If you didn't know this already your washing machine does get dirty. This sounds a little counter-intuitive... Isn't my washing machine made for the purpose of getting my clothes clean? Doesn't all that detergent I use automatically clean the washing machine? How does it get dirty? What detergents do is make the dirty and grim on clothes soluble in water, meaning it lifts the dirt and grim off your clothing and into the water. The detergent doesn't destroy the dirt and grim, detergents just remove them from your clothing.
What you are left with is dirty water and clean clothes. The dirty water is drained out of the machine through the tubing but some of the dirt is bound to get deposited in the tubing as it exits and some also deposits in the basket of the machine. Eventually your washing machine becomes dirty and results in your clothes not being as clean and fresh as they could be.
What to do?
There is a simple way to clean your washing machine this will get rid of the dirt and soap scum that has deposited in the hoses and basket.
This is very simple to do, every couple of months pour two cups of vinegar into your machine and run a normal cycle (with no clothes in the basket). If you have a very dirty machine now, you can do this every week until you feel satisfied. This will not hurt your machine.
