Cleaning mould from washing machine

Question

My washing machine keeps getting black mould. What's best for cleaning this and preventing it coming back?

Katie · Answer

Normally you would want to use the cleaning agent Sodium Hypochlorite. I would usually dilute it out considerably as in 1 cap full for a small/medium bucket of water. For a washing machine, then I would check the manufacturer's handbook. I suspect you may need to add a chlorine based cleaning agent, in some form, to several runs on high rinse, quick wash. Otherwise, it may mean having to remove each component and manually scrubbing the mould away by hand. I hope this helps.

Putting a dishwasher tablet in the actual drum ov the machine, putting it on a cycle when cycle has finished you will find it has loosed all the mould, then wipe with blue roll.
After that put on a wash with washing powder, before using for your routine washes.

Do not use bleach as this releases a toxic chemical. Clean mould with White vinegar and follow up with any normal disinfectant. As for keeping it away i'd try wiping it dry and leaving the door and detergent pod open after each use to dry out.

I understand how frustrating it can be to deal with black mold in your washing machine. To clean it, you can try using a mixture of white vinegar and baking soda. Run an empty cycle with hot water and add the vinegar and baking soda to the detergent dispenser. This can help remove the mold and eliminate any unpleasant odors. To prevent it from coming back, make sure to leave the washing machine door open after each use to allow it to dry properly. Also, regularly clean the rubber seal and detergent dispenser to remove any buildup. Hope this helps! 🌟🧺

you can use a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar or bleach. Run a hot water cycle with the solution, then scrub any remaining mold with a brush or sponge. To prevent mold from coming back, regularly clean the detergent dispenser, door seal, and rubber gasket, and leave the door open after each use to allow the machine to dry completely. You can also use washing machine cleaner tablets regularly to keep mold at bay.

Run the wash cycle on the hottest setting with a cup of bleach or vinegar.  You can pour the vinegar into the detergent slot and the bleach into the bleach compartment
