Using Clorox wipes after spraying vinegar is a no-no. The result is the formation of chlorine gas, which when it comes in contact with moisture forms hydrochloric acid. Our bodies have a lot of water and if the chlorine gas comes into contact with our skin, eyes, or is inhaled the acids formed can do significant damage. It's OK to use both of these products as long as there is a thorough rinsing done in between them.

I appreciate your knowledge on that Glenn. ♥️ Thank you 🙏

Mine is three-years-old and is as clean as when it was new. Wipe the gasket down with a washcloth at the end of your wash day - really get into every fold. Remove the dispenser drawer and dry the top, bottom and sides of the compartment. Leave the drawer out to drain and dry overnight before putting it back. Every six months, drain and clean out the filter and never skip running the cleaning cycle when the machine prompts you to. One final thing, always leave the door open or ajar to prevent odors and mold. All of these steps are quick, easy and very effective.

Just cancelled my appt. with an appliance insurance company after seeing your video last night. after setting up an appt. with an appliance insurance company. I asked them to replace the rubber with the mold and the dispenser compartment which wasn't releasing the softner. I had never had these problems before and never new it had to be cleaned aside from affresh. Thank you so much for posting this! I wish I took before/after photos because the machine is 95% mold free and clean. Took a lot of elbow grease, bleach, 2 tablets of affresh for the after math but it looks amazing. God bless you and keep these videos coming ❤️

TYSM for your video. You've inspired me to clean my washer again to get the rest of the mold off. A few things for those who do not know. #1, the dispenser drawer comes completely out and every blue piece comes out as well so you separate/take apart every piece of the dispenser drawer, wash out in the sink then manually dry as much as you can. Let everything air dry keeping it all sparate. Ensure it's COMPLETELY dry before putting back together and back in its home. #2, the black hose next to the filter is the drain hose. You take the cap off to drain the water into a container, which is a good amount of water. Then you remove the filter after, never before. And PLEASE NEVER mix vinegar and bleach or use bleach or bleach products after using vinegar unless you have thoroughly rinsed & dried the vinegar off the area.

I just watched another video and it turns out that when cleaning the filter trap at the bottom, there is a little hose in that compartment that you pull out, remove the plug in the end, allowing the dirty water to easily drain that bottom compartment into a bucket/pan before unscrewing the filter itself. It helps with not having to let the water in the filter run out all in that that bottom filter compartment and likely onto the floor. Then you replace the plug in the hose, screw the filter/trap back in and are ready to go. Thanks for all the tips!

Another alternative to washer cleaner tablets is using washing soda (sodium carbonate) or oxygen bleach (sodium per carbonate) like oxiclean. Use like 1 or 2 cups and run a hottest cycle. It’s one of the main ingredients used in those afresh cleaner tabs. It helps to sanitise and help to remove detergent buildup. Also it has a stronger ph than baking soda. It worked well when I took my front loader out of storage as it has a lot of mould build up. It seriously clean it all up to brand new.

@johndoe-vc1we

Жыл бұрын

I use pure percarbonate. Oxiclean is only 30% and the rest is anti-caking agents and filler. About 50gm in 2.5 cu ft or 60-litre drum is good enough. Use more if your machine is larger. Can't say enough good things about oxygen bleach to clean out the drum. I also add a pound or a half kilo of clean fabric like hand towels to the drum. Helps to better swish the water all around the machine especially if it's a front loader and does a better job of cleaning than without.

It's THE video to help you with your washer. No need to remove the whole electric panel and everything. AMAZING!

White vinegar works like magic! I'm so glad to hear that from you. Also, if anyone ever gets sick in the car (I have 3 children so this has happened many times) you can put white vinegar in a bowl and leave it sit in the car overnight and it will soak up all the scent molecules. Works like a charm.

I have the exact set of machines. The drawer pulls completely out and ALL the blue parts pop out the clean really good and you need to clean under the drawer. And in the bottom compartment there is a black tube that you are supposed to pull out that has a white plug on the end and that is how you drain the water out. You just don't pull the filter right out. Clean in the hole that the filter goes in with a baby bottle brush.

How long do you wait between applications of different solutions? So far I gather: 1. Spray the ring with vinegar. Let sit for 1+ hour. Do you wipe it before you use Clorox wipes? 2. Clorox wipe around. How long after vinegar application do you do this? 3. Use the CLR mold remover. I’d assume wait for the Clorox wipes to air dry before using the CLR? You have the same washer and dryer that I have. It’s not in the video, but what disinfectant do you use in your dryer? And do you just use myers to freshen up the smell? Are there any other options you’ve liked? Like ram and hammer and such? Thank you for any info you can provide!

Thank you for reaching out Jacob 🙂 I appreciate your questions. They are all very good ones too. How bad is the mold in yours? I'm curious because it would make a bit of difference if it were less. If you have less, I would use only the CLR mold remover and that should do the trick. Once your mold is removed, a random pray of vinegar every week and a half or so with an hour sit would be preventative for sure. And the vinegar is natural so that is perfect for keeping it up. So in the video, mine was pretty bad. I used the vinegar and I wiped that out Very good with a wet cloth and a tiny bit of soap. Then I went over it quick with the Clorox wipe to get any more germs that may be there. That was to be thorough and mostly for satisfaction but not necessary unless you feel. After you make sure the vinegar is cleaned and diluted then the clear mold will get anything stubborn. I used the Mrs Meyers to freshen it up. I do that sometimes between washes too just to wipe it down. Also, if you wipe the outside of your washer, don't use Clorox where the letters are you know, where you pick delicate, normal, bedding, all that. That Clorox will take your letters off. Just a heads up. I will be making an updated video soon to answer and be more in depth to simplify this process more. Stick around so you can see it. I found something else recently that Worked wonders and will explain it about it then too.

