Every three months, give your washing machine a deep clean.&nbsp;Some washers have a dedicated cleaning cycle; I still thoroughly&nbsp;clean them with 1\/2 cup of liquid chlorine bleach&nbsp;added to the dispenser and running a regular hot water cycle. You can use cleaners like&nbsp;Affresh&nbsp;or&nbsp;Tide Washing Machine Cleaner. Front loaders must be wiped, including the rubber seal on the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to washing machines, dryers require routine maintenance. Regularly clean the lint trap before and after every load. Also,&nbsp;<strong>once a month, clean the assembly around the lint filter.<\/strong>&nbsp;First, pull out any lint you can grab, and then use a vacuum and a&nbsp;dryer airway brush&nbsp;to remove the loose debris.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thelintking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lady-doing-laundry-the-lint-king-dryer-vent-cleaning.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/thelintking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lady-doing-laundry-the-lint-king-dryer-vent-cleaning-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Dryer Drum Odors\" class=\"wp-image-1087\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelintking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lady-doing-laundry-the-lint-king-dryer-vent-cleaning-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelintking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lady-doing-laundry-the-lint-king-dryer-vent-cleaning-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelintking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lady-doing-laundry-the-lint-king-dryer-vent-cleaning-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelintking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lady-doing-laundry-the-lint-king-dryer-vent-cleaning.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The clothes Dryer Drum Needs to be Cleaned Often<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It would also be great if you <strong><em>vacuumed behind and under the machine at least once a year<\/em><\/strong>.
