Honestly just to see someone stumbling around trying random shite...why would anyone subscribe? If you don't know what you're doing why put a video out?
I just picked up a second hand washing machine that I intended to use. Mould on the door seal of course. I mixed up soda crystals and bleach to toothpaste consistency. Applied liberally, left it for 15 mins. Cleaned off with sponge, done it again and the seal was like new. Not a single spore of black mould. Cheap as chips, and the whole process was less than an hour but mainly waiting, no scrubbing what so ever!
Thanks for sharing the method that worked for you. I guess it all depends on how bad the mold is.
Que es cristal de refresco?

@DyoSurfAndRide about how much baking soda and how much bleach did you use if you don't mind🤔
@@iceman100685 I didn’t use too much really. If i have to guess maybe 100-200ml
I like that you kept trying to find a solution! great job!
No problem!
Wow, we’ve had our Whirlpool front loader for 8 yrs now and from time to time I have wiped inside that seal. We’ve always left our washers open as far as I can remember as a child. Never had a smell or mold problem whatsoever either on top or front loaders. It definitely makes 100% difference to get into the habit of just leaving the door open 100% of the time when not in use.
You're absolutely correct. When the moisture is trapped, its got no where to go!
excellent
I leave the draw slightly open as well to prevent mould growing in the draw compartment. When we used to leave it closed, we had a problem with mould growing in the top of the draw compartment blocking the water jets and had to regularly clean it with a steamer.
As well as leaving the door open, I also use a washing powder that contains oxygen bleach, which is a highly effective microbiocide. When I stripped my machine down to change the bearings after 10 years use, I didn't find any mould or bacterial grime on the inside, it was nice and clean and smell free. The only issue was a few areas with limescale deposits from not descaling it for well over a year.
I suspect the same measures also helped to prevent the aluminium alloy spider in my machine from corroding.
@@mels8966eight years in and my door seal looks brand new. Wipe it down after every wash and leave that door open for ten hours at least. It really is that simple
They even make a thing that props it open! We got one and it makes it really easy to remember so we don't accidentally close it before it dries
Just tried out your solution, the Sugelary, and YES! It works like a charm!!! Many thanks! Just saved $300 on a new gasket!
No problem. Glad it fixed your problem and saved you money!
Just ordered it, can't wait to try it
It would be nice if these washers had a "dry drum" button that you can press after you take the clothes out.
Well, with the amount of years front loaders have been around and no sign of that innovation on the horizon. They would probably rather sales from replacing the entire gasket to continue happening. 😄
You can get at least one US model with a fan in it so you don't have to leave the door open - I think it is called Ultra fresh.
Also some uk washer dryers (which I wouldn't consider buying) run their fan after a wash if you do a wash without the drying cycle, although possibly that's to stop the aluminium fan corroding.
GE ultrafresh, got microban seals as well, but I bet the button is still no as effective as leaving the door and draw open! 😀 ua-cam.com/video/sNaNh8MC_3M/v-deo.html
That’s not gonna happen. They want us to replace our machines instead of maintaining them. Disgusting really.
The GE GFW series *literally has had that exact feature since 2016* and it works very well! In fact, rumor has it, the development of that UltraFresh vent us what ultimately led to the GE combo washer dryer with heat pump drying. That being said, you can absolutely, 100000% never have to deal with mold if you leave the door cracked and use appropriate amounts of powder detergent.
Closed the door, eh? When I bought mine, 8 years ago, the appliance man told me never leave it closed. Leave the dispenser open, as well. My hero! I wrapped a roll of paper towels with a red bandana, my laundry room accent color, and gently wedge it under to keep the door open just a bit. It’s as clean as when I bought it.
Well, you had a great salesman! Leaving both dispenser and door open are priceless tidbits that everyone should know about to help maintain a clean machine. 😊
I tried the Sugelary and it worked just as you described. I also bought the Active Machine Cleaner to keep my machine clean. Thank you for all the great suggestions!! 😊
You're welcome!
Thanks for reviewing these products. Now, I know what to do to get rid of the mold inside my washing machine.
