Let’s be honest — nobody wants to open their washing machine and get hit with a stench that feels like it came from a swamp.
If your washer smells like something died in there, you're probably not alone... and it’s not your detergent’s fault.
Spoiler alert: you're probably growing mold in there like it’s your side hustle.
But don't worry — Five Brothers Appliance has your back with this ultimate guide to cleaning, choosing, and maintaining your washing machine.
Hidden Mold: The Nasty Truth Behind Washer Odors
That funky smell? It’s likely mold hiding in the rubber gasket of your front-load washer. This often-overlooked area becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, especially if you shut the door tight after each wash.
🧼 How to Clean Mold from Your Washer Like a Pro
Here’s a step-by-step fix to make your washer smell fresh again:
Pour some Clorox (or any bleach gel cleaner) into a container.
Soak paper towels in the gel — piece by piece.
Tuck each paper towel deep inside the rubber gasket.
Add extra gel on top for a double dose of mold-busting magic.
Let it sit for two hours.
Open the washer and boom — mold gone, fresh scent unlocked.
🧽 This simple cleaning hack can save you from future repairs and complaints from your neighbors… or the CDC.
