I admit. I was drawn to the sleek and sexy look of the front-loading washing machines when they first came out. But but energy efficient, eco-friendly, sexy machine started to become a nightmare. My clothes started to smell like mold and mildew. After exhaustive research I found out what the problem was. And I came up with this solution how to clean it and prevent more problems.

Creativeme on May 24, 2016Along with the above, some front loaders have a dirt screen. Mine has it at the front of the washer located near the floor. This grabs a lot of hair and other items, plus the water from the tubing which drains this area is quite dirty. It needs to be cleaned at least once a month or during a full day of washing. I no longer have the smell we talk about and changing detergent seemed to make a clean, all the time washer. Can't remember what I was using when it was new, but the smell has never come back and do not need to keep the door open.
