Efficient Filter Cleaning Tips for Household Appliances
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Lifehacker
Cleaning your washing machine's filter is an important maintenance task that is often overlooked. To locate the filter, consult the owner's manual or search online using the manufacturer and model number. Different types of washing machines have filters in various locations, such as the center of the agitator for top-loading machines or on the front of the appliance for front-loading machines. Once located, remove the filter and clean it thoroughly using warm water, mild dish soap, and vinegar if necessary. It is recommended to clean the filter four times a year to prevent buildup and maintain optimal performance.
