How do I maintain my washer and dryer?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Clean the dryer lint trap after every load and vacuum the exhaust vent twice a year. Run a cleaning cycle on your washer monthly with a washing machine cleaner or vinegar. Leave the washer door open between uses to prevent mold. Level the machines to reduce vibration and noise.
Why It Matters
Proper laundry appliance maintenance prevents fire hazards from lint buildup, extends the life of your machines, and keeps them running efficiently.
