Toomuch work
Thanks, Appreciate you. 🔥🙏🔥

Put citric acid in your toilet and watch what happens! Way better
a 45 sec clip takes six and a half
In 50 years I never needed to clean my washing machine; all of a sudden I smelled the smell! Your technique totally works, I was very happy with the result, and although I should have worn gloves I didn't and had no problems with the vinegar.
We do not get tired watching you although the videos are longer than other cleaning channels because you are not stressed out. You are relaxed. We can feel your joy,your passion and we feel relaxed when watching you. It is like we enjoy watching a good, interesting movie.
I enjoy your videos, which are a wealth of info. Thank you. You are relaxing to listen to as well as your calming voice....This saves us from trying to figure these tips on our own. You make these very easy to follow!
Thanks for the video this was such a good tip! Also I appreciate you putting baking soda and vinegar in the title it made things a lot easier and I feel like others don't put that there so we have to click.
You have so much joy and energy. With four children, how can you find so much energy and passion to keep house clean? Please show us the secret.
Would you do videos about finances, like how to budget, how to save money on groceries etc...? Thanks.
Thank you! I’m 7 months pregnant and a cleaning MACHINE. This was so simple! I’ll try this ASAP.
Thank you so much for this video! I love the simplicity of it. I just cleaned my washing machine and WOW!!!!
You are so welcome!
Your energy and general glow is addictive. The people in your life are lucky to share in that. Great job with the videos. Ive also added at times some "diasmacuteous earth" into my baking soda and vinegar mix if i need extra scrubbing/roughage.
Wow, thank you!
I just did this. My whole house smells better! Thanks 😊
Wonderful!
I watched this video to clean my washer a year ago. Coming back to it again to do abother deep clean. Great video and amazing results. Thank you
Awesome! Thank you!
Your commentary is nice. Informative and kinda silly. 😁 Congrats on the baby. Well 2 yrs. Toddler 👍🏼 Going to clean our washer and sink drains and wanted to make sure it was only vinegar and baking soda. Didn't know about cleaning vinegar so I'll look specifically for that. Thanks and Happy New Year
young adult learning adulting stuff over here, appreciate the vid
That is the best washing machine ever made hands down. I have one at my house, the beach house and the lake house!
You have three houses? Why?
Hi Andrea, FYI "the disgusting smell gets in there much more quickly" your exactly right, stop using those little beads..
Possibly they penetrate through the porous sidewalls of the washing tub as soon as they can fit through and then they would accumulate in the trap at the bottom near the pump probably blocking the line until they dissolve which would mean the water would sit and start to stink.. Also the little beads would dissolve just enough to make their way into the pump for discharge very likely impacting on the impeller hastening the wear and tear failure of the little plastic fan. So, FYI.. 1) you know it makes your washer stink sooner. 2) now you know it fouls your water trap. 3) and now you are aware of the minute damage to plastic propeller in the water pump. So with a Possibly, Probablyx2, and a very likely, its up to you, good luck!
Purex Crystals Ftw
The vinegar and baking soda worked very well per your method, thanks !
Great to hear!
My husband and I have a laundry machine business. We only sell Whirlpool Cabrio and Maytag Cabrio machines. There are made by the same company, so they’re identical machines. When we get them from our suppliers that all need bearings. If your machine sounds like an airplane taking iff, the bearings need to be replaced. When we get our machines they are really dirty. In order to replace the bearings the machine needs to be dismantled right down to the case. If you have this true if machine with a wash plate or agitator take off the cap at the bottom. You’ll see a lot of gunk on it. Soak it and next get the nut out of the center, then you can lift up the wash plate. Disgusting, right? Yeah, I know! Wash that! We go a step further and undo the 5 screws that holds the tub , and we get the tub out. Most are caked with dirt, soap scum, and fabric softener blocking the holes. I get my scrub brush and my hose and scrub the dirt off the tub , then I clean the plastic basket the tub sits in. It’s gross, caked with dirt and smells bad, but it comes right off.
If you think your washing machine is clean…I’m here to tell you it’s not. Not at all. You must get into that machine and clean it.
Thanks for the video! Saved me a trip to the store.
I leave my lid open over night to dry out.
Today Iam doing this cleaning. Have had my washer for 15 years! Looks new still, but with time you just need a deep clean just for the washer it self.
1.Did you do a hot water cycle?
