This is EXACTLY the video I was searching for! I kept running into the same videos. Baking soda, vinegar, washer cleaning products, etc. Nothing that shows me ALL the different areas of the washer that need cleaning. Thanks for this!
Heather, I literally can not explain how you just changed my life. We just moved into a new apartment and I could not get the musty smell out of our washer and i would have never thought to check the soap area. Thank you so much for this video.
I'd be the last to judge, Heather. I've owned my washer for YEARS and once or twice run some vinegar through it. That's the extent of my cleaning. Your gunk is NOTHING compared to mine. Mine was so bad that my 41-year-old son noticed it when he was over doing laundry. I am left with some mold and mildew stains but after an hour or so of work and sanitizing cycle with some bleach (I'll do the vinegar and baking soda tomorrow as a follow-up), my machine sparkles and smells immaculate. This is a wonderful video. I watched it a step at a time, then went to perform that step and so on. Well done.
Nobody is judging you Heather - it’s sad that the internet can be that way and you have to make a disclaimer when this is totally normal after a long time. Mine hasn’t been done in nearly 2 years so it’s going to be a lot worse and I’ll be using this process - so helpful thank you! 💪
I haven’t washed mine this thoroughly since we moved here, 6 years ago. My son always wondered what the little trap door on the bottom was, but I never checked it out. Until today when I unleashed a bunch of stinky water that made us gag. D:
3 yrs later and I just came across this video. Thank you so much for this. My clothes have not been smelling clean after they have been washed and now I know why. Will be doing all of this today.
Wow! That is a lot. I have been watching mine get gross even after I think I have cleaned it. Thank you! And I love the way you say “disgusting” and you would be saying it a lot if you saw mine
Much appreciated. I love how you take us through it step by step. Like others, I didn’t realise I should be leaving dispensing drawer open. Honestly, I didn’t think your machine was that dirty and I can see how clean your floor and skirting boards are. Much cleaner than mine!!
Bless you! I have been fighting off mold and didn’t know I should be leaving the gage open! Just did a deep clean today thanks to you. Now, just need to figure out how to get my dryer to stop smelling musty!
I know it’s 3 years ago but I’ve just seen it. Thank you so much, detailed, and well explained and please don’t apologise, mine gets very dirty. This is a great video. Theresa
I literally have never commented on a TH-cam video before. I just moved into a "new" house and they had this washer. All I can say is THANK YOU. This video was so informative and helpful ❤️ it made my washer so clean. I had some pretty bad stains and the only thing I did differently was a hot water bleach mixture. Left it on the rubber for about 5-10 min. Took most of the stains right out! Thank you again 🙏
Thank you, thank you! I cleaned my front loader and followed your same steps and my washer smells brand new 🥹 Those affresh tablets weren't cutting it. It was actually very relaxing to thoroughly clean. Now, I take the detergent trays out to dry, and wipe the seals dry and leave the door open and tray open each night.
Thanks for this video. I just deep cleaned mine and its been a few years. I didn't know about the black hose in the filter area and to drain that first - I had always just pulled out the filter and water got everywhere! Now I know better. This video was really helpful!
So funny this came out when I got my washer dryer 3 years ago and today I for some reason read the filter door and was like wow I need to clean that 😂 thank you for this video I love it
Great quality video, I enjoyed watching! One thing you’re missing out on is using the pure cycle! The button for that is on the little control panel not the cycle selector. I just turned it on and hit the pure cycle button. That’s a long hot cycle design to clean the washer and gasket! It’s uses a good bit of water spun fast inside the drum, swirling, the water up over the gasket, cleaning it in the process. As per Samsung manual, they say for best results you can pour a little bit of bleach and detergent compartment.
This was SO helpful to see. We are having the same build up issues in our gasket and I just needed to see someone else clean this situation up using chemicals, elbow grease, gloves, and a brush ... cause I was *this* close to just flat out buying a brand new washing machine. But seeing that it IS possible to clean all the rubber and the nooks and crannies gave me the motivation and inspiration I needed to try it myself. So THANK YOU. I appreciate you.
OMG, I just cleaned my front load washer today, thank you, i was unaware of the inside of the gasket, I have never cleaned this part. I have had this washer for more than 5 years. This was my 1st try, I have already scheduled another super clean when I have a better scrub brush and cleaning products. You think the pics of your washer were gross…… you have no idea 😳🤢🤮🤣. Now I know where the odd smell was coming from 😬🤣
Thank you for all your suggestions. I also have a Samsung and have a similar situation. I think these are designed poorly. Also the seal and area around it are a nightmare. Thanks for suggesting these cleaners too.
