Helloo! As a front load washer owner, I've found that developing a regular cleaning routine is crucial for keeping mildew smell. After each use, I make sure to wipe down the door seal, detergent dispenser, and drum to remove any moisture and detergent residue😉

I make it a habit to leave the washer door and detergent drawer open between loads to allow air circulation and prevent moisture buildup – this helps to deter mildew growth.

Hello! I struggled with that mildew smell in my front load washer for a while until I discovered the power of citric acid. I dissolved a couple of tablespoons of citric acid powder in hot water and poured it into the detergent dispenser. Then, I ran a hot water cycle without any clothes. The citric acid helped break down any lingering mildew and left my washer smelling fresh and clean.
