Washing Machine Maintenance: Practical Tips for Homeowners

By UrbanQuick Store Editorial Team · Updated

Clean the drum

Run an empty hot or drum-clean cycle regularly, following the manufacturer's instructions, to reduce odour and residue.

Filters

Clean the lint and drain filters and check the inlet hose filter. An inlet water filter can help where the water supply carries sediment.

Use the right detergent

Use detergent suited to your machine type and avoid overdosing, which leaves residue.

Level and protect

Keep the machine level and off damp floors. A stand and cover help protect it.
