If your washing machine smells bad, looks grimy, or just isn’t cleaning like it used to—don’t rush to buy expensive cleaners. With just lemon and toothpaste, you can give it a deep clean and bring it back to life. This simple home trick works wonders and takes just a few minutes!
Why Lemon and Toothpaste?
Lemon is a natural disinfectant. It removes limescale, kills bacteria, and leaves a fresh scent.
Toothpaste contains mild abrasives that help scrub away dirt, soap scum, and build-up—plus it deodorizes!
1 lemon (cut in half)
Regular white toothpaste (not gel)
A clean cloth or sponge
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Apply toothpaste to the cut side of the lemon (like a natural scrub brush).
Use the lemon to scrub the inside of the drum, the rubber seal, and even the detergent drawer.
Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes to break down grime and odor.
Wipe everything down with a damp cloth.
Run an empty hot wash cycle (no laundry) to rinse everything out.
What You’ll Notice:
Fresh, clean smell
No more musty or sour odors
Sparkling drum and seal
