Just make sure you don't EVER use vinegar AND bleach

i just watched a different video and the lady said to put the vinegar in the soap dispenser and close it and put baking soda in the compartment next to the vinegar. that's what i just did.

i've tried to clean it by setting a cup of vinegar on the top rack and it seemed foolish after the cycle was finished because the cup was still sitting there w/ the vinegar inside of it .

so i dont see how that did any good. lol

If u put the bleach or vinegar in, do it after the first prewash, or else it will be drained out before the main wash starts.
