How to Clean LG Tromm Front Loading Washers

LG Tromm front-loading washing machines provide a wide range of options to clean and care for your clothes. Front-load washing machines can build up residue from detergent or mold growth due to the small amount of water they use. This can lead to foul odor or buildup inside the machine that can transfer to your clothes. The LG website recommends cleaning your washing machine once a month to keep it looking and performing its best.
