How to easily clean a Washing Machine: step by step
Updated 5 May 2026 · 3 mins readWhy cleaning your Washer matters
Prevents unpleasant odours and bacteria
Bacteria, mould and mildew love warm, moist environments like detergent drawers and rubber door seals. Cleaning these areas helps stop odours from transferring onto your clothes.
Boosts performance and longevity
Build-up of soap scum, mineral deposits and lint can strain your machine's components. Regular cleaning helps your washer run efficiently and reduces the chance of breakdowns.
Keeps clothes fresh
Even with the best detergents, a dirty washer can leave laundry smelling musty. A clean machine means every load smells and feels truly clean.