Thank you so much. Just moved into a new apartment & the washer is DISGUSTING. I can't believe people don't know or care to clean it 😕 will be trying this out ASAP. Thanks again
I have self cleaning option with my front loader, I always do dark clothes first then white clothes with bleach and I’ve never had mold. It helps if you live in the desert Southwest where the humidity is never over 15% except maybe a few weeks in August, always keep the door a few inches open
Thanks for sharing!
Never ever had this problem but a lot of my friends have it.
Just clean it regularly, empty cycle for 90 degrees from time to time, and leaving door open after each using is enough to avoid this problem.
Also rinsing drawer is enough to avoid mould there.
Looks like you got it. Air flow and regular cleaning will do the trick!
Results seem amazing so I bought it and now Im trying. Should I keep the loader door open while Im waiting for overnight?
Open or closed, it shouldn't make a difference.
Great video! Thanks for posting. Never heard of Sugelary till now. The better mold cleaner products have higher concentrations of sodium hypochlorite. Another fantastic mold cleaner/killer is RMR 86 Pro.
Great tip! Thank you!
We have a really bad mold problem. Replaced the gasket, a few months later got moldy again. Followed all the advice, kept door open, wiped up loose water etc. etc....
So I assumed the changes you made have resulted in no more mold?
@@btshomedition nope, moldy as ever.
@@linandy1Just get a top load washer and leave the door open all the time. Front load washer has seals that trap wet air. So mold will come back if the front load washer is placed in basement or anywhere humidity level is high. Even if you kill the mold with chemical, some of dead mold is likely to stay. The only way to get rid of mold is chemically and physically removing it. Then let the dry air flows around.
I will try the gel in my washer and bathroom tile grout. I appreciate the multiple methods you showed.
No problem at all!
Don’t close the door after use. I clean mine with vinegar and water every month. Stuff does collect in that space.
Airflow and regular maintenance is the key. Thanks for sharing!
Agree with the vinegar tip 😊
i agree with you i never close the door and end the problem ! i just use vinegar every 2 months !
Yes i always let the door open when im not using it or when it just finished a cicle
Great video. Besides leaving the washer door open so the washer dries out, you should also throw a dry bath towel in washer to help absorb some of the excess water in washer drum.
Great tip!
great video. buying now and will try. I have been trying to find a way, thanks for being the one to try various things.
No problem. 🙂
I’ve been having good luck with a 75/25 mix of 99% isopropyl and distilled water for superficial mold. I have some Zep, so I’ll try it, but then I think I’ll get the residue off with my mix.
Thanks for sharing.
I used shock chemical for pools. I sprinkled the shock all in the rubber gasket. 💯 works. Cheap too
Thanks for sharing. Did you wet it to apply?
I just got the product that worked for you. My mold is a lot worse though we have the exact same washer. I might have three times more mold than you. Let’s hope this product works on that much mold
Ok cool! Just continue with multiple applications until it's gone. Leaving the door open has been a lifesaver. Haven't seen anymore come back since then.
"I'm gonna try everything but scrubbing that shit" 😂
🤣
Thanks for the video! I moved in 3 months ago and had mold like you demonstrated and I tried bleach soaked into paper towels which did nothing but the gel helped a ton!
Awesome! Glad you were able to get rid of that mold! 🙌🏽
Hey thanks so much for the video. Just wondering what is the ingredients in the sugelary gel? I'm not in the US, so can't really big it here
You're welcome, here is what I found for the components: Water, Stearic acid, Emulsogen M, Glycerin, Silica, Sodium hydroxide.
I bought the gel product. It worked great. It did require a couple of applications though. Thanks for the tip!!
🤩amazing
Awesome, Great to hear it worked for you! 😊
🙌🏽
Hi what’s the name of the gel that you bought thanks
@@zarpana4695 the link is in the description
Thanks! Can’t wait to try! My washer is disgusting and bleach wasn’t doing the trick! ❤
No problem, hope you get great results!
Same here. Clorox didn't help at all, can't wait to try. Mine is beyond disgusting. It has sooo much mold and mildew. So will have to apply like 10 times.
Thank you for this video! Will order this gel as have tried so many things. Always leave door open but still have mold build up. Most frustrating thing about front loaders. I would buy front loader again though. Hope this works!
Also get a small USB type fan with an indoor timer. Have the fan blow into the open door for about an hour or two. Keep it dry.
