How do you get mildew out of your washing machine?

Put it on the longest and hottest wash (90 degrees about), probably wash 1 or 2 cycle, but empty with some washing detergent and fabric softener(to make it smell better).How do you get mildew out of your washing machine?
Run a heavy cycle (no clothes) of hot water with a couple of cups of bleach. That will kill everything in its wake.How do you get mildew out of your washing machine?
with disinfectant
I'm guessing that bleach would do it.





Run a wash with no clothes in it with hot water and a mild bleach solution, then do a full rinse and that orta do it.
Well thats easy: Wipe out with a cloth soaked in an anti-fungal solution such as undiluted vineagar which you can get from your local chippie mixed with some thick bleach leave for 30 minutes then run the machine at hotest temp but with no clothes When you have completed this get an old towel and place in the machine add your soap powder in the slot and also fill up the compartment that you would normally put your fabric softener in with some more of the undiluted vinegar/thick bleach solution Run a hot cycle When all this is done all will be well again Please remember to wear rubber gloves when using the solutions and always leave the machine door ajar when not in use and this will stop the problem arising again
Run an empty load with bleach only.
Pour in a washing soda solution then set on a hot wash and go.
I agree with doing a hot only wash, however I would add vinegar which is a natural anti-fungal and a good cleaner. Washing soda (sodium carbonate, which is different to bi-carbonate of soda - don't use washing soda in cooking!!!) soda can also be added as it is a natural bleach and also softener. That should help to rid the smell.





You could also try adding some tea tree oil to get rid of the smell.





I hope someone's idea works for you!

With white wine vinegar and bleach , run the machine on the highest setting you have once with bleach and once with the vinegar
clean it with a wet cloth or something like that
Try using a cup of bleach a run it through a reg. wash cycle! You could try letting the water with bleach set for an hour or two before draining!


Good Luck!
I used bleach in a hot cycle with nothing in it. But call your manufacturer to see if they can help. I had the same problem and I had a Maytag Neptune. They had to come replace the whole boot to stop the problem. It has since had to be replaced due to all the issues.
