Hi, Mildred,
In addition to Lynn's excellent advice, check your manual. Many newer front load washers strongly advise against using fabric softeners which create a film buildup on drum of washer/dryer.
Open the detergent drawer and clean it out, removing insert piece, if applicable. Leave this drzwer open between uses, as well as propping washer door open at least 6-8" or more.
I dry all gaskets after laundering.
Thanks much for the advice, I will be trying all of them, thanks again.
Vinegar is good for clothes but a word of warning....used it in my dishwasher in the jet dry compartment....within a year the seals and hoses were leaking....repair man said the vinegar "ate" them up. My manual for my new dishwasher says to run an empty load on normal and hot temperature every six weeks with two cups of vinegar in a container on the top shelf. Also to not use vinegar any oftener.
Hi Mildred - There are several ways to get rid of mold, but most importantly, you need to address the root cause to keep it from returning. This article focuses on the bathroom, but is an overall great article that covers methods of how to remove mold, if bleach is safe to use, and how to prevent it from coming back. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly
