A smoothly running washing machine is everyone's cup of tea. Not worrying about dripping water, staining clothes, weird smells, or anything out of the ordinary is what we all want. Laundry day can get boring, messy, tedious, but not any more fun if your machine is not cooperating. Follow our tips from, Fred Glinke Plumbing & Sewer to ensure that your washing machine is well kept
Take Your Loads Out
As simple as it is, when your load is done, take it out! Leaving your clothes wet and to soak in your washing machine can cause mildew and mold to form. On top of that your clothes may start to hold a musty smell. Being mindful of your loads and making sure not to under or over load conserves water and energy in your home. Easy reminders like setting a timer or watching one episode of your favorite show when your load goes on, can help your clothes smell better and your washing machine will thank you.
Detergent Must Be Right
It is easy to just grab the detergent that smells the best for its price. But have you ever thought to figure out what exact detergent your machine takes? Modern and highly efficient washing machines are often designed to only use certain types of detergent. Avoid damaging your machine and take a peek at your user manual to see what you should be buying.

Clean Your Machine
Your washing machine cleans just about everything for you, do it a favor and give it a nice cleaning. Simple upkeep like wiping your washer door gasket dry can save mold from growing in the small crevices of your machine. Most don’t think twice but pay attention to your filters. Most washers have multiple filters and upkeep is vital on them. The user manual of your machine has the instructions on where and how to maintain filters. Thoroughly wash your washing machine! Go through the drums and fabric softener dispenser and wipe it clean. Gunk can easily be built up in these wet places and it's important you get it out before it makes your life harder.
Level Your Machine
We hope that your washer is level to the ground. When a machine is placed on uneven ground it can cause the machine to get agitated and have unnecessary movements. Leveling which is a small difference can mean all that much. Loose, leaking and a possible burst is possibly pending if your machine is not level. Go the extra step in making the correct adjustments to make your washing machine have the perfect standing ground.
