{How To Video} How to Clean a Drain Clean Out on a Front Load Washer!

From time to time I will notice that my washer just doesn't seem to work the same, Well that means its time to give it a good clean. Anyone who reads my blog knows I like to give my washer & dryer a good clean regularly. (read about it here How to Clean Your Front Load Washer!) Did you know that you should clean your Drain Clean Out Regularly. I know I didn't.

 When I finally cleaned mine out I found, Half a Screw, Hair, Lint and even a needle as you will see in the video below. Recently I went to clean it out and It was so bad I could barely get the filter out there was dog hair wrapped all around it I had to cut the hair off, and this is with cleaning it regularly. 

So if your washer is just not running the same read below and find out how to help it. or if you are just wanting to keep your washer running like the day you go it read on.

Most Front Load Washers Have a Drain Clean Out on the front of them, this will collect and Pennies, screws, Lint, Hair, Hair Clips and anything else that may me running around in your washer.

It's a good idea to give this a good clean about every 4 months, (If you have pets that shed I recommend every month & each time after cleaning dog bed etc...) to keep your washer running smoothly and it also helps with odors as there can be smelly gunk stuck in there.

Yep that's right the thing that cleans our clothes gets dirty.

Did you know your dirty laundry may actually be even dirtier after you wash it? yes it can, That's because experts say washing machines are teeming with bacteria that find their way onto your clothes... and then onto you.

One of the big problems but the smallest item is our undergarments, because of the presence of fecal matter and different types of bacteria they can carry.

If you wash a load of just underwear, there will be about 100 million E. coli in the washer, and they can be transmitted to the next load of laundry.

There's about a tenth of a gram of poop in the average pair of underwear.
And Children Underwear can be even worse! Grossed out yet? So what can Help? Cleaning Your Washer!

But how do you Clean a Washer?

Well here is how:

Wear Work Clothes your self because this Could get messy!

Brush Before Bath:

1. Give your Dog a good but  Quick Brush before his bath.

How to Wash your Dog:

Prep:

1. Place a towel on bottom of tub (this helps your dog not slip and keeps him from scratching the tub) 

2. Fill tub with water

Tip: If your dog don't like baths use a leash hooked to something strong to keep him in tub.

1. Put in ear drops, fill external ear canal and earflap with solution and massage gently for 30 seconds. Gently wipe with a tissue. repeat one more time.

Its best to do this twice a month.

{PETS} Removing Pet Hair From Around The Home!

One of the Biggest Issues pet owners face is animal hair, on the floors, furniture, and clothing.

Today we are going to talk about some tips that can help with this!

How can you keep your house clean if your pet is not?

You must regularly Groom your pet!

Later in the week we will have a post on how to do this properly.

Dose your Pet have a Favorite Spot on the sofa?

Place an old towel or sheet wherever your pet likes to rest, and periodically shake it outside to remove most of the hair before tossing it into the washing machine.

Pet Hair on Floors

Carpet:

To remove pet hair on carpeting, vacuum several times a week using full suction.

pick a vacuum with high-efficiency.

or

Squeegee it. (this really works nicely ) 

Wood & Other Hard Floors:

Use an Electrostatic Mop. They're more efficient than vacuums since they don't blow the hair around.

Pet hair on Clothing

Use a tape roller. I have one in every Closet in home, in my car and i even have a little travel on in my purse.

Pet hair on upholstery

Use the vacuum's upholstery tool or a hand vacuum with a motorized beater-bar attachment. 

Lint brushes designed for clothing and dry sponges also work well.

or

Try wearing a rubber kitchen glove and rubbing your hand over upholstery (this works really well but takes so time.)

You can Also use The Squeegee on upholstery.
