#2 How to clean your Samsung dryer?
Clean the lint filter before or after every load
- Cleaning the lint filter is easy. Open the door, and then pull out the lint filter from inside the drum. Remove the lint that has accumulated inside the space. You can use a pipe cleaner to clear out the lint filter compartment. Clean the lint off the filter, reinsert the filter, and then close the door.
- Given the choice between doing this before or after a cycle, we recommend before, since it will mean less lint for your dryer to deal with. But why not both? It never hurts to have as little lint as possible in your lint filter.
Clean the drum when necessary
- Most of the time, you do not have to worry about moisture piling up in your dryer as long as you don't let wet clothes sit before starting the cycle. Wet or damp clothes can cause a mold or mildew smell to linger around the inside of the dryer, and you will want to prevent that from happening. Additionally, something might spill or stain your dryer (like a crayon or pen left in a pocket) so you may still need to clean your dryer's drum now and then.
- If your dryer's drum is powder coated, you can remove stains from it with an all-purpose cleaner. Then, use some old towels or rags you don't care about and tumble them through a dry cycle. They will collect the remaining stains or cleaner. Even if stains are left on your drum after that point, they will not get on your clothes anymore.
- To clean a stainless steel drum, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for easily marred surfaces. Then, remove the cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.