Definitely needed to watch this qwq Me & ma family have a few dogs in the house, so ye can imagine the amount of dog hair that gets stuck in the washing machine. Especially on the inner/outer part of the washing machine rim :( It’s always the dog hair that plugs up the washing machine from the inside. The smell isn’t that bad most of the time, but it does get smelly sometimes🥲
Hi Heather, thank you for posting this video. I most definitely took notes on how to clean my front loader. I purchased my first last year. You're the best!
Thank you so much for this video!! I’ve been watching a bunch of these this AM trying to figure out how to clean a gross 🤢 washer. Yours is by far the best 👍 I learned so much. I’ll be back for more, new subscriber here 🙋♀️
I just finished a deep clean on my Samsung because it wasnt draining..replaced the drain pump and it's working fine now but it was disgusting inside. Those bottle brushes work really well to get between that back rubber gasket and that hard plastic that the gasket is attached to. Right behind that is the metal wheel that makes the basket spin. That gets covered with soap scum and gunk! just running vinegar and soda through the washer will not get rid of it. Bottlebrush bottlebrush bottlebrush. I'm telling you they are amazing. They come in different sizes and they are fantastic for getting the gunk off of those hard-to-reach places! You could even dip the brush in a cleaner. Better than a toothbrush and since a bottlebrush pipe cleaner style is metal, it bends!
Super helpful, I have been struggling with how to clean the gasket. I have the exact same washer, love the vinegar and baking soda idea. The only add on, I use a toothbrush to clean the inside of that filter at the bottom of the washer, since it is hard to reach. Great video and love the reflection of your robe. 🤣
I think people actually appreciate showing the amount of grime that can build up in a year. I know I certainly did. It is a dirty job that I know I have been procrastinating, and I don't think anyone really enjoys doing. So, I don't think anyone is judging you, and if they are, that is their problem;)
Wow I just learned so much! I have an LG washer and the gasket is not at all flexible like yours. It honestly seems impossible to fully clean underneath it without completely tearing it off and I can clearly see gunk built up sticking out. 🤢
This Samsung model actually has the PureCycle setting that you press and then press Start. It's their self-cleaning mode. I think you can use it along with the baking soda/vinegar combo to really maximize cleanliness. It runs for about 2 hours and, according to the manual, you're supposed to use it once a month.
Guys let me tell you sth. It’s the first time ever I knew that filter thing has to be cleaned and we have been using our washing machine for more than 10 years. I just checked that filter, guess whaaaat? 😂 it only had some tiny bits of thread like stuff and that’s it😅 I was sooo relieved to see it like that
Thank you for this great tutorial! I just moved into a house with a washer and did a deep clean after watching your video. My question is, how do you clean out the rest of the pipe inside the machine? I cleaned out the detergent dispenser trays and inside the washer, but I can still see mildew beyond what I can reach and I can only imagine it goes into the bowels. I feel icky just thinking that water is going past moldy piping to try and clean my clother.
Lowe's sells a washer cleaner powder that does an excellent job. You put a pack straight in the drum along with a pitcher of VERY hot water and then run a normal wash cycle on hot. We had to do ours twice because it was still soaping up. That thing smells fresh and clean now. Also we are leaving the soap dispenser open now between washes, along with the door. These front loaders DO require cleaning about every few months.
Thanks for making this video! I got a Samsung front loading washer and dryer about a year and a half ago… I’ve been cleaning but not very well, I didn’t know how. My fiancée is a concrete mason and we have a dog….. so I went to clean it today and there was so much concrete and dog hair built up in the gasket 🤦🏻♀️ immediately searched how to deep clean… so thankful for your video!❤
Hi! Glad it was helpful!! The front loaders are so hard to keep clean. I just replaced the one in this video, we actually had it for 10+ years! We went with another Samsung that has a “self clean” feature, haven’t tried it yet but I hope it works! Lol
I've done this for years and my Hotpoint front load washer is still going after 12 years. Once every 4 months is fine providing you keep door and drawers always slightly open after a wash and wipe down the rubber once a week. White vinegar with baking is good, but I add Dr Beckmann product also on a boil 90°c. Whilst front washers do require a little more maintenance I prefer them, I can't stand top washers especially as they're just awkward to reach into and are ruff on some clothes.
Every time I finish using my front load washer, I take a Terry wash cloth and wipe the door gasket and the inside & outside of the door. The dispenser and inside dispenser get wiped down to remove moisture. Then I store the dispenser tray inside the washer with the door opened. Filter get cleaned on a monthly basis as well as tub cleaning.
