In this article, we are going to discuss five important reasons why you should give your front load washer a regular clean. Then, we’ll provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to clean it.

Why It’s Important To Clean Your Front-Load Washer
Mold will build up.
When you don’t clean your front loader washer, bacteria will build up in your washer drum and in the door gasket/seal, which eventually turns into mold. When this happens, the mold will come into contact with your laundry and can make it come out of a wash cycle unclean and covered in mold stains. To stop this from happening, it’s important to give your washer a regular clean.

Your laundry will smell.
When your front load washer doesn’t get regularly cleaned, your laundry is likely to come out smelling bad due to the mold, grime, and other debris that build up in your washer drum. To stop this from happening, it’s important to clean all of the grime and mold out of your washer regularly. Luckily, it’s very easy to clean a washing machine.

Save energy costs.
If your washing machine is dirty, you may end up having to use a higher or longer wash cycle to get your clothes and other laundry items clean, which can make your energy bill higher each month. This is also true if you have to wash your laundry a second time because it comes out smelling bad or covered in mold stains.

Your laundry won’t be clean.
Dirty washing machines produce dirty laundry. Even if your laundry doesn’t come out covered in obvious stains or with a strong bad odor, it will be covered in unseen bacteria which can cause health problems for you and your family. To stop this from occurring, you need to use a strong disinfectant to clean your front load washer out regularly.

It will last longer.
Cleaning your front load washer out regularly will ensure it lasts much longer so you won’t need to pay for a replacement. When laundry detergent gets clogged up in the detergent unit and grime and mold build up in your washer, it will make components within the appliance break down that will then need to be repaired or replaced. However, if you give it a good clean every few months, you’ll avoid any problems developing.
