OMG! My washer is 20 years old and I never knew it had a filter. Black stuff was literally caked on hard as rock. Bonus though, I did find a quarter in there.
Atom Azersky My Whirlpool washer and dryer are 32 years old! They have never given me a problem. (Now that I said it, they will probably break down.) Didn’t know about a filter, I’m not gonna touch it now, but I will run the baking soda and vinegar through. I looked at new machines a couple of years ago because I kept thinking they would be breaking down any minute. When I said to the salesman I’ve had the machines for 30 years, he said well, these new ones won’t last anywhere near that long!
@@anavalenz9716 or even cheaper if you already buy the items in large quantity from Costco. I use both for cleaning all around the house, including in laundry
@@PanTheOrganizer hahaha her username is Spanish and translates to “I am a woman of the universe”. So “soy” means “I am” - it’s not a name, at least not in Spanish.
I've been doing the baking soda and vinegar every few months for years now , and cleaning the dispenser tray but I had no idea about cleaning the filter at the bottom or the rubber door gasket liner. I've learned something new today.
Old vid, but something important that you missed: On most front-loaders like that Samsung, grunge can build up on the panel above the dispenser trays. When you pull the tray out to clean it, be sure to look up on the inside of the opening for mold and/or grunge. That's where the water comes into the trays, and if it's grungy, it can add grunge to your clothes, and can plug up the valves, preventing the detergent, etc. from being properly dispensed. A wet toothbrush is usually the solution.
After finding stains on certain clothing, I decided it was time to clean my LG washing machine. I started with just vinegar, but now will go back and do the baking soda, including a toothbrush method that you suggested. So glad I found this video, and thank you for your time in doing so.
I feel cleaner already. Sooo thankful for this. I clicked on what looked to be an article (but was actually an ad) that was extremely lengthy. At the end was a link to 6 tablets. Normally $50 but are half off now. So, I did the smart thing and "TH-cam'd" it! Thanks a million... A million is likely what you've saved people over the years with this video. That's cool as hell. Thanks again.
I love my washer! Had never had one like this before. When the grunge smell came the first time I did so many things I thought would fix it. Nothing helped. Ran into a video that was so incredibly done, step by step, with pictures. I'm an old lady, the pics helped. Now I have a routine for cleaning and I do use the Afresh tablets and wipes. These are such great washers and. On the storage pedestals, perfect for older women and even young children learning to do laundry.
Thank you for sharing! I just deep cleaned our washer and it turned out great. I'd never used essential oils before when deep cleaning the washer and it was a nice touch.
Thank you very much for your informative video. I searched "how to for cleaning my washer". I had tried the baking soda and vinegar, but I didn't know the exact amounts to add and which cycle to use. You make this super easy to do! Thanks again!
I just moved into a new place and the washer stinks so bad. I am so happy I found your videos. I am going to clean this washer that may have Never been cleaned before! Thank you.
@@PanTheOrganizer I looked up on google best way to clean washer and your video popped up! Clicked on before reading anything else. WISE DECISION. My washer is clean and no odor. :) thank you!
Definitely a MUST to clean your washer regularly. Another tip is the more humid your climate, the more frequently you'll want to clean your washer. Nobody likes moldy/mildewy smelling clothes! Leave that door open!
If the door and the opening for the washing powder and fabric softener are correct, the accumulation of water from the washing machine can run better and dry. But I clean the wire every day.
I’ve watched several TH-cam videos on how to clean your washer. But the one ingredient that not one person has mentioned is Essential oils. Particularly “Lavender” oil. I am def going to try this today. I honestly didn’t realize for 1 you need to clean your washer. I just assumed since I’m always putting soap, Clorox bleach, vinegar, and baking soda oh and can’t forget clean water that the washer would be clean. For 2 I hadn’t even snapped to opening the door when not being used so the washer airs out and doesn’t create mold. Great advice! Thank you 😊
Thank you so much... obviously I know it needs cleaned but the how the when and the areas to focus on really helped me.... after year's of using the laundry mat I have my own set and I want to give then the best and longest life possible. So happy to be a mom today.
Cleaning my washing machine now, I was going to buy a new one cause my clothes weren’t smelling fresh. Haven’t cleaned the washer in 6 years and didn’t even knew you could clean. Thanks so much Sir.
Change to powder detergent. Liquid detergents don't remove odour or sweat from clothes effectively. Use at least 100g of powder detergent in each cycle. I switched to powder because my clothes weren't coming out clean as well.
When you're deciding to spend $10 on meat or $10 on some cleaning products.. You're gonna buy food! That's why so many people have dirty homes. I love how men show how to operate cleaning goods. They get right to the point. Life simplified! Thank you. Recently some "colour catcher" cloths got stuck in the bottom bit, and caused a lot of mildew, even though I had cleaned my washing machine recently. Why did I buy that?! It's best to stick to simple good old fashioned tips & methods that actually work.
Thanks for the video. I have a 4 year old whirlpool Duet Front Loading Washer and have used it for two years and have never cleaned it. After watching several videos on the subject, I was prepared for a long and difficult cleaning time, using rubber gloves, etc. etc. That seemed like overkill so I followed your instructions by cleaning the dispenser tray and wiping under the rubber seal. I chose to use disinfecting wipes to clean out any gunk and used them to wipe down the drum. To my surprise, there was hardly anything except hair under the seal, no mold or anything. Then I did the cycle with the baking soda mix as you suggested, and wham, clean and disinfected inside of the washer and it was simple, simple.
