Using Liquid Bleach In The Machine Clean Cycle
I can't find my owners manual for my Maytag Bravos washer. I have cleaned it twice since purchasing it, once with the provided cleaning product and once with liquid bleach as also recommendedKMNV. I can't remember how much bleach to dispense for the cleaning process. The reminder light is on and I want to be sure to get it done.