Oh my goodness……I have NEVER washed the inside of my LG front loader and have always wondered why they did such a bad job designing the rubber seal - I don’t know why it never dawned on my to try cleaning it - I’m way more embarrassed than you! I wonder how many countless people I have had do laundry at my house and thought I’m a terrible house keeper!!! Ha! My washer hasn’t been this clean and beautiful since the day I got it - thank you for this!! 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing this! I started noticing some streaks that looked like pen on our laundry after washing. Took a very close look and noticed how disgusting our washing machine was. Doing a deep cleaning tonight! Hopefully that resolves it!!
You are awesome! I had the same washing machine. It stopped working due to all the gunk buildup. I had a repairman try to clean it. We just went too long without cleaning. Pretty disgusting what accumulates. I leave the door and soap dispenser door open now to let them air out. I have a new Samsung machine and I hope it last longer.
Our front load washer doesn't have a filter, or whatever that little tube thing is that water came out from. Our tray is nearly identical though. The rubber ring is the worst. It's so difficult with how tight it is to get within that gap space. At least we've been sure to do it's monthly cleaning cycle with the pods it needs since we bought it. But vinegar and baking soda alone doesn't help with the mildew build up within the rubber ring, and vinegar apparently shouldn't be used, that could be why it's hardened more, my bad. I just want to have clean clothes. Although a front load washer is more gentle on our clothes and cleans better, cleaning the rubber ring became a weekly chore. And we can't take ours off. We'd have to hire someone trained to replace the ring. There's a risk of getting hurt from the tension of the wire and spring keeping the ring in place.
Ha! never saw the drain tube🤣🤣🤣 I just put a towel down to catch the water🤣🤣🤣. Never took the soap tray out before.. I did take the soap tray apart farther and use small brushes to get in all the holes. I scrubbed the heck out of the gasket. And use vinegar and baking soda to do a wash..thank you for your video. I Appreciate you🥰
Lol! So glad this video helped you:) One time I pulled the thing out without draining it first, and that was the last time I made that mistake. 😂 It was a mess everywhere, such a pain! Definitely think after this washer goes I will be getting a top loader!
I did a self clean and had to use the shop vac to suck the debris up inside still but it came out nicely and I got a lot out of the trap. Who knew it was so nasty
THANK YOU for such a comprehensive guide!! I’ve always struggled with that fucking GASKET. They’re horrible to clean! This was super easy to follow! Great video!
Thank u so much I have a Samsung washer and dryer I had mines last September and then months later I started smelling like a mold egg smell when I search how to clean washer and came upon yours I clean my washer and did everything to the t it’s smell is gone but then find out later it’s coming back just Alittle bit not where I can smell it from the outside so I’m happy hopefully I look into that smell and find other ways to permanently remove it
I’ve heard that mixing vinegar and baking soda actually reduces their effectiveness. The chemical reaction that happens is the baking soda neutralizing the vinegar, so now you have a solution with the benefits of neither the acid of vinegar nor the alkalinity of the baking soda.
Ooooomg..... I can't watch this video Heather!! I can't stand this part of the washer. . You are a brave woman❤😊 ok never mind.. I'm going to watch the video😊😊
I do a deep clean every couple of months or when it shows signs of needing. Always leave door open and drawers open to air out is key. I ended up getting another front loader as this one was almost 12 years old. I have a counter over so the top loader wasn’t going to work :)
I have had my washing machine for 22 years now and don't have any issues with it the secret is when finish with it leave the door open and let it dry out and you won't get any smells.
I’m sure 99% of our washers are like that. I have a Samsung too and was just cleaning it. It’s so nasty, I’m running two cycles with Afresh, will try the baking soda later.
Not disgusting at all! Recently cleaned one that hadnt had a clean for 4+ yrs and that was DISGUSTING. I could smell how clean yours in through the screen 😆
All these comments are quite old so not really looking for a reply although I’d love one. I have a Samsung front loader and I wash my machine often, I have to keep the door and drawer closed sake of my 2 year old daughter. My machine often smells and before putting a wash in I have to rinse and spin until the odor has gone. It’s so frustrating as we clean it at least every 2 months and the same problem arises. Today I decided to do a baking soda and vinegar clean again and the amount of black flakes on my machine that won’t go away now is killing me emotionally. This is the second 2 hour hot wash today and there’s more flakes than before.. What can I do please if anyone sees this x

