A TikTok creator, who goes by the name Sparklenshinewithsammie on the social media platform, shared her tips to clean accumulated mould off a washing machine.<\/p>\n

The simple, three-step process, which only requires vinegar and cotton wool, ensures even the most stubborn mould disappears.<\/p>\n

First, you will need some distilled vinegar and cotton wool to wipe down the machine and remove the excess.<\/p>\n

Next, soak the cotton wool in the vinegar and put it all around the rubber to let it permeate for two hours and then wipe again.<\/p>\n

Set your washer to the hottest, longest setting on your washing machine and let it run empty.<\/p>\n

The cooler weather is the prime time for mould infestations in washing machines and other household appliances.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, experts from Beko, the UK\u2019s number one best-selling home appliance brand, have shared how to thoroughly clean washing machines to prevent mould and prolong the lifespan of the appliance.<\/p>\n

The experts said: “To keep your machine\u2019s rubber seals free from mould and mildew, use a damp cloth and soapy water.<\/p>\n

“Carefully wipe around the rubber seals, making sure you do not lift the seals away from the metal. If any dirt remains, use a toothbrush to scrub the surface.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some washing machines have self-cleaning functions which can help remove both bacteria and mould build-up.<\/p>\n

To allow air to circulate into the washing machine drum, leave the door open. When the door is closed, bacteria can fester in the damp.<\/p>\n

Homeowners also need to ensure the filter on the washing machine is cleaned on a regular basis. The experts continued: “We suggest once every three months, or whenever it becomes clogged.<\/p>\n

“The filter, located on the bottom right-hand side of your machine, protects the drain pump from potential damage from foreign objects during the discharging of water, like coins or buttons.”<\/p>\n
