Maintaining a clean washing machine is essential for keeping your laundry fresh and free of bacteria. However, the buildup of detergent residue, hard water minerals, and other debris can make your LG washing machine less effective and even cause it to break down. One of the most important parts of washing machine maintenance is cleaning the tub. Here are the steps on how to tub clean washing machine LG:
Before you begin cleaning the tub of your LG washing machine, it is important to gather the necessary supplies. You will need a tub cleaning tablet or powder, a clean cloth or sponge, and a bucket of warm water. Once you have gathered your supplies, you can begin the cleaning process. Add the tub cleaning tablet or powder to the washing machine drum and then fill the machine with hot water. Allow the machine to run through a complete cycle.
After the cycle is complete, open the door of the washing machine and allow the tub to cool. Once the tub is cool, wipe down the inside of the tub with a clean cloth or sponge. Be sure to get into all of the nooks and crannies. Rinse the tub with clean water and then wipe it dry with a clean cloth. Your LG washing machine tub is now clean and ready to use.
Wiping Down the Interior Surfaces
Now that the tub is empty, it’s time to wipe down the interior surfaces to remove any remaining dirt or debris. For this task, you’ll need a clean cloth and a mild detergent solution. Here’s how to do it:
- Dampen the cloth with the detergent solution.
- Wipe down the entire interior of the tub, including the lid, agitator (if applicable), and drum. Be sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
- Rinse the cloth thoroughly with clean water and wring out any excess moisture.
- Wipe down the interior again with the rinsed cloth to remove any remaining detergent residue.
- Open the lid and allow the tub to air dry for several hours.
- Once the tub is completely dry, close the lid and run a hot water cycle to ensure that all detergent residue is removed.
Disinfecting the Interior Surfaces (Optional)
If you want to disinfect the interior surfaces of your washing machine, you can use a bleach solution. To do this, mix 1 cup of bleach with 1 gallon of water and pour it into the tub. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then drain the tub and rinse it thoroughly with clean water. Finally, run a hot water cycle to remove any remaining bleach residue.
| Detergent Type | Bleach Solution |
|---|---|
| Mild Detergent | 1 cup bleach per 1 gallon water |
| Harsh Detergent | 1/2 cup bleach per 1 gallon water |
