When you think about it, needing to clean a washing machine makes perfect sense. 

The machine cleans off the dirt on your clothes, and that dirt obviously needs somewhere to go. 

Washing machines can easily collect dirt, bacteria and even fungus after some time.

But it doesn’t have to cost you the earth. 

And you don’t have to fork out on new cleaning products according to some cleaning fans, with some saying that you may already own some of the products to help you clean.

Mrs Hinch cleaning fans have taken to the Facebook group ‘Cleaning tips and tricks’ to share their secrets to getting your household items sparkling clean. 

And one of them is the washing machine.

One cleaning fan asked the page: “What products would you recommend for cleaning a washing machine? 

“I’ve got mildew in behind the drawer.

“Obviously I don’t want to use bleach or anything that could harm my laundry.

“Thanks in advance.” 

Many Mrs Hinch cleaning fans rushed to the comments section to share their secrets, and surprisingly one professional cleaner wrote: “Mouthwash mint.”

And if you don’t already have it, it costs around 90p from shops including Sainsbury’s and B&M. 

According to SheFinds, just half a cup of mouthwash on an empty cycle can really make your washer smell amazing and clean the nasty bits of mould.

Firstly you pour one cup of mouthwash into your washing machine or your washing machine’s detergent reservoir. 

Run a regular wash cycle using hot water. 

Do not wash clothes during this process. 

The mouthwash will work its way throughout your washing machine, cleaning any debris, mould or mildew in the process.
