Cleaning your washing machine helps get your clothes cleaner, as well as keeps the machine running efficiently. Cleaning your dryer gets you a hotter, more efficient dry and also helps prevent dryer fires (this is a good thing).

My little granddaughter asked me why you keep putting a glass.bowl IN the washer. LOL. I told her you just dumped the baking soda in the machine. She said you need to make that clear. Thanks for the tips.
ROSLYN JONES i was thinking the same thing!!
Well.. I think most people know not to put glass bowl in the washing machine... Just saying.. (😁 please tell me no one actually put Dishes inside the washer. Dishes dont go in the washing machine.
😂
i dont understand this part.is she just putting the bowl there without turning on the washing machine?
Your granddaughter is smart.
The much anticipated video showing how to clean your washing machine and dryer!
Hey Melissa! I love your videos, of course! They are so wonderfully helpful and entertaining. Is there anyway you could let me know what editing software you use? What computer do you have? I'm a TH-camr also and just looking for the best upgrade. Do you keep all your footage somewhere or delete it as you make videos? If you read this, thank you for your time!

Thanks for watching!
Hi Melissa! Thanks for the video. I've been watching this whole series to get me motivated to finally finish my Spring Cleaning. :) As for the Laundry Series, I think it would be a great idea to go over what items should be hung to dry versus dried in the dryer. My mum in law always has clothes hanging up in her kitchen on laundry days because she cant dry them. She tried to explain it to me, however it was way over my head!
Can you do these same tips on high efficiency washers and dryers?
Blaire K They were on high efficiency washers & dryers!
Never in a million years I thought I'd ever say it, but I'm really looking forward to your laundry series :)
You're the best! I've been watching your videos for years and keep coming back any time I need to know how to clean something! I also love that you use natural products and that we don't have to go out and buy a bunch of different cleaning supplies. Keeping it simple! Thanks Melissa!
Hi I really like this episode on cleaning your washer and dryer I wish I would have saw you 12 years ago ! My wife who I love dearly is legally blind and you just don't know what it's like to live with someone like this . She put everything where she wants to find it even if it's in the way . She does a lot for me and I do a lot for her but this is a battle . I have a hearing problem and it makes me feel sick all the time but I'm ok . There has to be some sort of compromise on holding down on all the stuff we own. We live in a old house in West Virginia but it's home for us . I want to thank you for your videos they have helped .
Is it crazy I am 20 and obsessed with cleaning? I'm always yelling at friends when I walk into their apartments. Ugh from cars to their bathrooms. People are just gross and I can't live like that!! Cleaning is so much fun to me! Long story short, thanks for these videos & doing what you do best! You're an inspiration for me to say the least :)
Nothing crazy with living a clean life haiiihaley !
..and don't worry about how others live - that's their thing - you keep doing your thing :)
Thanks for watching!
You should start your own cleaning service. Lots of us disabled people could use you. God bless.
Ur probably 25 now
You are my kindred. I gotta keep things clean
Hey Melissa, Love your videos. Can't wait to see the new laundry room. You always inspire me.
I love your videos, it make so much sence how to keep your washers and dryer healthy
What I'd love to we see in the laundry series.
-DIY laundry & Fabric softener (I see a lot of recipes on Pinterest but I'm scared to try them, especially in HE washers/dryers)
- best way to whiten dingy whites
-a stain encyclopedia (stain and method to remove)
Thanks!!
Yet another helpful video! It makes me so happy when I see a new video from you! Thank you!!
You are amazing! Your Mom should be proud!
Great video....very important, especially for front load washers. Thanks.
I never thought I'd ever be excited about laundry but after 11 foster kids these really help! Keep the great content coming!
Thanks for the video. I tried it today and the washer is much improved.
Very helpful video thanks and keep them coming!
Thanks! Been wanting to clean my washer, and found this video with easy steps.
Thank you for all your videos, honestly so helpful. This one is different to your book
Thanks Melissa.. I love your videos!!! Keep them coming please..
You are amazing, thank you. I share your tips with all my neighbours.
