Cleaning Your Washing Machine

Just because it’s a washing machine doesn’t mean that it’s clean.

Washing machines collect a lot of dirt and soil during the laundry load. Most debris is washed away with the water in each load, but over time a buildup of dirt can occur. That’s where Clorox® Washing Machine Cleaner comes in handy.

  • For HE Washers with a “Maintenance Cycle” or “Clean Out Cycle”:
    1
    Select the “Maintenance Cycle” or “Clean Out Cycle”
    2
    Fill the machine bleach dispenser to the maximum level with Clorox® Washing Machine Cleaner.
    3
    Allow the washer to run a complete cycle on hot water to freshen the machine.
    For standard machines or HE machines without a designated cycle:
    1
    Select the “Hot” water setting on your machine.
    2
    Select the “Extra Rinse” option, if available.
    3
    Add Clorox® Washing Machine Cleaner to the bleach dispenser. Fill to the maximum level.
    4
    Run the cycle through its completion.
