... in the washing machine. Every three months, I take the time to clean my washing machine. While most people are baffled that I would clean something that seems to clean itself, let me share some photographic evidence about why your washing machine needs a little lovin' every once in a while.

It doesn't take much to get this soap scum removed, but let me share the full process of getting a sparkly clean washing machine!
1. Run the hottest cycle until your washer is full and then add 1 quart of bleach. Close the lid and let the machine agitate for about a minute. Open the lid and leave the machine set for an hour, then let the cycle finish.
2. Repeat step 1 using one quart of vinegar. Except..
3. While the vinegar/water is sitting, use a toothbrush, scrubber, or your preferred scrubbing tool. I used a toothbrush to scrub off all of that junk while using a vinegar/water solution on the entire washer/dryer unit as well.
Hopefully my roommates will be so excited the washing machine is clean that they won't be upset I shared our "dirtiness" with the world!
Happy cleaning,
Ashley
