid open. AS YOU POUR IN a 1 pound bag of citric acid stir in acid then let sit for 2 hours. Shut lid and let it run a full cycle. THIS IS WAY BETTER than the vinegar. Vinegar is a slight acid BUT citric acid cleans AND KILLS mold on contact.

[@makalaneal8908]

So I have the exact same washer and dryer as you do. :-) the odor is terrible! So it needs to be cleaned. I saw a video of someone that popped off the flat agitator at the bottom so I thought I’d try that.. I popped off that little white cap looking piece in the middle of the bottom and it was completely covered in grime. It basically looked like mud. Sooo disgusting! I’m wondering what it looks like under the agitator. I couldn’t get the bolt off so I will just clean with the vinegar and baking soda and have faith that it cleans it, but I’d be curious to see if underneath your cap is still dirty after the vinegar rinse.

[@lovemachine4life]

Would this work for a dishwasher

Have you ever used hydrogen peroxide or Apple cider vinegar to disenfect the inside of your washer? I run my washer on deep wash and I use one of the above. We were told by a washer repair person to use ACV as it also kills off bacteria and mold.
