I have a washer and dryer I just purchased from a good friend. They're both very clean and don't have a lot of use. But the washer has a removable fabric softener "bowl" that fits in the middle of the agitator.
To make a long story short the bowl/cup that's removable had about 1/8th of a inch of softener buildup, along with the bottom of the agitator tower. Nothing seems to cut this stuff. It's like wheel bearing grease.
Help?

When I bought my new washer about 3 years ago I decided not to gunk it up with all those softener concoctions. I use white vinegar in both my wash cycle to replace bleach and I put it in the softener thingy in the middle of my agitator for the best softener ever.
Mine was gooped up and gross too. I used a butter knife to scrape off the worst of it then wiped out the basket and machine with pieces of a dry towel until it was reasonably clean. Don't use a wet cloth to wipe because everything becomes slimy. I finished the cleaning job with an old toothbrush to get into the edges, again making sure that the brush was dry at all times. Every few months now I clean the reservoir and machine to prevent another accumulation like I had. Hope this works for you.
