How do you degrease a washing machine? Measure out two cups of distilled white vinegar and pour it directly into your washing machine’s detergent dispenser. Set the washer to run on its longest cycle with the hottest water. Sprinkle half a cup of baking soda directly into the drum of the washing machine and run it on the same settings (highest and hottest).

The deposits of grease build up with repeated washings of greasy clothes. They become resistant to removal by detergent and hot water during the washer’s regular wash cycle.
Why are my clothes coming out of the washer with grease stains? The Drum Is Dirty
