I know, it is impossible to eliminate all chemicals, but if I can, I try to substitute gentler cleaning products in exchange for harsh chemicals. I figured out a way to clean my washing machine without using toxic chemicals.

Front load washers get NASTY down here in FLaDuh. I use vinegar to clean mine often. Also useful is leaving the door open when not in use.

I live in a hard water area. So I put a water softener tablet in each wash then I dry the rubber gasket with a paper towel and leave the door open for half an hour or so to air dry the inside. My machine always looks like new. No need for a cleaning regime.
