There’s no time like the present to make your home and your office sparkle like never before.

Here’s how to tackle your spring clean like a pro. Focus on the major tasks. It’s all about following the list and not giving up. Get those windows open and get cleaning.

  • Put two cups of vinegar in the bottom of your machine and turn cycle on – switch off for 20 minutes mid cycle and then turn back on again. Wipe out machine when cycle finished.

Tips for cleaning your washing machine:

  • Remove filter and clean.
  • Run cycle empty using a descaler.
  • Wipe the rubber door gasket.