Thank you for feeding my inner neat freak. I just had plumbing work done to restore my hot water feature lol and needed tips on cleaning a high efficiency with natural ingredients. You are a true kindred spirit, I have all products on hand!!! Running the cleaning cycle with a childlike exuberance as I comment. You helped me, I subscribed and will share. I look forward to driving my kids crazy but making them neat freaks with your help... lol
Definitely doing this soon
Awesome melissa! Thanks again for sharing. Now I know the cleaning method for the dryer hose. Love this video:)
Thank you, the video is very useful
BONUS TIP: After you're done breaking your back cleaning the machines, continue on and wax them with car wax. It's even easier if you have an electric polisher.
Not only with it shine the machines up quite a bit and make them nice and slick, it will repel dust and dirt really well for some time to come, making future cleaning even easier!.
Laundry storage organization is something I really want to see.
every video i watch i like you more! thanks for inspiration and ideas !!!
yay for the laundry series!! I would like to know how to keep clothes from fading.
All of your Spring Cleaning videos are making me excited to move into my new apartment this summer! I cannot wait to clean up everything in the house and have my own routine of cleanings without my roommates disturbing me... Lol
I wanna see "how to get grease stains off of your clothes"! I've tried vinegar, baby power, dish soap.... But it just didn't work well enough
That's so great - these will help you so much!
Great tip on cleaning these items...I am now freaked out about my dryer, since I've never done this....going today to clean it...amazing as always! Happy Sunday Melissa and Chad! XxxxMaria
Totally addicted to your cleaning videos and truly each and every tip has made a massive difference to our lives. I stopped using fabric softener and sheets (coating clothes with petroleum byproducts is like dousing then with gasoline) and went ht vinegar route. In weeks of doing this my reactions to back breakouts and redness/rashes completely stopped. The vinegar has literally stripped my cottons of their build up and no longer hold that overly perfumed odour. Thanks. For your new laundry segment I would like to see better ays to deal with shedding dog and cat hair season as daily laundry and top sheets on our beds to protect the quilts and coverlets are required. The machines tend to collect massive hair daily. Thanks so much.
Love this video. Answered all of my cleaning issues when it came to the washer and dryer. Thank you!!! Can't wait for the laundry series - my question is getting that weird smell out of workout clothes. I've tried a lot of different things. Perhaps you can tackle this one.
Thank you this is a true Life saver I think I almost had a drier fire and and Following your advice its a huge preventive measure! Thanks Melissa!
thanks for putting your cleaning videos so now my house is so clean like your house
This is so helpful thank you so much
so helpful! thank you!
I found this video after washing the afresh video. I'll give this a try (for my sensitive nose) , thank you.
This heaven for every clean freak like myself! I can't get over this :)
Same here
I've got a great tip that really does work. Use only DRY detergent! I watched a youtube video where a repairman recommended this and after many months of using only dry, I finally have no odor in my washing machine!
Thanks!
Thank you for your videos, GOD bless you and your husband ☺
You only got 5 years out of your washer? Ive had mine for over 15 years, no problems except for a bad lid switch earlier this year. The technician said to keep my washer and dryer because the new ones are junk. I think i paid about 600 for the pair. Im going to try your tips, my clothes are smelling a bit funky.
Thanks a lot dear. You are my new fav on youtube your vdos and tips have helped me alot. Stay blessed XOXO
Thanks for the good tips! I'm gonna clean my washing machine tomorrow. As I live in Europe, we usually don't have dryers, so my work will be a lot easier :)
Just found your channel and very impressed with the suggestions. Is there a way to clean a detergent dispenser tray that has alot of caked on washing powder?
pretty nice thanks alot!
This helps so much my washer was about to get cleaned today literally it smelt and I was thinking that it would be nice to clean it out so this video really helps me thanks clean my space
Awesome! Glad we launched this for you today!
I love your cleaning
thank u this really helped me out
This video came just at the right time for me....thank you xxx
Glad to hear!
Thank you for these tips :)
My dryer has the same lint catcher. This is perfect
Great video
A repair guy for our clothes washer showed us if you remove the panel on the front, there will be a screen that really needs cleaned at least once a year, it's like a lint trap for the washer and will be full of gunk, he said that none of the owners manuals ever mention them, but he highly recommended keeping it cleaned at minimum once a year. :-)
Hello, could you do a video on storage in your laundry room,shelving,ect. Thanks you two!!
i enjoyed this video thank you
Thanks!! Been waiting a long time for this.
