If you prefer the DIY route or don't have a Universal Cleaner handy, here's the complete step-by-step process to clean washing machine drum effectively at home.
Step-by-Step Guide
Run Empty Hot Cycle
Set your machine to the hottest temperature and longest cycle. Run it empty to loosen buildup.
Add Cleaning Agents
Pause the cycle once filled. Add 2 cups white vinegar directly to the drum. Resume the cycle.
Pause Mid-Cycle
Once agitation starts, pause for 30 minutes. This lets the vinegar soak into deposits.
Complete the Cycle
Resume and complete the full wash cycle. The agitation helps scrub the drum interior.
Run Baking Soda Cycle
Add 1/2 cup baking soda to the drum. Run another hot cycle to neutralize and deodorize.
Wipe the Drum
After the final cycle, wipe inside the drum with a clean dry cloth. Check for any remaining residue.
Pro Tips
- Most modern machines have a drum clean cycle - use it monthly
- Remove wet clothes promptly to prevent mildew in the drum
- Leave the door ajar between uses to air out the drum
