Do you have a setting on your washer to run a cleaning cycle? Mine is called "refresh".
Are you referring to the drum of the washer? If so, I am having a hard time figuring out how lint could get above the water level, perhaps it's detergent residue? No matter. I would break out the vacuum with the brush attachment to get the bulk of it. You don't want it to clog the drain. Then use use a stiff brush and vacuum out what falls in the drum. Wipe with vinegar until it's clean.
You may want to use less detergent or, if using powder, switch to a liquid. That may prevent future problems.
