Tip & How-To about Miscellaneous
This is what I do to prevent the growth of mould around the inside door of Front Load washing machines and around the detergent dispensing tray.
Step 1 :- remove excess mould off the inside door and surrounds ( I used a kitchen top cream cleanser - Jiff).
Step 2 :- adding 3 - 5 ml's of Dettol into the fabric softener dispensing tray on every 3rd wash, you my need to juggle the frequency to get the desired result. Yes the cloths will have a slight smell of Dettol when they are wet but this will be almost indistinguishable when they are dry!
Note:- The Dettol also acts to prevent the remnants of the water left in the machine (that do not get pumped out) from becoming a little smelly - if the gaps between washing become extended i.e. - going away on holidays. I believe it would also help to sterilise items like hankies during the cold winter months. Cheers :-)
Saturate an old cloth with white vinegar. Alternatively, you might use petroleum jelly on the cloth to remove the mold.Pull the gasket out gently with your hands to reveal the mold and mildew buildup inside the folds of the gasket.Wipe the mold away from the gasket with the cloth. Continue working to wipe away all mold from the folds of the rubber gasket.Dry the folds of the gasket with a dry cloth when you finish removing the mold.Repeat this procedure at least once per month to prevent mold and mildew from forming. If you notice mold occurring more frequently, clean it off when you see it.
