Tips for Effectively Removing Mould from Washing Machines Using Vinegar
Cleaning experts have shared helpful tips for removing mould from washing machines. Mould can develop in washing machine seals due to moisture. To combat this, consider using vinegar, a common kitchen item.
Experts suggest that while bleach can kill mould, vinegar is a more effective choice. “Vinegar can effectively kill the mould at the root, which means it's less likely to return," said one expert. This makes vinegar less toxic and safer for home use compared to bleach.
To eliminate mould and mildew for good, begin by addressing moisture sources. “You'll need to firstly identify and dry out the sources of moisture, using your best dehumidifier or fans," according to Home and Garden. Repair any leaks, prevent condensation on windows, and develop daily habits to keep your home mould-free. Turning on exhaust fans after showering, opening windows, sealing gaps, and ensuring items are dry before storing them can all help in this effort.
