Instead of sponges, we use old terry cloth towels, then clean our washer and towels at the same time, with more Clorox in the washer.

I had never thought of "cleansing" my washing machine either. I'll definitely be doing this today! Thanks for the great tips!

We have pets and kids so I have always been a little fanatical when it came to certain appliances and keeping them clean.

I'll use the Clorox but I guess tossing in a rubber ducky is out of the question, huh?

Thank you!

I also use Clorox in my dishwasher occasionally, especially flu season.

Great job! Mon, 24 Oct 2011 09:31:47 -0700 Robin OSullivan http://www.europeanopticalsociety.org/laugh/mom-moments/day-4-washing-machine-cleanse/#comment-252
