  Cleaning mildew

  Posted by ivona_n on August 1, 2023 at 2:11 am

  Hi,

   

  I recently realized I’ve been putting in wet clothes and towels in the washing machine instead of the laundry basket and letting it sit for a week in there until the laundry gets full. What should I do to clean it out? I’ve read vinegar and baking soda or borax. I’ve been doing this for a couple months now, leaving wet clothes in there and having the lid closed. What should I do with the clothes that have been cycled in the washing machine now? There has for sure got to be mold growing in there by this point, can’t tell for sure though. It does smell a little musty.

  Hi  – there are many different solutions for cleaning out your washing machine and clothes like ammonia, Ec3, Citri-Safe, borax, baking soda, etc.

  Don’t forget to manually clean the inside flap of the washing machine if it’s a front-load washer. Those usually accumulate ALOT of gunk. You can spray vinegar directly on it and wipe it clean. It should be cleaned at least 1 x / month. And never close the door of the washing machine as that will create moisture and mold.

  Here’s an excellent write-up with the different products to use in a 3-wash cycle and reasons why each products are used in each cycle so you can determine what you may need.
