The Simple Habit That Keeps Your Laundry Fresh

Cleaning your washer filter is quick, easy, and can transform your laundry routine. Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

1. Turn off and unplug the machine for safety.

2. Find the filter:

   • For front-loaders: check the small panel at the bottom front.

   • For top-loaders: look inside the drum or along the rim.

3. Place a towel underneath to catch any leftover water.

4. Remove and rinse the filter under warm running water.

5. Use a toothbrush or soft brush to scrub away stubborn buildup.

6. Wipe the filter housing clean.

7. Reinsert the filter and close the panel securely.

That’s it — your washer will perform noticeably better right away.

Bonus Tip: Give Your Washer a Natural Refresh

Once a month, run an empty cycle with one cup of white vinegar. It breaks down detergent residue, neutralizes odors, and kills bacteria — like a deep-cleaning spa day for your machine.

Keep Your Washer (and Clothes) Happy

A few minutes of care each month ensures cleaner clothes, fewer repairs, and a longer-lasting washer. Small habits make the biggest difference — and this one keeps your laundry fresh, soft, and truly clean, load after load.
