How To Clean a Washing Machine

My son has learned how to do laundry so well that I rarely have to check up on him. He knows how to sort, check pockets, load a washing machine, add laundry detergent, select a cycle, etc. I’m so proud. Mostly because while I’m busy with some other cleaning task, he can do the laundry. And also because, with a family of seven…laundry never sleeps. The next step is teaching him how to clean the washing machine.
