Learn how to clean a washing machine, including front-loading and top-loading machines, to get your laundry as clean as possible.
Your washing machine’s main job is to clean your clothes, but did you know you should clean your washing machine at least once a month? With just a few supplies you can easily clean your washing machine to keep it looking and smelling like new.
The dirt that disappears from your clothes, towels, and sheets has to go somewhere, which means grime can build up inside your washing machine over time. Without regular cleaning, the appliance might also harbour leftover detergent, hard-water deposits, and mould or mildew around the lid. This can leave a residue on laundry or cause items to emerge from the wash with a funky smell. To ensure your freshly washed clothes and linens are as clean as possible, follow these steps on how to clean a washing machine once a month. These instructions work for cleaning front-loading and top-loading washing machines, but there are a few special considerations for both types.
If your washing machine has a self-clean function, choose that cycle and follow the manufacturer's instructions to clean the inside of the machine. Otherwise, you can use this simple, three-step process to eliminate build-up in washing machine hoses and pipes and ensure your clothes stay fresh and clean.
Step 1: Run a Hot Cycle with Vinegar
Run an empty, regular cycle on hot, using two cups of white vinegar instead of detergent. Add the vinegar to the detergent dispenser. (Don't worry about harming your machine, as white vinegar will not damage clothes.) The hot water-vinegar combo removes and prevents bacteria growth. Vinegar can also act as a deodorizer and cut through mildew odours.
Step 2: Scrub the Inside and Outside of the Washing Machine
In a bucket or nearby sink, mix about 1/4 cup vinegar with a quart of warm water. Use this mixture, plus a sponge and dedicated toothbrush, to clean the inside of the machine. Pay special attention to dispensers for fabric softener or soap, the inside of the door, and around the door opening. If your soap dispenser is removable, soak it in the vinegar water before scrubbing. Give the machine's exterior a wipe down, too.
Step 3: Run a Second Hot Cycle
Run one more empty, regular cycle on hot, without detergent or vinegar. If desired, add 1/2 cup baking soda to the drum to help clear away build-up loosened from the first cycle. After the cycle is complete, wipe out the inside of the drum with a microfiber cloth to remove any remaining residue.

Choosing to get a market appraisal on your home may not always coincide with wanting to sell your home. Some homeowners will choose to gain an appraisal where they are looking to refinance, they may have made improvements around the property and are gaining an updated price comparison, or they might also be choosing to purchase an investment property.
Gaining a market appraisal might also be due to market fluctuations where an owner would like to see where their home sits in relation to the current local market.
To obtain a property appraisal, contact a local real estate sales agent. You may also be referred to an agent or you might like to choose a few agents to look through your home who will give you a range of estimates on the property and provide you with more options on who you might like to sell your home.
A sales agent will walk through your home and assess the condition, size and inclusions of the home. They will note key factors like the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and parking spaces as well as additional features that may be included and any improvements that have been completed which have the potential to add to the value of your home.
Once they have completed their inspection and discussed options for your home with you, they will do research and look at current and recent sales of similar properties in your location and the price for which they sold. A sales agent will also consider the location of your home and its proximity to local amenities, shopping and lifestyle facilities and school precincts and factor this into their appraisal price.
When the agent has gathered the information on your property and other comparable property sales in your area, they will put together a report including an opinion of what they believe your home could be valued at, usually known as a price guide and this would be a guide that would go to market, should you choose to sell or use it for the purposes of refinancing or your own knowledge.

The Bayview. Turns out, they go way back.
“Both of us were in Whangamata when we were younger.” Raewyn tells us. “We didn’t know we were there together. It’s so lovely to have found out now. We do enjoy each other’s company and I would do anything for her.”
She goes on to explain how they fill the day together. “Morning coffee and exercise, a social drink with our barman, or sausage sizzles on a Friday. Sometimes we gather around the piano for a singsong.”
Christine nods along smiling as she reflects on the great location of The Bayview. “It’s only four minutes to town and my son’s house and there’s three supermarkets – it’s really convenient.” Raewyn adds, “Plus it’s so quiet you wouldn’t believe you’re in the middle of the city.”
Brand new apartments are available now. Call Trudi today, on 0800 333 688 to book a visit and see what all the fuss is about.
