- When we think of a washing machine, the first thing that comes to mind is that it is always filled with soap and water, but the truth is not that simple. Over time, residue from detergent, fabric softener, and dirty clothes will gradually accumulate in the washing machine. Not only will these dirty accumulations cause odors inside the washing machine, but worse, they may also get on your clothes, affecting your wearing experience. Therefore, cleaning the washing machine becomes particularly important.How to clean front-loading and top-loading washing machinesWhether you have a front-loading or top-loading washing machine at home, the steps for cleaning are roughly the same. We just need to use some common household items: vinegar and baking soda. These two natural cleaners are not only safe and cheap, but also effective in removing dirt from the inside of the washing machine.Detailed explanation of the cleaning process1. White vinegar initial wash: First, set the washing machine to the hottest, longest, and largest load settings. Then, add four cups of white vinegar to the drum and start the wash cycle. White vinegar has a strong decomposition ability and can effectively remove mold, hard water, and soap deposits from the inside of the washing machine.2. Wipe and Clean: Once the wash cycle is complete, let the washer cool down a bit before opening the door. Next, wipe the drum, door, and gasket with a microfiber cloth soaked in vinegar. For those hard-to-reach areas, use an old toothbrush for a deep clean.3. Baking Soda Deep Clean: Sprinkle a cup of baking soda into the drum and run another hot water cycle. Baking soda will remove any stubborn stains and odors, leaving your washing machine fresh and clean.4. Dry and Condition: Finally, once the wash cycle is complete, wipe the inside of the drum again with a dry cloth to make sure there is no residue. Then, leave the door open and let the inside air dry.Maintain Your Washing Machine RegularlyWhile deep cleaning isn’t necessary every week, it’s recommended to do it at least once a month. There are also some everyday steps you can take to keep your washing machine in top shape. For example, empty the washing machine as soon as possible after a wash cycle to prevent mold and mildew, and leave the door open between wash cycles to keep the inside of the washing machine dry.While it may not be the most glamorous household task, cleaning your washing machine is essential to keeping your clothes clean and extending the life of your washing machine. By cleaning and maintaining your washing machine regularly, you can ensure you get the best results with every wash and extend the life of your washing machine. So give your washing machine some Tender Love!

- How to clean your house for pet-raising families!

- Hey, pet parents! Do you feel like your home is full of fur, paw prints, and scattered chew toys, like a small zoo? Haha, don't worry, today I'm here to give you some tips on how to keep your home clean and organized while enjoying the fun time with your pet.Fur FactorFirst, let's talk about the fur problem. Do you have a "hair-shedding monster" at home? Every time you see the hair on the sofa, carpet, or even in the food, you feel upset, right? Don't worry, there is a magic tool called "comb". Combing your pet's hair every day will greatly reduce the hair floating in the air! As for the fur that has fallen on the furniture, a hair roller or rubber gloves can easily deal with it.Annoying paw printsLet's talk about the paw print problem. When pets run in from outside, their little paws are dirty and it's easy to make a mess at home. What to do? Put a towel at the door and train them to wipe their paws when they enter the door, so that the house can be kept clean! Of course, this takes a little time and patience to train them.Chew Toy MessNext up is the mess of chew toys. Your pets are having fun, but your home is a mess. Don’t rush, buy them a special basket or box to store their toys! This will not only keep your home tidy, but also make it easier for your pets to find their favorite toys.Accidents HappenOf course, pets will occasionally cause little accidents, such as staining the carpet or knocking things over. This is when you need to clean up quickly, otherwise it will become more and more difficult to deal with. For stains on carpets, you can use a pet-specific cleaner; for stains on hard surfaces, a mixture of vinegar and water can easily get rid of them.Pet ProofingFinally, there is pet proofing! Think of it like a guardrail for babies, but this time it is prepared for pets. Cover furniture with covers to prevent scratches from hair and claws; keep fragile items out of reach of pets; and don’t forget to keep cleaning products out of reach and smell of pets to prevent them from accidentally ingesting or touching them out of curiosity.OK, OK! Having said all that, in fact, as long as everyone pays a little attention, you can live in harmony with your pets at home! Using these strategies will not only keep your home clean and tidy, but also make your pets happier and more comfortable! Come on, pet parents! I wish you and your pets a happy and joyful life every day!
