• 1 cup of baking soda
• 1 cup of white vinegar
• 1/2 cup of washing soda crystals
• 1/2 cup of salt
• A plumbing snake (optional)
• A drain cleaning expert (optional)

Before you start cleaning the drain pipe, make sure to disconnect the drain hose from the washing machine. This will give you access to the pipe and prevent any water from flowing back into the machine.

Use a plumbing snake or a long, thin brush to remove any visible debris and lint from the drain pipe. This will help loosen any clogs and make the cleaning process easier.

In a bowl, mix 1 cup of baking soda, 1 cup of washing soda crystals, and 1/2 cup of salt. This mixture will help break down any tough clogs and odors in the drain pipe.

Pour the cleaning solution into the drain pipe, making sure to cover the entire length of the pipe. Let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour to allow the mixture to work its way through the pipe.

After the cleaning solution has sat for the recommended time, rinse the drain pipe with hot water to remove any remaining debris and residue.

Pour 1 cup of white vinegar into the drain pipe to help neutralize any bad odors and leave your washing machine smelling fresh.

Once you've completed the cleaning process, reconnect the drain hose to the washing machine and test the drain pipe to make sure it's flowing freely.
