Run a hot wash cycle.
🔹 For Regular Maintenance:
- Add 1/2 cup of vinegar to every few loads to prevent odors and buildup.
🌸 Bonus: Add Baking Soda for Extra Power
If your laundry is really smelly or you’ve been dealing with mildew, add 1/2 cup of baking soda directly to the drum with the vinegar. The fizzing reaction boosts the cleaning power!
🚫 What Not to Do
- Don’t mix vinegar and bleach—they create toxic fumes.
- Avoid overusing fabric softeners, which can trap odors over time.
🧺 Final Tips for Odor-Free Laundry
- Always remove clothes promptly after the wash cycle.
- Leave your washer door open to dry out between uses.
- Wash towels and gym clothes separately and regularly.
- Use vinegar once a month to clean your washing machine and keep it fresh too!
