Sharp or heavy objects should not be put on or in the washer. Check pockets for bolts, nuts, etc. If the washer interior needs cleaning, put 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent in the washer. Run through a complete cycle using hot water. When removing hard water deposits, use only cleaners labeled as being washer safe. After tinting or dyeing, put chlorine bleach and detergent in the washer. Run through a complete cycle using hot water to remove excess dye or tint. If staining occurs on following loads, repeat the process.
