Front-load washer mildew is caused by trapped moisture and detergent residue. To prevent it, always leave the washer door and detergent drawer slightly open so they can dry. After the final load of the day, wipe down the rubber gasket—especially under the inner fold—and dry the inside of the glass door. Use only HE detergent, use less soap (about 2 tablespoons), and avoid liquid softener unless diluted. Once a month, run a tub-clean cycle with a cleaner and clean the drain filter. If mold is already present, treat it with vinegar or a diluted bleach solution, scrub the gasket, and rinse on a hot cycle. With these simple habits, you can stop odors and keep your washer fresh.