Yes - glad we could finally get to it!
Very good video! Thank you!
This is so cool! I love that this exists! My question is: How do I get rid of this weird smell of my washer which has an integrated dryer in it as well? I will try what you suggested but am not sure as it's not a stand alone washer if that makes sense... Thank you :)
you should also be doing nightly news, nice job!
I love you Melissa, best TH-camr
This video is great and very helpful. I cannot believe some people clicked the dislike button!
Wow!!! I was on TH-cam looking for a laundry video! I just realized I don't know how to do laundry, I just wing it! No measuring detergent, no set time to do laundry, not following the label instructions, I'm a mess. I can't wait for that video!!!!
Re: laundry vid series - I would love to learn about all natural ways to clean laundry (particularly white clothing). My kids have very sensitive skin! Thank you!
I'm so sorry for the loss of your washing machine :( Thanks for all of the helpful videos!!
We're getting through this tough time....
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos. Thanks so much for doing them :) Cant wait for more videos.
Thanks, and you are welcome!
Great video! Do you have any suggestions on how to clean the inside of a dryer? I have a little one so needless to say there have been some things (diapers) that were inadvertently dried in the dryer. Any tips on how to clean/disinfect inside without ruining the function of the dryer? Thanks!
thank you so much!!!!! it was i big help!!!!
Just had to spend a bunch of time scrubbing gum out of my rental dryer. Ended up using Pam spray and it worked well with a nylon scrapper. You might want to include that in the laundry series.
I hope you do some videos on your renovations ,and do a tour of the laundry room when you are finished . In a few months im going to be renovating my old laundry room, so it would good to see some ideas for insperation :)
That's exactly what we plan to do!
yay cant wait to watch them ! :)
the washer and dryer that you guys are gonna get, i own these :) they're great! you will not regret buying them :D
Awesome
I just found this channel, and I love it!
When you do the laundry series, could you please do a video on how to clean the inside of a portable clothes steamer? Sometimes I forget to pour out the excess water when I'm done, and it gets yucky inside. I haven't found anything that gets it totally clean yet.
OMG THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I requested this!
You are welcome!
Thanks for the great tips Melissa as I was about to tackle mine tomorrow. By the way I love the extra little effects in this video Chad :)
Chad thanks you for the shout-out shehasrisen :)
Thanks for the great info! Don't forget to clean the lint screen also! The dryer sheets cause a build up on it that needs to be cleaned with hot soapy vinegar water & a brush every few months. =)
Thanks so much for this video Melissa! Just wanted to ask how applicable this would be for a top loading washer? :)
Great video as always! My request would be: what do you do to tackle an 'old' stain... when you get something out of the wash having already washed and dried it then spot a stain you should have soaked and tackled straight away? Any super tips there?? Just an idea anyways :-)
Great video! thank you! What about the inside, the drum, of the dryer? Any recommendations for cleaning this? TIA!
Awesome video!!!! I always wanted to know how to clean my was he and dryer, but especially the dryer! It was a scary chore, before, because I never really knew exactly what to do! Thanks! All your videos have been so helpful!
Thanks Elizabeth!
It's not as daunting as it seems to clean the dryer - and doesn't take very long at all!
I am learning a lot through all your videos! They are actually making me" want" to clean!! I really think" know how" is everything!
Melissa another fantastic cleaning video. I spent a lot of time cleaning my dryer, I never knew you had to clean the dryer duct. There was so much lint in the dryer duct and the back part of the inner dryer that I got sick from breathing it, it was like a hill of lint. I learned that it's best wear a breathing mask for cases as severe as mine. Though now the dryer is clean, my dryer is working like brand new, I can't believe how fast it gets hot to fry my clothes. I had a question regarding my washer: how many times a year clean my washer?
when you use essential oils in your laundry how do you keep them from causing stains?
Will chase up the HE fluid fabric softener. But a note: my unit is a washer/dryer in one. It takes around 3.5 hours for a load, which is excellent overnight. It has a steam setting and has built-in modes for cleaning, using bleach. Niiiice!
