The Best Home Repair Hacks from Your Local Repairman

Washing Machine Cleaner

One home chore that not many are keen on is cleaning the washing machine. If you skip on this, the dirt from your washing cycles will get stuck in the washer, and the rubber seals around the door. To give your washer a deep clean, add two cups of baking soda and run a long hot cycle. After this is finished, add 2 cups of white vinegar and 10 drops of your favorite essential oil, which will act as a disinfectant and remove any lingering smells.