It's all about removing all the moisture after using. Thanks for the tips.
like your video but I'd caution everyone to at least understand that ZEP product you demonstrate on that mildew infested gasket at the beginning is basically highly concentrated bleach. I own a commercial laundromat and I wound not use that stuff due to risk of leftover residue and ruining of customers clothes. Bleach is a big no no for my business. Too much can go wrong. At home? I use it. But there's other ways to get rid of that mold. 91% rubbing alcohol works. Odo-Ban will work over time if used consistently. Ammonia works. Bleach is a harsh chemical. I'd be careful.
If you wash out the bleach after soaking, there won't be any issues. Either way, the ZEP didn't remove the mold so most people will not be using that product to solve their problems. 😁
Interesting so IPA is also a possibility
@@btshomedition Most important thing you said was leave that door OPEN! I fight that battle every day. Also leave that top detergent area dispenser door OPEN when the machine is not in use. I don't blame customers (it's natural to want to close these doors) but its the main culprit to bacteria growth. Doesn't take very long to occur either. It's a daily fight.
Absolutely brilliant video, thanks for persevering til you found a solution, well done 👏👏👏
Thanks and no problem! 😀
I always leave the door open instead of closing it tightly when the washer is not in use, I've never had mold in my washer. Regular cleaning and running it on the "clean washer" cycle once a month keeps it clean, I also quit using liquid fabric softener because it gums up the working parts.
You sure we have to give up on liquid soaps? Because as I've read somewhere liquid detergents are best for cloths in front loads being soft on cloths! Even our LG washer manual suggested not to use liquid detergent. I've a couple of bottles of liquid detergents- about 2 litres now. I'll buy powder ones. But when I used powders, the smell was really strong from washer though. Very confusing. I've heard extra detergent (powder) leaves more mould.
Thanks for sharing! So you don't use any fabric softener at all?
Thank you for all the demonstrations 🥹
You are so welcome!
I leave the door open after washing. I also have a ceiling fan in my laundry room and I pull out the dispenser drawer and let that dry. It doesn’t take long for either to dry out.
Great tips, thanks for sharing!
well you're supposed to ALWAYS let the door open on the front loading machines, this is why I love and always buy LG appliances because they have a magnet on the door opening to keep the door open when you don't use it so it'll bring air in and not build the mold and mildew up.
That's great information, thanks for sharing!
I have an LG front load washer and not noticed any magnet on the door. I leave mine wide open.
@@johndoe-vc1we well some of the older models dont have it so yeah.
@@officialnotonlyjames mine is from 2015. Works great still. LG fan here when it comes to front loaders 😊
I saw one video of a appliance tech piutting pool shock it still in powder form in the door gasket and allow it to sit/absorb to help clean the mold and kill it so it sanitizes it then removes and wipe clean. THOUGHTS?
I have also came across mentions of pool shock. I do think that would probably work well if you needed to remove the gasket for treatment but I will have to give the pool shock a try one day. 😃
What's better if we consider mould build up- liquid or powder detergent?
The mold is mostly due to condensation but I'll have to do some research to see if one is better than the other.
Love this video idea! I can't wait to watch more!
Not to be a killjoy but doesn't this mean the entire interior of the gasket, where you can't reach, is contaminated with mold as well?
I don't doubt the Sugelary gel works but I would sure appreciate seeing an SDS for the product. I was surprised I could not find one online.
Thank you for the video. It's a step forward for sure. I've been using the same tablets you tried, in fact two at a time. I'll attest they don't remove the mold.
Hi, nice of you to ask, I've been assembling my new gazebo, but it keeps raining so it's taking a while. I can't wait to be finished, cause then I'll be able to put my new smoker together. Can't wait to make some ribs and brisket!!! Besides that, my kids are visiting the grandparents for the whole week so my wife and I have the whole house to ourselves, which is pretty cool, but I still miss the kids. Oh, and my Santa Fe's engine blew out last week, and we need a new car. So that's fun! DON'T BUY A HYUNDAI, people! 😉
I did try the same tablets and i confirm its do nothing. Ill try the Sugelary mold cleaner...thanks
You're welcome!
