Household Recipes - Washing Machine Cleaning

To clean and freshen the interior of the front-leading washer:

1. Make a solution of one cup bleach and two cups warm water.  Be careful not to spill or spash the bleach solution.
2. Wipe the door seal with bleach solution and soft cloth.
3. Fill bleach dispenser with chlorine bleach.
4. Run the washer through a complete cycle using hot water.
5. Repeat the wash cycle if necessary.

My washing machine manufacturer recommends doing this process every 60 to 120 days.
