With this method, you can clean your washing machine in minutes and your laundry will smell great! Everyone is wrong!

#### What You’ll Need:
– **White vinegar**
– **Baking soda**
– **A microfiber cloth or sponge**
– Optional: a few drops of essential oil (like lemon or tea tree for extra freshness)

#### Here’s How:
1. **Start with the Drum**:
Pour **2 cups of white vinegar** directly into the drum. Run the machine on the **hottest and longest cycle** with **no clothes inside**.

2. **Midway Magic (Optional but Amazing)**:
Once the cycle fills with water and starts agitating, **pause it for 1 hour**. This lets the vinegar soak in and break down gunk.

3. **Add Baking Soda**:
After the vinegar cycle finishes, sprinkle **½ cup of baking soda** directly into the drum and run another hot cycle. This helps deodorize and scrub away lingering residue.

4. **Clean the Door & Seals**:
Wipe down the inside of the door, especially around the rubber gasket. Use a 1:1 mix of vinegar and water on a cloth to get into the nooks and crannies.

5. **Leave the Door Open**:
When you’re done, keep the door open to let everything air dry. Moisture = mildew, so give your washer some breathing room.
