I use 1/4 cup of white vinegar in place of fabric softener.(This is better for the filter in the dryer too.) It removes all soap, softens, and leaves NO vinegar...or any other smell. I never leave the door to the washer closed. Keep it open.
I LOVE my front loader. It is MUCH more economical than the top loaders I’ve had.... and does a better job on the clothes. I’ve had it for a little over 4 years now. Good clean clothes, using less water...and NO mold!
My mother in law used to do that I forgot that
Thanks
Thank you! Great tip.
But leaving the door open can be inviting to those little mammals called bats — it happened once.
Great idea. So, you just put the vinegar in the compartment where the liquid fabric softener is supposed to go? Hmmm, I will have to try that. Thanks.
I also use vinegar. I wash and dry the door and gasket and check the rubber inside at the bottom occasionally.
I use Oxy-Clean every wash.
One can run bleach through each month which cleans and eliminate odors or use those expensive cleaning tablets.
I love my quiet front loader that really cleans with much less water.
A draw back... one won’t be able to ‘fix’ these washers like the old ones.
My old top washer was fixed so many times it paid for itself 10 times over.