2. Did you run a large load cycle so the water filled up?
Thank You for the information!! 💖🕊💖
I just watched a hand talk for six and a half minutes about useful washing machine cleaning tips.
Sue here: lol yes!
Not sure if anyone else has told you this yet... but... that hand that's talking is NOT ACTUALLY talking... theres a whole body connected to that hand and part of that hand is a mouth and THAT is whats talking... just wanted to share with you this!
@@kuzadupa185 thank god you said this! This video almost scared me.
Hahaha this made me laugh out loud! I needed this laugh today. Thank you.
I also need to clean my washer..!
haha
White vinegar is a good alternative to petroleum fabric conditioners. Sodium bicarbonate or baking soda can be added to the laundry detergent, as can Borax. Laundry detergent is primarily these last two ingredients.
Hey I just wanted to leave some feedback, I tried this last night and it actually worked... so thank you.
Woot woot!! ❤️❤️❤️
My machine stopped draining and I had to manually empty it. Never used hot water washes coz I felt it made stains stick. Did this and it's drained on its own once so far. Am running a small load of whites in hot water now so feel positive. Thank you.
The hot water helped push the clog out by breaking it down. It has nothing to do with things smelling.
the fact that you're not trying to sell a cleaning product is the way I think you're being honest. anyone who is trying to sell something obviously has a bias. so good job on not being a MLM
Beware: Always check your manual. Vinegar is sometimes used as a fabric softener or for getting rid of stains and odors in laundry, but as with dishwashers, it can damage the rubber seals and hoses in some washing machines to the point of causing leaks.
Thanks!
Store bought vinegar is extremely diluted from it's full blown form (acetic acid). Why would vinegar cause rubber seals to break down?
@@shannonthomas8629
Yes! Already diluted to 5% then diluted like 1000 to 1 or something in the washer…. One could argue that it does nothing at all, but it’s just impossible that it could cause damage.
If acetic acid in dilute solution causes the rubber to leak acids from dirty clothes will do the same, meaning the product is garbage if true. Or it’s not an issue.
@@adog7787 Your logic suggests that all acids are the same or have the same effect on rubber. Your logic is faulty.
Ty! Exactly what I was looking for 🙌
I have a similar washing machine. Have you taken off the bottom part? That little middle disk pops off and you can clean underneath where the water drains!
Thank you, I’ll try this 👍🏽🌟
Saw a professional use citric acid powder and oxi clean. 1 cup citric acid and couple tblspoon oxi clean. He recommended 1 a month cleaning in this manner. Also said he buys the citric acid on Amazon
Andrea,you have a good energy. Subscribed!
Thanks Cherry ✨
Thank u
This guy was ready to trash the machine 😂
❤️❤️❤️
Baking soda, salt, and vinager plus a pan of boiling hot water make an AWESOME organic drain clearer. Use equal parts 1cup of all 3 start with salt, baking soda, then the vinegar, wait for it too do it's work about 2/3mins then dump the pan of hot water add a little lemon juice if you want for a clean fresh citrus smell and it also helps to clean as well.
From one mom to another!
Thanks for the tip on the washing machine. If you take a rag with a little laundry soap (very little) and water(I have a spray bottle I use) and a clean dry rag. Cleans the dry out perfectly!😁
Thanks!
I would love it if you did a video about the best cleaner to use + how to best clean the water tray of a dehumidifier. I live in the South and the drip pan of the dehumidifier gets this rust-colored layer of mildew and I suspect vinegar is the best thing to use to clean it but not sure how to get all up in the crevices of the bucket without a lot of trial and error 🙈 Thanks for all the great cleaning videos!
Thank you so much!! I have not cleaned this type before so I would not be the most knowledgeable ❤️
This washer has a clean washer cycle meant to be used with Affresh. Affresh does not smell as strong as Tide. Also the clean washer cycle in intended to be used about every 30 cycles.
I have the kind that has the big white tube in the middle. It’s kinda grimey inside. Do I still put the solution in the bin or inside that? Thanks!
Just what I was looking for. Thank you.
You are welcome!
I have a top loader washing machine. Every time I wash, my washing comes out covered in grey dirt. The drum is clean inside as I always wipe it clean after every wash. Thanks for the video I will try this tip and see what happens. ❤
Thanks for this video could it work with just cold water?
Thanks for sharing your experience
Thanks for watching!
I have the washer!!! Thanks 😊
I use vinegar as a fabric softener and I routinely add oxiclean and both baking soda and borax to my washes as this helps keep machine clean
Great tip!
