So here is a suggestion from Somewhat Simple to help you clean the machine that cleans your clothes! One guess for the product you’ll use…white vinegar! Yet again, another use for this inexpensive, everyday kitchen staple.

Let it set for 1 hour, then start the washing machine over again and let it run through a complete cycle.
When the machine drains if it still has grime on it, use a sponge and some straight white vinegar and scrub it down really well.

Restart the washing machine and let it run through a complete cycle.
Once the cycle has finished you are done; your washing machine will be clean and shiny!
