A lot of the newer washers on the market have a self-cleaning mode, which many of the manufacturers recommend using a name-brand washer cleaner. These are pricey little tablets, but I have an alternative solution that is not only easy to do yourself but leaves your washer smelling fresh and clean without using harmful ingredients.
I use 1-2 cups of baking soda and cover the entire drum with such. Then I add 3-4 drops of ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ฅ and 3-4 Drops of ๐๐๐จ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ฅ.

When added to water, abode oil blend makes a great nontoxic cleaner and can be used not only in your washer, but throughout your home. Abode essential oil blend provides powerful cleansing constituents like limonene, geranial, neral, and 1,8-Cineole.
Litsea has both citral and limonene constituents, which are significant for their antimicrobial properties/antibacterial properties. Arborvitae essential oil has thujone, sabinene, ฮฑ-pinene constituents also known for their antimicrobial properties.
Lemon Myrtle, has both Geranial (ฮฑ-citral) and Neral (ฮฒ-citral): making it a great antimicrobial solvent.
Cassia due to its tannins, contribute to astringent effects and antimicrobial activity.
Lemon Eucalyptus and Kochii Eucalyptus both contain 1,8-Cineole which have antimicrobial properties.