Is this formula work for descaling the machine too?
Use rinse and refresh that stuff is THE ISH and i notice im cleaning my washer so much less now. Big win win
My machine is similar but it has an agitator. Is there anything in there that need to be cleaned?
How do you get in between the drum and the top part of the machine? Like at the very top if I kind of shift the drum I can sort of get to parts of it but idk if I should try a toothbrush or something? I hate cleaning the washing machine lol so much dog hair!
My washing maching is not from top but on the side. How can i pour in vinegar and baking soda because once i close the door and the water come out, i cannot open the door of machine. Thanks.
Would this work using cold water? My washer is set in the basement to just cold water and I don't know how to switch it back to hot.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Should a rinse cycle be done afterwards?
What about the underneath? Ive seen some videos showing lots of yuck underneath inside the washer
Will this un-stop the self cleaning filter in an older Whirlpool washer? If not, what will?
Just subscribed and also just bought a brand new Washer and Dryer. It's a top loading washer with the fabric softener bowl built into the top of the drum and the Wife would like to know how to keep that yucky fabric softener build up from taking over her new machine. If you pull the cup off you can see the build up down inside after using it for awhile. Thanks and I guess that baby bump is almost 2 years old now.
I'm a guy and I found this very very helpful! I have a washer from the 80s though in my condo, which has that big middle thing in the middle of the washer, would the solution clean that all up too or is it a good idea to scrub that down as well? Sorry i'm a guy, I don't know these things lmaooo
Luv the video .. ty
QUESTION ???
☆☆☆☆☆☆
How often do you wash the washing machine?
**** your right about those commercial cleaners, they are VERY STRONG 😣.
🤗 glad you washed the machine once , NOT twice, as I've got a small hot water system
How full was your water level? Full, half or a quarter?
Would this work for a dishwasher
Awesome Awesome Awesome tips
Thank you
You are so welcome!
Thank you
So I have the exact same washer and dryer as you do. :-) the odor is terrible! So it needs to be cleaned. I saw a video of someone that popped off the flat agitator at the bottom so I thought I’d try that.. I popped off that little white cap looking piece in the middle of the bottom and it was completely covered in grime. It basically looked like mud. Sooo disgusting! I’m wondering what it looks like under the agitator. I couldn’t get the bolt off so I will just clean with the vinegar and baking soda and have faith that it cleans it, but I’d be curious to see if underneath your cap is still dirty after the vinegar rinse.
I have the exact same washer and I got the exact same smells
Choose clean washer with affresh if you can so you can let the washer clean itself.
What about for detergent residue in my clothes, should I add the vinegar at the beginning of the wash or add it into the fabric softener hole?...
Downy makes a rinse aid for this now but you can add vinegar to the fabric softener dispenser too 👍
you must of read my mind. i was going to ask you about this. esp cleaning around the inside of the top ring part. we have a front load washer &the rubber gasket ring gets so moldy & hard to clean. dog hair &fuss gets trapped under it.i need to get some baking soda.
Thank you Diana ✨ that gunk sure builds up fast!
Do yourself a favor and get rid if your front loader. No amount if baking soda can get rid if that mold on the ring. They’re just badly made. I had one, and I got rid if it and bought an LG top loader. No moldy ring!
My washer locks for the cycle and use lot less water
We tried the Tide cleaner and the smell was so overpowering! I'll never do that again. I'm using vinegar and baking soda the next time. Thanks for the video!
Yea tide washing machine smells terrible, I use oxiclean washing machine cleaner
Just wondering is it a perfume smell or like a chemical smell?
@@jillyp6202 It was a really strong perfume type smell
Andrea, the soap and fabric softener dispenser tray on my machine needs some serious cleaning. Have you ever made a video showing how to accomplish this?
You can remove the dispenser and wash it.. Hope this helps
Take it out and wash it by hand. SMH.
Doesn’t baking soda react with vinegar to make water? So in essence, you are just pouring water into the machine?
I have an HE top-loading washer like you do. I noticed we both have a "Clean Washer" setting. Ever use that setting vs the Normal setting you used in this video?
I have not..
@@AndreaJean -- Well, I guess I'll have to try it one day and see what happens. 😁
It’s a Maytag
That is the setting you use to clean your washer…it’s not to have clothes in it at this time.
