The Simple Step That Keeps Your Washing Machine Fresh
You toss in your laundry, add detergent, and hit start — but inside your washing machine, something unseen is building up. Over time, lint, hair, and detergent residue collect in the filter, a small part that quietly traps everything your clothes leave behind.
Ignore it, and your washer can start smelling musty, leave stains, or even break down. A clogged filter blocks water flow, causing detergent buildup and dampness — perfect conditions for bacteria and mildew.
The good news? Fixing it takes less than ten minutes a month. Just unplug your machine, find the filter (usually near the bottom front or inside the drum), remove it, rinse under warm water, and brush off any residue. A quick clean keeps your clothes fresher, your washer running smoothly, and your repair bills low.
