Ok 👍 I’m proud of this!

Our washer was moldy and gross. Many suggested tearing apart the machine and soaking the rubber liner. Buying expensive CLR and scrubbing.

I simply soaked paper towels in bleach - packed liner and layered wet paper towels over mold. I let it sit for 24 hours.

It worked perfectly.

Andrea, here is another good tip. When you pull the Landry detergent tray out, look at inside with a flash light at the ceiling of the tray slot and you will find tons of mold and mildew in there. Took me about 2 hours to clean it when I first discovered it. Nobody ever bothers to look at the ceiling they normally just look down the detergent reservoir well.

Thank you. Pay all that money for LG Front Loader. Never have I in 50yrs of laundry. Has maintaining a washmachine been such a hassle. Hate the dang front loader

[leilaandrade]

As a Field Service Tech leave your door open once you’re done washing along with the soap dish. Fresh circulating air is best. A small fan propped in front of it does wonders too

I always leave my door & liquid/softner compartment ajar too & it definitely works!! …I also have 2 indoor cats & a man who has a greasy job so once every couple of weeks or so, I throw 1 old towel in there, I put a 100% natural “floor cleaner” (basically it’s just Eucalyptus Oil, purified water & a plant based suctifant) into the liquid compartment & prewash compartment (my machines manual taught me this) & then I run a full cycle WITH prewash & extra rinse on the hottest setting (mine goes to 90°C) & the inside, pipes ect clean themselves!! Throwing a old towel in there helps a lot cause the towel material kind of scrubs the inside of the barrel (mines a front loader BTW), plus although my manual says you can do it without a towel, personally I always grew up being told if you run a machine with absolutely nothing in it, it’s no good for the machine. Unsure if that’s true these days but the towel really helps scrub that barrel clean & the Eucalyptus based natural floor cleaner along with it being on the hottest setting (much more gentle but more effective than bleach in my experience, the brand I use is Earth for anyone interested), really just erases the fortnight’s worth of grease from uniforms & flushes any cat hair caught up through…

There’s also a “coin trap” you can pull out & clean. It’s behind that little circle cut out along the bottom front of most machines. Sometimes it’s hidden behind a long panel. Not only does it catch things that fall between the seals she’s showing in this video, but you’d be shook how much pet hair, human hair, threads, buttons & so forth get caught up in there too!!

That’s my 2 cents worth anyway & my positive experiences. I actually learned much of it from the manual. 1st machine I think I’ve ever read the manual of & it was full of bright ideas. I regret I didn’t know with previous machines. 😅😅

I remember the days when my parents had a top washer for 20 yrs and never smelled or required regular maintenance.

[lupitaflores]

I will be trying this! I've been trying to get the smell put of my front loader for a year now. I appreciate the advice!

[benniepierce]

I just went and checked my front loader and you are right except mine didn´t smell probably because I always leave the door open so it dries out but then I got EXCITED because I found a key I recently lost AND money inside the rubber door gasket you cleaned!!! It pays to clean this area!! asinfo on another video of yours, I already clean the toilet tank but I see I need to be more thorough with the toilet

[perettelear]

Thank you for the video! I cleaned mine with hot water about a month ago and was so grossed out! (I’ve never had any issues with my old top loader). I leave the front door open and it helps. But I’ll start using vinegar or bleach next time. Take care.

[frankamdur]

Thank you for your guidance and advice I have never thought of cleaning the washing machine or the rubber sealer‘s in the front.

[PaolaVenegas-jzfd]

Thanks for getting right to the point!

[sandyhossman]

Thank you, I don't do it every time. I keep my door open. I have a high tech dishwasher also and I never lock the door between washes. It will stink too.

[peggybaggenstoss]

I use vinegar as a softener. I’ve noticed the mold is no longer noticeable on the gasket. Every few weeks I remove the laundry tray and clean with bleach.

[melindabrown]

Dumb question-what kind of Vinegar? What about using Clorox or Lysol wipes!! Great video!

[RetrieverTrainingAlone]

Start by removing and cleaning the drain filter at the bottom of the machine which is typically clogged with gunk!

[jbar_]

I read my cleaning instructions from LG about how to keep it clean. I do exactly what your mom does too lol! It’s only a few months opened. I leave my door opened atleast 12 hours before I put it to nearly closed and it is open with the little thingy that keeps it opened a crack.

[dianac.]

needed video. thanks. my roomate has a front load washer. known for getting mold on the rubber ring washer also. tried bleach &all kinds of things. it hasnt taken it off. they can be replaced but id rather clean it. i clean out the barrel with a cleaner &water after each 2 loads. smells good.

[jbar_]

I also set up a monthly reminder for the monthly cleaning and just use bleach and press go and boy did it really get foamy and it seemed so clean afterwards.

[weshouldsaveourselves]

White vinegar unfortunately can actually corrode rubber parts in washing machines so it's best not to use that. Instead you can use a laundry disinfectant and cleaner and use a hot cycle.

[teresas.]

If you just leave the doors open over night that alone will prevent the smell. Hubby didn't listen to me when we first got ours and the smell started. I cleaned it and we did this several more times before he believed me and left the stupid doors open. Now almost ten years later, our washer doesn't have a smell and we do a monthly bleach or vinegar cleaning to keep the build up down.
