# How to Clean a Whirlpool Calypso Washer
A Whirlpool Calypso washer is different from other top-loading washers because it doesn’t have an agitator. Instead, it features a wash plate at the bottom of the tub that lifts, bounces and rolls the laundry through the detergent and water. As with any other washer, the Calypso requires routine cleaning -- about once a month -- to remove detergent buildup and other grime from inside the machine.
