To wash the drum of an LG washing machine, you can follow these steps:
Prepare the cleaning solution: Mix a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. You may need about 2 cups of each, depending on the size of your washing machine.
Wipe the drum's interior: Take a clean cloth or sponge and dampen it with the vinegar and water solution. Wipe the interior of the drum thoroughly, paying attention to any visible dirt, stains, or residue. Be sure to reach all areas, including the corners and crevices.
Clean the rubber gasket (if applicable): If your LG washing machine has a rubber gasket around the door, it's important to clean it as well. Wipe it with the vinegar and water solution to remove any mold, mildew, or debris. You can use an old toothbrush or a soft brush to scrub away stubborn stains or buildup.
Run a cleaning cycle: Many LG washing machines have a self-clean or tub clean cycle specifically designed to clean the drum. Refer to your washing machine's manual to find out how to activate this cycle. Usually, you'll need to select the tub clean option from the control panel and follow the instructions provided.
Use a washing machine cleaner (optional): If you prefer, you can use a commercial washing machine cleaner instead of vinegar and water. Follow the instructions on the cleaner's packaging to properly use it in the washing machine drum.
Wipe down the exterior: After cleaning the drum, take a clean, damp cloth and wipe down the exterior of the washing machine, including the control panel and any other surfaces.
Regularly cleaning your LG washing machine's drum can help prevent odors, residue buildup, and maintain optimal performance. It's a good practice to clean the drum every few months or as needed, depending on your usage and the condition of the machine.
