How To Clean Your Washing Machine?
When a machine built for cleaning purposes ends up getting dirty and damaged itself, it leads to a range of different problems. Washing machines need to be handled with care and should be given the right amount of maintenance on a regular basis. People often make the mistake of assuming that a washing machine need not be cleaned on a regular basis. As the machine deals with water, there are chances of it developing rust over time.
Moreover, as dirty clothes are washed by the machine on a regular basis, the dirt and stains from the fabric are likely to affect the interiors of your washing machine over time. If you leave the gadget unattended for way too long, the rust and stains may get more stubborn, making it difficult to clean the washing machine effectively.
If you want a clean washing machine to yourself, all you need is a can of WD-40 Multi Use Product that works its magic within a few minutes. The powerful liquid allows you to clean the interiors and exteriors of your gadget, helping you restore its looks and making it as good as new. WD-40 penetrates the rust and stains effectively, loosening the particles and making it extremely easy for you to clean the machine.
If you want a neat and tidy washing machine to yourself, here are the steps you need to follow:
Things you will need
A rag
Lemon juice (optional)
Vinegar (optional)
Baking soda (optional)
Step 1
Make Sure That Your Washing Machine Is Clean And Empty
Before doing anything else, it is important to ensure that your washing machine is clean and empty. If it has any clothes, remove them from the machine before you start cleaning it. You can also carry out a quick cleaning and dusting session to have your gadget in a good condition before you start working on it.
Step 2
Start Cleaning The Interiors
Although there is no correct order to follow while cleaning your washing machine, it is advisable to clean your gadget inside out. The interiors of your machine are likely to be affected by the stains on your clothes as they are rinsed regularly. If you fail to clean the interiors of your washing machine, it may affect the fabrics of the clothes you add for being washed.
While many people prefer using lemon juice or distilled vinegar for cleaning the interiors of their washing machines, they often take longer to clear the machine off the rust and stains.
To clean the insides of the machine without wasting any time, all you need to do is get a can of WD-40 Multi Use Product and spray it on the affected areas. A few simple sprays would help you cover almost all affected areas inside your washing machine. Once you have sprayed WD-40, let it settle for a few minutes before you wipe the stains and impurities with a rag. This would make the interiors crystal clear, smooth, and safe from rust for quite some time.
Step 3
Clean The Exteriors
If the exteriors of your washing machine are rusted, it is important to deal with them as the rust may seep inside in no time. If your washing machine stays exposed to moisture for too long, its exteriors are likely to get rusty and corroded over time. This makes it important to get rid of rust and all other stains with the help of WD-40.
Although many people prefer using baking soda and vinegar for cleaning the exteriors of their washing machines, this can be a time-consuming process, especially if you are dealing with stubborn rust stains.
When you spray a little WD-40 on the outsides of your gadget, let it sit for a while, and clean the surface using a rag, the work gets done within a few minutes without any hassles. The process of cleaning the exteriors of your washing machine is the same as discussed in the previous step.
Final Word
This is how simple it is to clean your washing machine with the help of the WD-40 Multi Use Product. The product allows you to get your gadget cleaned and protects it from rust and a range of other potential impurities that may hamper its functionality in the future.
