How to Keep your Washer Smelling Fresh

We rarely think about a dirty washing machine. We think, quite naturally, that since it is a washing machine that it would remain clean. But washing machines can actually house viruses and bacteria.

So, while many of us think of our washing machines as self-cleaning, that’s far from the case. One study published in 2007 in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology even found that running a typical wash and rinse with detergent was not enough to remove a number of infectious viruses. The key ingredient they found that was needed to do so? Bleach. To clean things for good, run your machine on the sanitize setting with a combination of hot water and a quart of bleach. So long, funky-smelling clothes!

I hope this tip has been helpful.
