| Keeping Your Washer Tub Smelling Fresh
Chemical build-up from detergent and fabric softener can often leave an unpleasant odor. We recommend the following tips for maintaining a clean and odor-free tub.
Front Load Machine
- Clean the lower rubber gasket with a nonabrasive scrubbing agent. We suggest 409 or Fantastik.
- Fill the bleach compartment with liquid Chlorine bleach and add a scoop of detergent to the water. Select hot water and regular cycle/heavy. Allow cycle to complete for the freshening process.
Top Load Machine
- We recommend that you run a cycle of hot water with one cup of bleach once a week. You may do this with or without clothing in the cycle.
- For stubborn chemical cleaning, run a cycle of hot water with one quart of white vinegar once a month. Do NOT add clothing to this cycle.
- During hot weather and high humidity, keep the lid open when the machine is not in use.