Pull out your soap dispenser tray and you'll cringe. Its just as moldy. Just cleaned ours. Also pull off the 3 washer baffles inside the tub. Ours was absolutely disgusting. Thanx again for the informative video. Im cleaning the rubber boot liner next !!!

I've got black mold in a machine i got with the place I rented, I'm trying to clean it but the mold goes right through the system by the looks of it. The pipe which connects the draw to the drum is also full of mold, aside froma special tool to scrub those internal pipes I'm at a loss, I'm not even sure it's worth cleaning or just asking for it to be replaced? has the mold gone too far?

Never cleaned my machines, and have never seen any mold. However, 3 weeks ago the machine indicated that it need to self clean. This was the first time since I have this machine... Have it for over 3 years.

@@myranda_achvan I don’t know if you do that but still ; I always wipe dry the seal of the washer and keep it open. It helps me get rid of the lint and dry down the seal. After each use, I take out the drawer and let the remaining water go down a sink. Most of the time the drawer is kept on top of the washer so that the tubing inside is kept dry. Once a week after a wash, I spray vinegar in the tubing of the drawer ( mainly the top where the water dispense to descale and the far end )and the door seal and let it work for about 5 min, after that I dry the door seal and the washer aerate. I don’t dry the tubing of the drawer. It’s about 1 min to 6 min of a routine that my mother thought me and my mom never had mildew or mold in her front load. I myself never had mold or mildew and my door seal looks brand new 🤷‍♀️ Another trick; Using vinegar as a softener or putting borax with the detergent in each load will help the acidity go down and prevent the mold surviving if nothing else work. there is a last trick, but it’s a tad annoying ; investing in a dehumidifier. My mother used one at some point for a old washer (15 y) who kept water down the drum (it was impossible to see but if you where moving the drum you could hear the water moving) ; mold would develop in between wash … in her case she had to pour a good amount of vinegar to prevent mold and let the dehumidifier operate near the door. so yeah a dehumidifier is a last resort if nothing else work because mold need moisture and obscurity and a good ph thrive. It will definitely work for the seal and drum if need be. Omg i wrote a book, I’m sorry 🥲

Yes 😊 I'm glad you said that. I made a updated video since and did do that.

Just wipe your washer dry with a cloth after each wash and leave it open for ventilation run a hot cycle every now and then with a dishwasher tablet and this will never happen

Do you leave the door open after a wash or not? Mould in the drawer is a sure sign you are not

Something else to check is the drain holes at the bottom of the gasket. They can get blocked and hold water in the gasket. A cotton bud or matchstick can help unblock these holes

Start to learn how to use a washing machine, because you guys doesn't know, that way mould and nasty stuff appear! Use hot and extra hot if you got, buy a machine that have a heating element inside for reaching the right temperature, and use at least once a week s extra hot or hot washing towels whites beddings with powder detergent and oxygen additive, some times do a rinse with clorine bleach, and once every 2 months do a tub cleaning cycle with 200ml of citric acid! Your machine will last 20 years and will stay very clean like new! For dark clothes you can use liquid for dark and cold but at least once a week an hot cycle with power for removing the nasty liquid detergent that build up inside with the bacteria of the clothes! Also the door and the detergent drawer need to be allways open when not used! Remember extra hot hot water, hot like you 😍😛😘

I didn’t delude the vinegar. It’s ok as long as it is white vinegar. Cider vinegar can be used too but would need to be deluded, the acidity is stronger. After you’re done, run your washer through self clean. It’ll be like new

I have been closing my dispenser and realizing why i was getting mold because I'm closing it. These new and improved W/H come with new instructions lol

How do you reach up in the innermost ring of the rubber gasket to clean off the mold there? That part of the rubber gasket is pushed tight against the drum that there is no way for me to reach up there. Thanks

I put vinegar in a spray bottle and get it that way. If you can pull on the edge, even the tiniest bit and spray, the vinegar will run down in there. You don’t need to scrub it, the vinegar will kill the mold. Let me know how it goes.

I add the soap directly into the wash avoiding the cleaning of thous trays/ Then lastly I never had to mess with that drain on the bottom. My side loader is on the ground so no bucket can even be placed there... Now I will be hand drying the gasket after each use, pulling the soap trays out weekly to dry and draining onto towels every month to avoid anything growing and setting up shop.

Thank you for you message 🙂 I believe vinegar would be the best disinfectant as far as a green product goes. You’re right, Mrs. Meyers doesn’t claim to be a disinfectant but one of the ingredients in Mrs. Meyers is methyl 2-sulfolaurate which is a soap. Soaps are either ionic or nonionic, with the ionic ones being more efficient and the nonionic ones easier on the skin. That’s their “natural like” disinfectant. But to be most certain, vinegar will always do the trick which is most likely what I’ll be using here on to be 100%
