Cleaning washing machine

Here is a simple way to clean up the scum in the washing machine and hoses:

1. Pour a cup of white distilled vinegar into the soap tray of the washing machine
2. Run a regualr wash cycle without any clothes or laundry detergent

This will flush out the scum within the drum and hoses of the washing machine.