My front load washer has a magnetic device to keep door open but even that's closed too much and still smells the next day so i just keep the door wide open along with the detergent compartment after every load and just everyday in general. Even after a few days or even a week without doing laundry, you'd think it's dry enough to close the door but nope! It still smells if you close the washer door at anytime so mine stays open all the time when not in use.
Thanks for sharing. Since I fixed this issue, I leave the door open unless it is being used. 😎
Well done 👏🏼 👍🏼
And thank you 🏴🇬🇧
You're welcome!
Did you try vinegar and baking soda?
Oh , you finally discovered gloves amazing.
Yes, thanks
After applying the gel..how do we clean it? Wipe it or run a cycle?
You can wipe it then run a cycle after.
Basically you have to wipe down after each wash cycle?
Correct. Moisture that cannot evaporate = mold. Airflow or wiping down will prevent this issue.
i've never had mold in my top load washer but i always leave lid open so it can dry inside. wouldn't it be easier to simply leave the door open when not in use? ... then it can dry naturally between loads??
You are absolutely correct. This has been a great practice that ensures the drum and gasket dry after each use. 😊
Thank you for the video. I will give your tips a try! 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you so much,I think I used everything on my washer.i am ordering it today
Awesome!
Nice video! Progressive solutions.
From my experience, leaving the door wide open works better than cracked open.
Is there a performance difference, other than labeling and price, between the Mold Remover Gel link in the description and the product shown in the video?
Yes, leaving the door all the way open will allow the moisture to dry out better. As far as the product, they are the same.
Door wide open and drawer pulled out creates a draft
Thank you Sir. Presently this gel is not available in India. But I try to get through someone coming from US.
Awesome. Glad I was able to share some good info. 😊
@@btshomedition definitely yes
Did the mold disappear overnight by itself after apply that gel? Or did you whipped it ?
The mold disappeared after using the gel a few times.
I think he whipped it but he did not show the whip 😅
I Qasim just cleaning my out and ran across your video. I'm glad you got it out. I seen another video where the guy used pool shock and bleach so that might be a cheaper option.
Awesome. I will keep that in mind!
I got that active washing machine cleaner and it failed me too.
Hello! I just purchased the gel mold remover. Do you run a hot cycle once the product has been left overnight or are you just wiping it away?
After wiping it off, it surely wouldn't hurt to run a hot cycle. Did the mold go away after leaving it overnight?
Look in the inner lip, how does it look
Hi everyone!I still using my Washing machine already 27years and don't have this a problem . Always, after an using i clear her, always and don't have a problem 😊!
27 years! Wow, that's a trooper machine!
@@btshomedition Absolutely!I changed the electrical brushes, only!"Fagor"from 1996!
But you didn’t show the very inside lip!! How did that turn out!? I was on the edge of my seat and then you ended without showing the very inside like you did on the other products.😩 I want to order, but feeling cheated…lol…
Lol. As long as you smear the gel on the mold, it's gone for good. The door is now left open after washes and the mold has not come back. Maybe I will do a follow-up video and show everything. 😁
Is this mold hazardous for health?
That's a good question, I'm not sure.
After emptying the washing machine, I always dry right around the inside of the flange and the rim of the drum with something that is waiting to be washed. It takes less than 30 seconds, and prevents mould building up in the first place.
Oh, and I also leave the door open when the machine is not being used.
Great practice! Thanks for sharing!
I leave the door open whenever the washer is not in use. I also pull the detergent/bleach drawer out after each cycle and pour the water out.
Great tips, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
I did this before but it messed up my clothes, I’m moving into a newer unit but I noticed there’s some junk
When cleaning the gasket, you always have to make sure that all product residue is gone before washing clothes again to avoid any potential damage.
If you take the time to wipe around the door seal after your done washing and leave the door opened the mold will not accumulate
Absolutely. Thanks for sharing. 😊
All you have to do is take an old microfiber cloth and cleaning it with cleaning vinegar. It just takes a little scrubbing. And not being lazy!
Glad I found this video, thank you for the link- can’t wait to try it and get your results. I have tried so many products with poor results.
No problem. Hope it works well for you!
Most ppl thinks their washing machine (or any cleaning device for that matter) works like magic or something.
This is one of the reason why the manufacturer(s) recommend to run a tub clean every 60 or so cycles with bleach/baking soda to prevent escalating issues like mold, bacteria(s) growth, etc…
Nothing fancy, just bleach ought to suffice or vinegar for those green folks.
