Surface Cleaning

Whether your washer is painted steel or porcelain coated, it’s safe to use steel detergent and a damp cloth to clean the surfaces. If your machine is porcelain coated, then you can also use a small amount of non-abrasive cleaners for stains that do not seem to go away.

Clean Your Washing Machine

Over time, your washing machine can accumulate stains from dirty clothes, cloths and towels. One of the ways you can clean your washing machine is to set it off without any clothes in it. Your machine will have to be empty, because otherwise the components of your detergent will be attracted to your laundry. There could be a build up of bacteria in your machine, so it is important to do this around once a month.

Over and Under-Loading

Try not to overload your machine as it will lead to an unsatisfactory wash, causing the movement of your laundry to be restricted. Overloading may cause problems and damage your machine; with strain being placed on the washer’s drum. In addition to over loading, it is not advisable to under load either, as this will lead to excessive energy consumption, which will cause your bills to increase and be detrimental to the environment. To get the best results, fill your washing machine to approximately two thirds full.
