Built-in Washing Machine help!

odds-n-sods

FOr all you folks that have a built-in WM, how do you keep it mould free?? Ours has gone all mouldy on the seal; we do wipe it out. Gonna take off the cupboard door this AM and then bleach the mould away (hopefully) but dont' want it to return, any ideas?? We use ecover soap.

Always leave the door and the drawer open for a couple of hours after use , seems to keep mine mould free....

Hi odds,

This older thread might help:

how to clean mildewy rim on washing machine?

I'll merge your thread with that one later as it helps to keep all the suggestions together.

With our built in dishwasher we always leave it open a crack when not in use...seems to prevent mould etc.

thanks, pink, read those. Have done the vinegar hot wash, no change; problem with leaving the door open in this kitchen (galley style) is that then you can't get by to do things; will be taking the cupboard door off soon; that will give me a littel more room. Once this one goes, I am going to get the wm plumbed into the outbuilding!
