Laundry Room Cleaning Checklist
Follow this step-by-step guide to efficiently clean your laundry room (in just a few hours, or over the course of a few days).
- Run white vinegar through the washer. This will sanitize the inside and clear away soap scum.
- Empty the lint trap. Wipe off fuzz with a damp cloth or a used fabric-softener sheet. Or wet your hands and run your fingers over the mesh screen to scoop up the lint. Fabric softener can cause a waxy buildup on the screen, so wash it out in a sink or vacuum it.
- Wipe the interior walls of the dryer. Use a cloth dampened with dishwashing liquid and warm water. Scrub any linty residue around the trap opening with an old toothbrush, if necessary.