Granted, you happen to have a horribly designed silicone bellow/seal hence that prob.
Yes, the bellows design definitely contributed to the problem!
It comes down to maintenance. The top loaders are just as discussing but can’t see the crud. Don’t use as much soap!
You're right, maintenance is key!
One word of caution. All bleach and other acidic cleaners are hard on silicone, as well as grout; mortar; cement. silicone may handle a few treatments but grout in tile can be harmed faster.
Thanks for sharing this insight.
Thank u share this great video🎉🙏🏼
You're welcome!
I would love to buy that mold cleaner but we don't have it in the Philippines. 😢
Some had mentioned that you can also use pool shock and bleach. Maybe that is available in the Philippines?
I have had front load washers for 20 years and have never had mold in mine. I do wash my towels with Clorox so it may be the reason why.
Top loaders are less prone to this issue which explain why you probably never experienced this issue.
@@btshomeditionmy statement was about front loaders.
My bad, I don't know why I had top load in my head. Lol. Do you leave the door cracked?
I try too but sometimes we’re just close it but we do have a water softener the has less minerals so calcium and soap scum buildup is less of an issue. I heard that lessens the chances of mold as well.
You're absolutely correct, the quality of the treated water definitely has an impact on how quick mold appears. I will be installing a whole house water filtration system in the future.
🤩amazing
Thanks
Thank you, I’m ordering some of that gel 😊
You’re welcome 😊
@@btshomedition OMG vit’s a miracle! I’ve used it today and it’s like magic. Thank you.
Great video~! Thank you~!!
Thanks. No problem!
Videos are better without background music.
Thanks for the feedback!
@@btshomedition except this background music, which was totally righteous - loved it.
Didn't even notice it till I saw this comment
Much more easy: 2 dishwasher tabs, run the hottest program and all mould and soap residue is gone.
And leave the door and soap dispenser drawer open to let leftover water vaporize.
Also your dryer, never close the door.
When you have a heat pump dryer, also open the door to the heat exchanger and let it dry and remove the dust from the dust filter.
But will the bulb burn out? My dryer light never turns off if the door is open.
@@danibakesmauiii Dryer light?
I have no dryer light…….
@@rvo8915 it probably burnt out from leaving the door open! 😂😂😂
😆
Thanks for sharing. Does this work on old stubborn mold?
Mold and bad smells is a common issue with front load washers, yet they are what most people want and pay big $$$ for. I don’t understand this. Top load washers have been around for over 50 years and don’t have theses issues. They clean just as well if not better and usually are less expensive.
Great point. Depending on the house layout, a stackable pair may be the best option with limited space. Also sometimes the laundry room is right by the garage door so esthetically, it looks better. But as you mentioned from a functional perspective, the top load does the job just fine!
My childhood home has a top loader and even then I grew up with always keeping the lid open. In my current rental, I share a front loader with housemates and they always forget to leave the door open!
@@GoalWalker yup, it’s easy to leave a top loader open as it doesn’t inconveniently stick out into the room. It’s not really necessary, but there’s little downside to doing so.
I saw someone use 50% bleach solution and baking soda paste to remove mold around kitchen sink. I think they do similar thing.
Great tip!
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Sar i want gel my damage washing machine gasket riper
The gel damaged your gasket?
Use Rin Ala, Akshay
Pool shock works with one application.
How did you apply the product?
I never had mould in my front loader I wipe it out especially after washing cat products blankets etc. I just use a wet cloth I leave the door and soap container open Also I take out the soap container wash it and clean where it goes.
Awesome tips, thanks for sharing!
We have more mold?
The key is to let air dry out the bellows after each wash. I have not had this issue since leaving the washer door open.
@@btshomeditionwe wipe it all down with microfibre towels as well as inside the fold and under the fold where the slits are immediately after every wash and leave the door open for hours. Still get black mold.
I stopped using fabric softener and also only use powder, this has made my machine stay cleaner, also do some hot washes now and again.
@@JazzyScatit means your door seal still remains moist. If you run your finger inside the gasket ten hours later is it dry or not
I tried everything..just bought a new boot...wish I would of seen this video before
That was the same thing that happened to me as well. This time, I had to find something.
