In one video, she told viewers that she discovered a hidden part of the washing machine that makes it 10 times easier to clean.
Opening a drawer at the start of the video, she first asked viewers, “Have you ever wondered what the button on your washing machine is for?”
Pushing it down, she found that the tray had slid all the way down.
She then moved it to the sink, where she gave it a deep clean, making sure to get into every crevice of the compartment.

“You can come in here and scrub it and get rid of all the mold and mildew and fabric softener build-up,” she explained.
Without mold and mildew, clothes will not smell musty and disgusting.
However, some washing machines do not have this feature.
For those who might not, she had a simple solution and continued, “If you don’t have that button, you can take lemon juice and then baking soda and you’ll see it start to activate.
“Then take a scrub brush or toothbrush to remove all the mold.”
After inspecting it once, she found that “everything was clean.”
In the caption, TikTok user @mindymcknight added: “Here’s the answer!”
People were quick to comment with one person writing: “So happy I found this video. I’ve been wanting to clean ours for a while, but I didn’t want to mess it up.”
Another shared: “I’ve been wondering why since I was 6 and I’m 15 thanks,” along with a smiley emoticon.
A third posted: “Once again tiktok taught me more than school lol”.
While a fourth added: “mine was NASTY!” with a raised hand emoji.
