Fresh Laundry Starts with a Clean Washer

There’s nothing like the scent of clean clothes fresh from the dryer—but to get the best results, your washing machine needs regular care. A clean machine not only keeps your laundry smelling great, it also runs more efficiently, saving you money in the long run.

If you have a front-loading washer, be sure to wipe down the rubber seal regularly to prevent mold and mildew buildup. Most machines also come with a dedicated cleaning cycle—run it once a month or as recommended by the manufacturer to keep the interior fresh. Top-loaders often include this feature too, helping extend the life of the machine and improve performance.

Once your washer is clean and running smoothly, all that’s left is to toss in your laundry, add your favorite detergent or softener, and enjoy the fresh scent every time.
