Item Description
Your washing machine is a breeding ground for all sorts of smells and soap scum. Front-loading washers can get especially bad (as you know, if you’ve ever opened it to start a batch and been repelled by the smell). But don’t worry; there are many preventative steps you can take so you can feel like your clothes are clean and fresh every time you do laundry.
To combat those smells, leave the lid open after every wash cycle. Another simple change: use the amount of detergent recommended for your machine. Sometimes when we use too much, we think we’re getting our clothes extra-clean. In reality, it only leaves behind more soap scum.
Once a week after you’ve finished a batch of laundry, use this recipe with Tea Tree and Grapefruit essential oils to help cleanse and refresh your machine.
