How to clean a washing machine with vinegar and baking soda - make the most of these natural cleaning agents in 6 easy steps

Utility area of a kitchen with washing machine, tumble dryer, cabinets and shelving.

When you want to clean your home, it can be easy to stock up on chemicals and branded products that claim to get the job done.

As Laura Harnett, Founder of Seep, explains, ‘Washing machines are arguably the hardest-working appliance in the home.