Did you try it? I have the clean washer too and I bought affresh so I’ll be trying that soon
Don’t mind the baby bump?
Baby Bumps are Beautiful!
Did you let it sit for 1 hours or no
I have a GE top loader that braids my clothes, sheets tighter than a French braid. It doesn’t matter how I arrange them. Can you help?
Me too! I thought it was because I really fill the washer up with clothes. They get twisted around the middle thing, it's like a puzzle trying remove all the entangled clothes. Uggh
Thank you 😊
2 cups of citric acid and a tablespoon of oxyclean works best for original cleaning, then reduce to 1/2 that dose for monthly cleaning works a lot better and 1/8 the price of specific cleaning pods available and bettet than this version.
Bowl cleaner ftw
We use Dr. Beckman cleaner to clean our washer machine!
Did you use the low, medium or high water selection to clean your washing machine?
drop 250 ml of pure vinegar essence in tha washer. hottest water you can get and a normal cycle. and its done
can I use this same method for my Dishwasher?
I always use a cottage cheese container and fill it up with vinegar and put it on the top rack. It tips over during the dishwasher cycle and you have a clean machine.
Have you ever used hydrogen peroxide or Apple cider vinegar to disenfect the inside of your washer? I run my washer on deep wash and I use one of the above. We were told by a washer repair person to use ACV as it also kills off bacteria and mold.
White vinegar is best.
You do not need not water, although I do clean mine once a month, using cold water
I used colorox and vinegar and I put on hot water and let it wash. My washing machine is so clean
❤️❤️❤️
cool washer
Thanks!
Is it ok to use this solution as a cleaning solution ready in a spray bottle?
Yes ❤️❤️❤️
It bubbles up big time…so be careful
I have a GE washer
Do you fill water to the top for load once you have done the hand cleaning part?
Yes!
@@AndreaJean Thanks!
GOOD INFO BUT TO CLEAN THE INSIDE BETTER DO THIS: ON THE BACK OF THE MACHINE ARE 4 SCREWS ON EACH SIDE. ROMOVE THE TOP TWO SCREWS ON EACH SIDE., THEN GO TO THE FRONT OF THE MACHINE AND OPEN THE TOP COVER AND PLACE YOUR HAND ON THE METAL FRONT THAT THE LID REST ON. PULL SLIGHTLY AND THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO CLEAN THE INSIDE AREA BETTER
Nossa máquina trabalha muito mas precisa de ajuda para ser limpa também 😂😄😜😙👍✌
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing good information.
I notice you didn’t clean your detergent dispenser. Would you clean the dispenser the same way?
I remove my dispenser and wash it
My washer will leave white gunk on (especially black) clothes after a load. Is there a filter or something I need to empty out? Can anyone help me please???
I was told perhaps too much soap could be the issue here so changed to pods. Just have to get the measurements right
I wish they have English subtitles since I am deaf. So I would love to learn how to clean. I’m struggle with clean washing machine.
Hot hot water and 1/2 cup of baking soda and 2 cups of vinegar plus a little more.
What temperature for the water
I use hot water 👍
me watching this while im pregnant too 🤣
Let top load washer fill with hot water and leave lid open. AS YOU POUR IN a 1 pound bag of citric acid stir in acid then let sit for 2 hours. Shut lid and let it run a full cycle. THIS IS WAY BETTER than the vinegar. Vinegar is a slight acid BUT citric acid cleans AND KILLS mold on contact.
How often would you recommend doing this cleaning, 4-6 months?
Yes!
What cycle do u run it on ?
I was just asking the same thing!
What was the amount of vinegar & baking soda you used?
So I did this and now mold won’t stop coming out?!? How many times do I need to run my wash till it’s not going to leave mold flakes at the bottom so it won’t get in my clothes
As many times until it’s gone 👍
@@AndreaJean thank you so much.
Seen a lot of your excellent video's which are all very useful but: My problem is rough and crispy towels. I have looked at a lot of stuff but none works for me. Front loader, no dryer no heavy stained washing. Any ideas please?
Try washing them with 1 cup vinegar every now and again.... this will help remove any soapy residue on the towels that can build up and make them rough 👍 thanks for the video idea too Vera ❤️
You might need a water softener installed in your house. Do you tend to get a lot of calcium-like build up around where the water comes out of your faucets and the shower head?
We wash with detergent
Im a dad so just so u no ur helping some cleaning men too lol!!😂😂 thanks so much for the tips just subscribed
