Although the rubber appears to be clean, inside it is a nest of bacteria, probably black in color, which gives off a very bad odor.<\/p>\n<p>The design of the front loading washing machine is the problem, having airtight doors that are sealed with a rubber gasket is what creates that bad smell. The gaps between the machine and the rubber trap all kinds of <strong>fungus<\/strong>, <strong>mold <\/strong>and <strong>bacteria<\/strong>. Although the <strong>front loading washing machines<\/strong> Are better than <strong>top loading ones<\/strong>, since the top loading ones sometimes dry out the tank in the middle of washing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How do I remove mold and mildew from rubber?<\/h2>\n<p>If we want to have the <strong>washing machine always clean<\/strong>, you just have to follow this little <strong>advice list<\/strong> that will help you completely clean the rubber&nbsp;<strong>mold<\/strong>, <strong>fungus <\/strong>and <strong>Bad smell.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Clean the gasket&nbsp;<\/strong>Using a cloth or towel, we clean the rubber of the washing machine using a little hot soapy water and bleach or a little <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.es\/Antimoho-eliminador-limpiador-algas-GRATIS\/dp\/B01G1VTB1A\/&amp;tag=cmvr0d-21\">mold cleaner<\/a>. You should lift the rubber a little to clean it well on all sides.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remove detergent dispensers<\/strong> and give them a good scrubbing, although be careful, many washing machines do not allow those drawers to be removed so we will have to clean it from there.<\/li>\n<li><strong>With the washing machine empty<\/strong> At the longest water setting and highest temperature (90\u00ba) we add <strong>1 cup of bleach, 1 cup of baking soda and half a cup of powdered enzymatic dishwasher detergent.<\/strong> With this we will make the smell disappear and the rubber in the drum will be cleaned.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The latter will clean the drum and the rubber remains that we have with a little mold and will also help to make the washing machine look like new. If the bad smell does not go away, we will have to call a technician to look inside the washing machine.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The drum can also be the cause of our bad smell. \" src=\"\/media\/upload\/2018\/11\/24\/washing-machine-943365_960_720.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"washing machine drum\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Should I change fabric softener or detergent?<\/h2>\n<p>Although it is not the basis of our problem, the <strong>detergents that create a lot of suds<\/strong> or the <strong>liquid fabric softeners<\/strong> They usually leave a lot <strong>residue on rubber<\/strong> of the washing machine.
