Steps to Clean Washing Machine Drum:
Use Baking Soda and Dish Soap:Mix baking soda with dish soap and a little water to create a paste. Apply the paste to the moldy areas inside the drum and on the rubber gasket.
Scrub the Mold:
Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to scrub away the mold gently. Focus on tight spots and the folds of the rubber gasket.
Rinse Thoroughly:Wipe down the cleaned areas with a damp cloth to remove residue. Run an empty cycle with hot water to flush out any remaining solution.
Dry Completely:
After cleaning, leave the door open to let the drum and gasket dry completely. This prevents future mold growth.
Prevent Mold in the Future:After every wash, wipe the drum and gasket dry. Keep the door open for ventilation when not in use.
