Washer and dryer cleaning tips

Your washer and dryer's drum, dispensers, and hoses may accumulate dirt, lint, and detergent over time. Hence, cleaning may significantly improve the hygiene and cleanliness of your laundry while also extending the life and performance of your machines.

Disinfect the drum

Use a moist cloth to clean the washer and dryer's drum to get rid of any dirt or debris; any difficult-to-reach spots can be cleaned with a tiny brush. Then apply disinfectant.

Ensure the door seal is clean

To get rid of any mould or mildew, clean the door seal on your washer and dryer. Scrub the seal with a soft brush or cloth and a light detergent.

Sanitise the dispensers

It is easy for detergent scum to accumulate if the dispenser is not regularly cleaned. Your washer and dryer's dispensers should be cleaned to get rid of any accumulation of detergent or fabric softener. To clean the dispensers, use a small brush or toothbrush and a light detergent.

Keep the outside tidy

Use a moist cloth to clean the exterior of your washer and dryer. Any difficult-to-reach spots can be cleaned with a brush.

Clean the vent and lint trap

Remove any lint gathered in the trap by using a little brush or a vacuum. Then also clean the dryer's exhaust to get rid of lint or dirt. Any lint that may have accumulated in the vent can be taken out using a tiny brush or a vacuum.

It is recommended that the washer and dryer be deep-cleaned at least once every 1- 3 months but frequency should depend on how often you use the appliances. For specific cleaning instructions for your washer and dryer, always consult the manufacturer's instructions.
