I am a leasing agent for a residential apartment building in Los Angeles, Ca. I have 6 years of experience in this position. As an onsite leasing agent, my job is to oversee a new residentâs entire process. I am the first contact that all potential tenants have when they are interested in renting an apartment.
This mildew smell is a common problem for people who own front-loading washers. That odor comes from mold growing inside your washing machine caused by residue and bacteria. Here are a few steps you can take that will help eliminate the cause and remove the smell.
Cleaning a standard top loading washer is really simple. For a top load washer, fill the drum with the hottest water temperature on your machine. Add one quart of chlorine bleach - no detergent. Allow the washer to run through its longest wash and spin cycle. Immediately fill the washer with hot water again and add one quart distilled white vinegar.
