Getting Rid of Residue

• 1). Empty your washer completely.
  
  
• 2). Pour 1 cup of distilled white vinegar in the loading area. Run the washer on a normal cycle with hot water.
  
  
• 3). Check the washer for residue. Repeat the cycle with 1/2 cup baking soda instead of vinegar, if necessary.
  
  
• 4). Repeat this step once a month to keep fabric softener and soap residue from building up in the washer and hoses.
