Mold problems in washing machines are very common, especially when you don’t clean the machine properly or use it the right way. Over time, your washing machine will accumulate water behind the seals, retain residual moisture, and accumulate detergent residue in some parts of the unit; thereby creating the perfect conditions for mold to grow. Washing machine mold can shorten the lifespan of your washer, discolor your clothes, and even make you sick. If you’re struggling to get rid of mold from your washer, you’ve come to the right place.
In this article, we will explain how to eliminate mold from your washing machine.
Here’s what you can do to remove mold from washing machines.
One of the main causes of mold in washing machines is using the wrong type of detergent or using too much of it. Using the wrong detergent leaves suds that promote the growth of mold on your washer and lead to foul smells. It’s advisable to use high-efficiency detergents with high-efficiency washing machines to prevent this problem.
Leaving a damp washing machine closed is a sure way to promote mold growth and foul smells. That’s why it’s advisable to leave your washer’s lid or door open after running it to allow the interior to dry completely. You should also remove the detergent drawer and let it dry after every load of wash.
Excess moisture in your laundry room creates the perfect conditions for mold to grow in your washing machine. If your laundry room is humid, use a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture from the air.
Leaving wet clothes in the washer overnight contributes to moisture buildup inside the unit. Ensure you remove wet clothes from the washer when the washing cycle is complete.
Your washing machine will accumulate dirt and buildup if you don’t clean it regularly. To prevent the growth of mold, ensure you clean all those hidden areas where residue is likely to accumulate. Ensure you remove the detergent dispensers and scrub them properly. The door gasket should be cleaned at least once a week to remove detergent residue. Spray soapy water on the gasket and use a rag or towel to wipe it clean. Remember to clean the door deal as well.
You can prevent washing machine mold by running a hot water wash with no clothes on a regular basis.
