“The toothpaste is a bit abrasive, helping remove mold and the acid in lemon juice is naturally antibacterial and great at removing dirt and bacteria.”
People on Instagram really like this cleaning tip, and they say it’s a good way to save money instead of buying special cleaners for washing machines.
One person said: “This is far cheaper than buying washing machine cleaning fluids they sell!” Someone else mentioned: “I must try this!”
Some folks were wondering if you could do the same thing with a dishwasher, and Kerrie told her followers that it works. “Can you use this for dishwashers?” asked one user, and Kerrie answered: “Yes and white vinegar with bicarbonate of soda in there.”