Only one way to fix problem, I’ve had 3, then I got a top loader.
Lol! Isn't that the truth. I think top loaders are the way to go honestly. Will be doing the same on the next purchase. 😎
What we are going to be doing is leaving the washer door open when no in use
That's a great option for prevention!
I tried cleaining it also. BOSCH 300 SERIES, $29.99 replace the rubber Casket. Takes 30 min to replace it. No screws, no tools needed. No worth cleaning it, when it looks like that! I tried for 2 weeks. Wasted a lot of time
That's a great option depending on what machine you own. In my case, the gasket was about $100 and the time to change it would be closer to 1.5 - 2 hours. So great option for your situation for sure! 😎
Between uses leave the washing machine door open w a fan blowing to dry out the interior. In 10 years never had a problem.
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Also, dry that rubber area after your final wash. Never ever close the door after your wash is finished.
Everyone should stop the cold water washes, use good detergent, and at least one load of items with chlorine bleach a couple of times a week. I've had a FL washer since 1997 (same washer all these years) following the above and have never seen a speck of mold in it.
1997. Wow. That's a strong machine!
I leave the door OPEN after I wash
I have found that leaving the door has definitely been a great preventative solution. 🤓
You need to wipe dry the rubber gasket after each use.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm sure just 50-50 clorox and water would have worked too. What the video brought out is how long any cleaning product needs to be in contact with the seal like a day or more depending how bad and that several applications may be necessary
True Story. If you never let it get this bad, then maintenance is quick and easy. If it gets bad, multiple applications must be done until the problem is fixed!
You need to just take the entire gasket off. It’s not hard. Then soak in hot water with vinegar. Scrub with toothbrush. Let completely dry before reinstalling gasket. Leave door open. With mold that bad, you also need to take the drum apart and clean it also.
I have already replaced this gasket before and it does take a decent amount of work to take off and reinstall. So this is an option to fix the issue but more importantly, stop the issue from ever occurring. For anyone who want to disassemble the unit to soak the gasket, @JenniferAguiartampa has provided a great procedure to take care of your problem. Thanks for sharing. 😃
It's hard for me, I don't have a sink big enough to soak it, and only have a shower, no tub 😒
(maybe my landlord will do it at his place)
So all you need to do is, do exactly as the manufacturer suggested and these problems will most likely never show their moldy faces.
Great point!
Why not just use the tabs, and WIPE the gunk out with a cloth saturated in hydrogen peroxide, bleach etc ?
Because the mold had gone too far already.
best way is to remove the gasket completely,
I already replaced the gasket once. Needed a better and faster way to clear up the mold
How do you do this?? I'm honestly not particularly concerned about the mold stain, but our gasket just gets a build up of slimy grossness, that is tucked in the dark crevices that are impossible to really get to, to clean out thoroughly - drives me NUTS. (DO not understand what these things are not designed to be more easily cleaned...) I would LOVE to be able to just remove the whole gasket and clean it that way.... ?? Thanks!! (PS I always leave the door open - makes it less bad that were it shut, but does not remotely prevent all of this gunk and mold etc from building up.... as you all know) !
@@zabraevalentine4475 it was a nightmare but only because the bolts st the bottom were all rusted. I got the gasket out but it was limed up in addition to being moldy. I soaked it in vinegar and borax but somehow it got a slight rip, and dont know if I should put it back (not an easy job) and risk it leaking ir just buy another one but I cant seem to find my exact size anywhere. Huge hsssle
@@zabraevalentine4475 there are youtube videos showing how to do it
The Titanic was deliberately sunk to get rid of Astor because he was going to try and end the newly established Federal Reserve which has been a disaster
WELL, YOU MANAGED TO REMOVE THE MOLD, BUT IT'Ll COME BACK. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS YOUR WASHING MACHINE DOESN'T HEAT. OR YOU ONLY USE LOW TEMPERATURES, ONCE A WEEK YOU HAVE TO USE 90 C.
Leaving the door open has solved the issue in my case.
@@btshomedition but also should check if the washing machine heats up. it is easiest for you to turn on the machine at 90c and wait 30-40 min. then you put your hand on the door glass and if it's hot, then it's fine.
