To maintain your washing machine's optimal condition, it is advised to clean it every 1-3 months. The cleaning frequency depends on your usage and water hardness. Regular maintenance can help prevent mold, mildew, and odors. You can clean the drum, detergent dispenser, and rubber gasket using a blend of white vinegar and baking soda or a specialized washing machine cleaner. Execute a cleaning cycle with hot water and the cleaning solution to eliminate any residue and ensure your machine operates efficiently.

To keep your washing machine in tip-top condition, clean it once a month by running an empty cycle with hot water and a cleaning agent like vinegar or baking soda.
