Laundromats are a tough place to keep clean sometimes and it’s easy to overlook items that get a little grungy over time. Sometimes you need to stop and look at the store like a new customer would.
I noticed a couple of my washers were getting a little run-down looking. With the soap, bleach, and water being splashed on the tops and fronts it was time for a cleaning.
Finding the right cleaner can be a challenge as well.
I read recently about a product called Barkeepers Friend so I thought I would give it a shot.
It can be found in a lot of stores so I went to my local big box building store and using their app found the location of the cleaners. I picked up the dry and soft scrubs so I could see the difference.
After leaving them in my other car the first time and not having the time to use them on the next trip I finally combined the trip, time and cleaner to the same day and headed at a couple of washers.
It did take a bit of rubbing in some spots but overall they came up great. When I was finished a used a stainless spray cleaner to put a slight coating over the stainless to help keep the water and detergent from sticking.
This picture shows the left washer that has been cleaned with Barkeepers Friend
Both of these have been cleaned. The one on the right has been sprayed with a regular stainless steel Cleaner/ Protectant. It leaves a slightly oily feel so it needs to be rubbed with a dry cloth.
( I didn’t clean the coin boxes)
