Remove mildew from clothes

Vinegar also works wonders on laundry, too! If you’ve got towels (or swim clothes) that smell like mildew, place 1 cup of vinegar in the wash and do a cycle with HOT water. If they’re really bad, they may need 2 cycles. Then place them in the dryer on a high heat setting with a dryer sheet and that will leave them smelling nice and clean!

More tips for keeping your washer clean

Now how do you keep it clean longer? Make sure to:

Leave the door open after you run a cycle for at least an hour. This will allow the water to evaporate and not let water get trapped in there.
Clean the detergent tray so that there’s no buildup or grime on it. You can also leave the tray halfway open so it has time to dry out.
Run a baking soda cycle after the vinegar cycle. Set on the longest setting, fill with HOT water and then add 1/2 cup baking soda. Then let run it’s full cycle.
