Clean Washing Machine

As you all know we moved into an apartment a few months ago. The part I liked about the apartment is that we have a washer and dryer in the apartment and we don't half to load up laundry and take it to the machines or anything like that.  Well I wanted t get things in order for the baby to come and get all the cloth diapers prepped before the little one got here. Well I took a good look at the washing machine and thought......NO way am I putting all my cloth diapers in that dirty machine! Well I took some time and decided to clean it out so I set off to pintrest to see how to clean it.

This is what it started off like. Yuck I know!! The top part that looks like a shadow ring around the top is a very disgusting ring of god knows what around the top. It was that way when we moved in. I can't believe I didn't do this earlier.

You will need :
2 Cups of Bleach
2 Cups of Vinegar
a microfiber cloth

First: Turn your water to the hottest setting. Then turn it to the largest load you can do fill the washer. Stop the cycle and add the bleach. Let it soak for an hour. Drain it and fill it up again. This time add the vinegar and let it set for an hour again. When it has set for an hour then get out your cloth and go to town on scrubbing off the yucky gunk. I did a good job but my arms got tired after a while and my big pregnant belly made it hard for me to clean it too long. Brian stepped in to help thank goodness. ( I also cleaned the drum part in the middle it was pretty yucky as well) After we scrubbed it all out and made it shine like new. I was so proud of what it looked like when I was done.

This is what it looked like after a few hours and some elbow grease!

 

I was not afraid to wash my cloth diapers in this clean washer! It took a few more hours to prep the diapers and I was done for the night!!
