Mold In a Washing Machine's Detergent Dispenser

By Dan (Guest Post)

Buy a new dispenser. They cost all of $5 and are commonly available. Much better than trying to clean an old, neglected plastic part.

My whole house smells like a basement and it's drivng us crazy! I've tried Whirlpool's Affresh (3 times) with no luck! I tried Washer Genie and Washer Magic with no luck!
Does anyone know a washing machine cleaner the will remove the fungus smell? P.S. I've already tried bleach, baking soda, vinegar and even salt! I'm ready to get rid of a $1000 machine because my eyes water when I open the door! What causes this odor?

When you're getting ready to wash a load of whites that can be bleached, add 1/2 cup cascade crystals and 1/4 cup bleach into the detergent compartment. This should take care of it! This is one of my most favorite recipes for cleaning!