“I’m extremely embarrassed right now, look how disgusting that is!”
Me, who hasn’t cleaned my washer since I bought it: “aw fuck…what’s in mine?!”
😂 😂 😂

Glad it helped! I just posted an updated routine about a month ago!
I’ve used this video multiple times now to remind me what I should do to deep clean my washer. Thanks so much! :)
You are so welcome! I’m going to be making a new washer cleaning video here in the next couple of weeks :)
I literally have never commented on a TH-cam video before. I just moved into a "new" house and they had this washer. All I can say is THANK YOU.

Wow. This video gave me a lot of the cheapest ideas to keep my washer clean.
And to be honest, the video is so satisfying.
Thank you, thank you! I cleaned my front loader and followed your same steps and my washer smells brand new 🥹 Those affresh tablets weren't cutting it. It was actually very relaxing to thoroughly clean. Now, I take the detergent trays out to dry, and wipe the seals dry and leave the door open and tray open each night.
Glad it helped!

You’re welcome! And I agree! I will most likely get a top loader next time!

Going to do mines now beginning to smell thanks for this video
Awesome deep cleaning for a commonly forgotten place!
wooder - gotta love the delco lol. seriously though thanks for the tips!
Lol! You say tomato I say tomato :)

Awesome motivation. It's so easy to forget about the washer
For sure!!
Thank you I just purchased front loaders, so thanks in advance!!! 😊
Glad I could help!
Thank you for this informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
Oh my goodness! How am I just realizing that you have a TH-cam channel! 🤦♀️ I have those same Samsung machines. Here watching.
The front loaders can be really nasty! 😩
Good idea using Tilex.
Ha! never saw the drain tube🤣🤣🤣 I just put a towel down to catch the water🤣🤣🤣. Never took the soap tray out before.. I did take the soap tray apart farther and use small brushes to get in all the holes. I scrubbed the heck out of the gasket. And use vinegar and baking soda to do a wash..thank you for your video. I Appreciate you🥰
Lol! So glad this video helped you:) One time I pulled the thing out without draining it first, and that was the last time I made that mistake. 😂 It was a mess everywhere, such a pain! Definitely think after this washer goes I will be getting a top loader!

Thank u so much I have a Samsung washer and dryer I had mines last September and then months later I started smelling like a mold egg smell when I search how to clean washer and came upon yours I clean my washer and did everything to the t it’s smell is gone but then find out later it’s coming back just Alittle bit not where I can smell it from the outside so I’m happy hopefully I look into that smell and find other ways to permanently remove it
Glad I could help
All I have to say is 😳😳😳😲😲😲 I
need to up my washer dryer cleaning game!!!
Haha lol!
I’ve heard that mixing vinegar and baking soda actually reduces their effectiveness. The chemical reaction that happens is the baking soda neutralizing the vinegar, so now you have a solution with the benefits of neither the acid of vinegar nor the alkalinity of the baking soda.
Yes, alkaline and base. You can run each separate. I mix them together for the reaction, works great for me!
Ooooomg..... I can't watch this video Heather!! I can't stand this part of the washer. . You are a brave woman❤😊 ok never mind.. I'm going to watch the video😊😊
Ugh it’s so gross! Definitely looks like a biofilm growing 🤮
Where did u get your cleaning brush from?
This entire cleaning is usually recommended every how often? Debating to get either top or front loading set. Would you still buy front loading again?
I do a deep clean every couple of months or when it shows signs of needing. Always leave door open and drawers open to air out is key. I ended up getting another front loader as this one was almost 12 years old. I have a counter over so the top loader wasn’t going to work :)
So helpful!!! Now I’m terrified because you showed your filter after one year and I’ve never cleaned it in the past 6 years so…. 🤮 wish me luck LOL
Lol!! Good luck! I hope it's not as bad as you think!
I have had my washing machine for 22 years now and don't have any issues with it the secret is when finish with it leave the door open and let it dry out and you won't get any smells.
Nice tutorial! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Great job!
Thanks!
I’m sure 99% of our washers are like that. I have a Samsung too and was just cleaning it. It’s so nasty, I’m running two cycles with Afresh, will try the baking soda later.
Do you use the Pure Cycle at all to clean?
Not disgusting at all! Recently cleaned one that hadnt had a clean for 4+ yrs and that was DISGUSTING. I could smell how clean yours in through the screen 😆
Lol thanks!
Thank you. Super helpful. 🙏🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Heather tell me why i wash my washing mashing but its still dirty can pls tell me why ?
And sorry for my bad english
Do you have a link for the brush or can you tell me where to get it? Thanks
Hi, it’s a scotch brite scrub brush. You can get a target, Amazon, Walmart!
All these comments are quite old so not really looking for a reply although I’d love one. I have a Samsung front loader and I wash my machine often, I have to keep the door and drawer closed sake of my 2 year old daughter. My machine often smells and before putting a wash in I have to rinse and spin until the odor has gone. It’s so frustrating as we clean it at least every 2 months and the same problem arises. Today I decided to do a baking soda and vinegar clean again and the amount of black flakes on my machine that won’t go away now is killing me emotionally. This is the second 2 hour hot wash today and there’s more flakes than before.. What can I do please if anyone sees this x
Thank you for the advice 💖
You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful :)
