Cleaning my washing machine is not something I think about all the time. I’ve cleaned it before but I haven’t kept up with it as often as I need to. We bought our laundry system about 9 years ago and went from 2-3 loads of laundry a week to at least 5. Now, with another baby on the way (and cloth diapering), I’m going to need a clean washing machine more often than I have in the past but never really knew where to start.
Thankfully, Oxiclean has developed their own Oxiclean Washing Machine Cleaner. The washing machine cleaner helps remove odor causing residues in a washer. Use one pouch once a month to help keep your washing machine clean!
Because of the state of my washing machine, I decided to start with the extra maintenance by using 1 pouch every week for 3 weeks before doing the once a month maintenance. It’s amazing what you notice just because you cleaned your washing machine. My clothes (especially my towels) smell fresher. It’s not something that everyone would notice but I did after the first cleaning.
Since I did the extra maintenance, a box of cleaner lasted 2 months. However, a box of cleaner will last you 4 months. I also found out through Oxiclean some awesome tips to keep your washing machine fresh that I’d love to share with you.
- Always remove items from washer as soon as the cycle ends.
- After washer cycle is complete, leave door open to allow better ventilation.
- Use only HE compatible detergents in HE washers.
- Leave the dispenser drawer open at the end of washer use.
I’m excited to continue to use the Oxiclean washing machine cleaner especially with us starting to cloth diaper once the baby gets here. I want to make sure we don’t have all kinds of residue sitting in the washing machine all the time. Since trying this washing machine cleaner, I’ve been more excited about making sure our washing machine is as clean as it can be. I suggest you try the cleaner. See how clean you can get your washing machine.
