Alternatively if you want to make use of your machine being on you can do a 90 degree cycle with detergent and pop towels, inserts, and anything that can handle a 90 degree wash.
For top loaders you'll need to run the longest cold cycle you can with some chlorine bleach in the drum. This method can also work for front loaders if you prefer this method.
Use approximately 1/2 cup of 4.2% bleach or 2 cups of 1%.
Step 2: Clean the filters.

Step 3: Wipe it over.
Wipe all doors, seals, rims, lids etc to remove any residual detergent or bacteria that me be present.
And you're done!
