Wash with Soap and Water

Use a sponge or cloth with soapy water to wipe the tray. Clean all the surfaces, including corners and edges.

Check for Mold or Residue

Look closely for any mold or sticky residue. If you see any, scrub it away with a brush or an old toothbrush.

Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse the tray well with clean water to remove any soap or cleaning solution. Ensure no soap is left behind.

Dry Completely

After rinsing, let the tray air dry completely. You can also use a dry cloth to speed up the drying process.

Clean Regularly

It's a good idea to clean the washing machine tray regularly to prevent any buildup of detergent or fabric softener.

Check the Manufacturer's Instructions
