Mouldy drawers

2 replies

I've just taken out the drawers to my washing machine - the bit you put the powder and conditioner in. They are going mouldy Shock

I've tried to clean them - but it's proving tricky. Any hints or tips on what I should do - and should I be doing anything to prevent it?

Mine does this, so every time I finish a wash, I take the dispenser out, rinse it and let it dry. Then leave it open in the machine. You can try a washing machine cleaner, but just soaking it for the first time should do the trick.

it is normal and you just have to clean them regularly

I use an old toothbrush and a cloth or sponge to clean the drawer in the sink. I use bleach spray on the roof of the bit the drawer goes into and scrub with a toothbrush and then wipe with a cloth.
