Add one quart of chlorine bleach - no detergent.

One quart distilled white vinegar


Cleaning a standard top-loading washer is really simple. For a top load washer, fill the drum with the hottest water temperature on your machine. Add one quart of chlorine bleach - no detergent. Allow the washer to run through its longest wash and spin cycle. Immediately fill the washer with hot water again and add one quart distilled white vinegar. Run the longest wash and spin cycle again. You're done and the washer is freshly clean. Do not add both the bleach and vinegar in the same cycle because toxic fumes could form. Plus the vinegar rinse ensures that there are no bleach droplets remaining that could damage the next load of laundry you put in the washer.

Using the bleach and vinegar in the hot water cycle washes will clean away bacteria, soap scum and mineral deposits from the washer drum and hoses. This is especially important if you live in a hard water area and should be done every three months. Every top load washer should be cleaned at least twice per year.