Thank you! Here in Brasil I saw many videos that used soda bleach for sanitizing the washing machine, how do you feel about that? Do you think that vinegar is better?
Excellent video! I am always wondering why so many people wash their dirty kitchen or bathroom mats with washing machine. How to keep the washer clean after washing the dirty cloths? Thanks!
I'm so glad you did this video. I knew my washer needed to be cleaned but I wasn't sure how to do it. As for the laundry series, it would be helpful if you did a video on sorting clothes. How many ways do clothes need to be sorted? If I have a white shirt with a design on it where does it get sorted? What should really be hung vs. what should be folded and optimizing your drawer space. Should you use fabric softener on jeans and towels?
Perfect - thanks!
Always best not to use chemical fabric softener. If you want to use something, dryer balls are better. Chemical fabric softener will create a barrier on fabric that prevents it from absorbing perspiration and water (really bad for towels) and can damage the chemical processing on your jeans (might even change the color).
Remembered you had videos on this topic.perfect tips that I was in neef for. Just moved and have my first own washing machine and it was left so so dirty >< and sandy...the clothes came out wors than before I washed them.
For your laundry series, can you include any tips for removing paint from clothes???
Great informative video. Is it true that dryer sheets should not be used in high efficiency dryers? Also, I noticed that between washes, when I pull out the tray that holds detergent, bleach, etc., I noticed that water is in the bleach compartment. The bleach has been dispensed but water is in the compartment after I've finished washing a load of clothes. What could be causing this issue? Last question, should I fill these compartments just to the max fill line or below the max fill line?
I actually just had to take my dryer apart because I little women that I am :) diagnosed and fixed my own dryer - and with doing that found a whole crap load of lint in the bottom of the vessel that houses the lint screen! I clean that thing every load so I was amazed at the load of lint I found! Can u say holy house fire!! My hubby was very great full and proud that I saved another appliance from doom. I've also fixed the washer, the fridge and my dishwasher! All I can say is thank god for you tube and the Internet! I think once you do the laundry video you should do one on fantom set in stains - especially on dark clothing
Yeah - it's actually scary when you see the lint down there, right? You sound QUITE handy!
:) well I figure the kind of washer and dryer I REALLY want is way out of our league so might as well save the ones I have :)
Hi On the Dryer lint trap,What's best way to Clean ? Ty in advance ☆♡☆
Just watched your excellent video...But you mentioned the dryer sheets can leave a film on the inside of the dryer. What's the best way to clean the INSIDE of your dryer.
My laundry machine is over 25 years old still works but I love you video that it be cleaned.
Lucky you - yeah - when we were buying the new one a lady at the store told us the average lifespan for new machines is 5-10 years (!?!?!?!). That seems pretty low to me!
What kind of essential oils do you use? What brand and where do you buy them?
From Brenda lee
Do you also clean out the dryer vent?
When it gets plugged up it will also take a lot longer to dry the clothes or get to a point where the clothes come out damp when they normally would’ve been dried.
Hi Melissa we bought front loader washer and dryer about a year ago and I'm noticing mildew and mold smell. Thanks I'm going to do this tomorrow. Also for the laundry series can you do a "how to remove Bo odor and stains from shirts, my fiancé sweats all day and when I throw them in the washer the smell is still there even if they are new it's the same smell I've also tried baking soda and it doesn't help. Thanks I appreciate it
Curious if u schedule your laundry and cleanIng in general or just do things as they look like they need attention?
I watched both this vid and you Affresh vid. My washer has a lint problem, I think. Yes, washer, not dryer. There's no filter on my machine. My clothes come out with a haze over them, making them look worn. In fact, at first I thought maybe the washer was actually roughing them up. I now do all loads on cold, delicate cycle. Maybe it's just time to replace. I was wondering if you've ever received a question along these lines and if you might have any suggestions. I'm doing the baking soda/vinegar clean now and hoping for the best. Although, odor is not the problem.
I've tried everything...i clean professionally 2+ years now...lime away works the best for me with mr clean erasers....you can use a special steel wool that doesn't scratch with natural products but will take a lot for elbow grease and time
So, you put the vinegar and essential oils directly in the tub (even with a front loader)? I saw somewhere to put it in the bleacher dispenser.
What is the best iron board cover? Cotton or teflon
