Laundry Maintenance Guides
Dryer fires and moldy washers both come from skipped maintenance. These guides cover the lint traps, vents, and washer cleaning that keep your laundry room safe and your clothes coming out fresh.
How to Clean Your Dryer Lint Trap
Clean your dryer lint trap before every load and deep-clean it monthly. It takes 2 minutes and prevents dryer fires, high energy bills, and long dry times.
How to Clean Your Dryer Vent
Clean your dryer vent in about an hour to prevent fires and cut dry times. Disconnect the vent, vacuum and brush out the lint, and reattach.
How to Clean Your Washing Machine
Clean your washing machine in 30 minutes to eliminate mildew smells and soap scum buildup. Run a hot cycle with vinegar and wipe down the gasket and dispenser.
How to Maintain Your Vacuum
Maintain your vacuum in 15 minutes every 3 months to keep suction strong and avoid burning out the motor. Empty the bin, wash the filter, clear the brush roll, and check the belt.
How to Replace Washing Machine Agitator Dogs
Replace worn agitator dogs in your top-load washing machine in 20 minutes. A $5 part fixes an agitator that spins freely and stops cleaning clothes.
