Washer Drum and Seal
Wipe the inside of the drum with a damp cloth. Pay attention to the rubber door seal. Mold and mildew grow there fast. Leave the door open after each load.

Laundry Room Cleaning Checklist
Most people clean around the laundry room. They miss what is behind and inside the machines. Lint buildup in the dryer is a fire risk. Soap scum in the washer drum causes odors. This checklist covers every item. Alex's Cleaning Service includes the laundry room as a standard room in every deep clean.
Dryer Lint Trap and Interior
Clean the lint trap after every use. Every six months, use a brush to clean inside the slot. Lint buildup is the top cause of dryer fires in the US.
Behind and Under the Machines
Pull machines out once a season. Sweep or vacuum the floor behind them. Wipe the wall and hoses with a damp cloth.

Details That Get Missed
The detergent drawer collects sticky residue. Pull it out and rinse it under warm water. Dry it before putting it back. The cabinet shelves above the machines gather dust and dryer lint even when the door is closed.
Floor grout in the laundry room traps soap and lint. A stiff brush and mild cleaner work well. Pulling machines out twice a year also helps spot slow leaks before they damage the floor.
