A brilliant tip for cleaning the drawer of your washing machine: it will be as good as new and mold-free again!

How to Clean Your Washing Machine Drawer

What You’ll Need:

✔ Warm water
✔ White vinegar or baking soda
✔ An old toothbrush or small cleaning brush
✔ A microfiber cloth
✔ Dish soap

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process:

1. Remove the Drawer
   • Pull out the detergent drawer as far as it will go. Most machines have a small release clip in the middle—press it to remove the drawer completely.
2. Soak in Warm Water & Vinegar
   • Fill a basin or sink with warm water and add one cup of white vinegar. Let the drawer soak for about 30 minutes to loosen grime and mold.
3. Scrub Away Residue
   • Use an old toothbrush or small brush to scrub inside the compartments, focusing on moldy spots and detergent buildup. A bit of dish soap can help break down grease and residue.
4. Clean the Drawer Slot
   • While the drawer is soaking, wipe the inside of the washing machine where the drawer sits. Use a damp microfiber cloth with vinegar or baking soda to remove any hidden mold or buildup.
5. Rinse & Dry Thoroughly
   • Rinse the drawer under running water and dry it completely before reinserting it into the machine. Leaving it slightly open after each wash can help prevent future mold growth.

Bonus Tip for Preventing Future Buildup

✔ Use liquid detergent or pre-dissolve powdered detergent to avoid excess residue.
✔ Leave the detergent drawer slightly open after washing to allow airflow and prevent mold.
✔ Clean the drawer at least once a month to maintain a fresh-smelling machine.

By following this simple trick, your washing machine drawer will stay mold-free, odorless, and looking brand new—ensuring cleaner clothes and a healthier home!
