A good rule of thumb is:
- Once a month for households that do frequent laundry
- Every 2–3 months for lighter use
Leaving the door or lid open after washes can also help moisture evaporate, reducing odor-causing buildup.
The Result
With occasional maintenance, your washer can stay fresh and work more efficiently. Clean machines help clothes come out smelling cleaner and feeling fresher.
A little routine care goes a long way in keeping both your washer and your laundry in top shape.
