How to Clean Rust from a Washing Machine?

CLR could be fixing a poorly running washing machine. John had the right idea. Before you spend the money on major repairs for your washing machine, running CLR through your washer could solve your problems.

Removing Rust From Top Loading Machines:

1.Run the machine up to the main wash cycle.
2.Stop the machine just before it starts to agitate.
3.Add a ½ cup of CLR into the tub.
4.Complete the cycle.

Removing Rust from Front Loading Machines:

1.Add a ½ cup of CLR where you usually add detergent or softener.
2.Run your machine through a regular cycle.

Remember to always run an additional full cycle with only water after cleaning with CLR. For high efficiency or “water saver” machines, use only ¼ cup of CLR.

With the right steps, you can eliminate rust and ensure your washing machine operates efficiently, delivering fresh and clean clothes every time.

Aside from your washing machine, CLR^® Calcium, Lime & Rust Remover is also great for cleaning toilet bowl stains. For more info, view our video guide on how to clean a toilet.