Pan TheOrganizer I simply just googled: "deodorizing your washing machine" found your video and tried it. Very simple and easy and the fact the only thing I had to purchase was the distilled white vinegar..only cost me $2.50..very inexpensive.

Ahh! Thanks! I always leave the door to my washing machine open after every load. I’ve had this washer for about 2 years now and never had a smelly washer until now. I hope this works! 🤞🏻
I'm doing this right now. I'm in the baking soda cycle and can't wait to see the outcome! Great information. 🤗 Edit- I forgot to say that I just subbed.
So add the baking soda and vinegar together at the same time and put the machine on? Or do I do the baking soda first and then vinegar???? And also doesn’t the baking soda get all Kacky and smudged up in the washer?
Better to clean the washing machine BEFORE doing your blankets,....they will smell much better. TIP....Use 2 capfuls of ZOFLORA Concentrated Disinfectant to your cleaning process....makes the machine smell beautiful.
I agree. I typed in how to clean my washing machine and clicked on your video. I like to the point videos without all the fluff. I will be watching all your videos. Thank you.
I always wipe my washer out after a wash especially the door seal hence no mould & no black marks on the rubber and my washer is in perfect condition for a 10yrs old washer. I will try the baking soda & vinegar though just to help clean the outlet pipe thank you
Pan you have a video for everything! I’ve been watching your videos almost two years now and had no idea this video existed, I was just about to clean my washer before I washed my microfibers! Great content man, and congrats again on the Porsche!
You need to pour that in via the soap tray to clean the gunk mix of soap+ clothes softener that's built up in the tube connecting to the washing tub. This can be the source of a red light alarm.
I tried this today and it really works. I put essential oil of peppermint in the water. My laundry room smells so minty and fresh. Thank you so much!!!
Aggie Vulaj I don’t understand all the trouble that people have. I always leave the door open on the washer and I have never had a problem ever with odors. If people just use common sense they wouldn’t have any of these issues
I leave mine open too and still have odors. It's from sitting water in the door seal which causes mold. Plus I have teens who wash their own laundry and pretty much rarely check pockets so there is always debris in the seal on the bottom of the lid where it drains...
Put the vinegar inside the detergent dispenser instead. Reason for it will dispense it when it’s about to wash. Also there’s a lot of detergent suds in the detergent dispenser. That can cause clogs. Since most consumers always overfill the washer with detergent. You cannot use more that 2 tablespoons of detergent per cycle. The third reason is the drain pump automatically comes on in the beginning of any load to sense and balance the clothes before it starts. So if you’re adding vinegar at the beginning 80% of it go right out
Also drain pump comes on often during loads especially if you have extra rinse option on. I would start by putting some on the dispenser. After it dispenses in the middle of the cycle I would open it up and put some more inside of it. And continue the cycle
One more thing. 90% of customers don’t ever clean the rubber bellow. That’s the place where the most mold and bacteria will be. Wipe it down with bleach before the rest of the Steps to really clean the washer.
We have never washed our washer ever and I’m starting to feel very itchy when ever I put my clothes on and I’m pretty sure it’s because it hasn’t been cleaned for awhile I’m going to try this thank you
My son's Miele element burnt out after only 4 years and when he took it out it was full of limescale and congealed soap - we will definitely be doing your cleaning method from now on thanks.
I’ve been trying to clean my washer the same ingredients , for years. But I put the ingredients In The dispenser trays, I will be putting it inside the washer from now on, thank you!
I watched your video and then cleaned my washer. What a huge difference! No more sour smell! Does a top loading H E washer have a filter? If it does someone please tell me! Thanks for the great video!
I really hope this helps. The washer in my new flat looks like it hasn't been cleaned for at least two years (I am scared to touch the filter). Running to the shop to get some vinegar and baking soda right now!
Hi Michaela! First, thanks for watching the video! I am sure this method will help refresh your machine. You can do this two times if it really needs major help. Let me know how it works out for you! By the way, how did you discover my channel?

No, I have never cleaned my washer - top loading HE - Grocery stores don't carry or don't know when I ask. I will clean it with Baking Powder then vinegar today or tomorrow. Where is the filter on a top load Maytag? Probably in the back - haven't cleaned that either Thanks for the tips - I WILL DO THIS!!
I was doing research on carpro, primarily cquartz and how to apply ceramic coating and I fell upon your video. Very informative and easy to follow. What are your thoughts on cquartz finest vs Modesta?
Look at that! when Pan the organizer was a little bit shy on camara but now haha oh man no words!! definitly TH-cam make us more open and better when someone speak to the camara! thanks pan for you efforts always.
And don’t forget to wash inside the opening for detergent drawer once you’ve removed the drawer, along with the inside and outside of the drawer itself. For the seal, I use a sponge scrubbie.
In addition to all of this if you want to remove the rotten egg smell permanently switch to dry powder detergent. I have no idea why this works but we switched from liquid to powder and smell never returned. It’s been six or more years.
Pan TheOrganizer Im just a washing machine enthusiast. I thought I wad the only one in the world. I love old European front loaders. They are great. If you leave the washing powder part open it creates a much better ventilation. :)
Yup, you'd be surprised just how many people have unique tastes and are enthusiasts about things they think nobody cares for. That's one thing I like about TH-cam... You can find communities of people who love the same things you do.
Happy new year! By the way, I have an updated tutorial for cleaning the washing machine here: th-cam.com/video/wFubFK5vdOc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LT-Ii8Kd28hcvtHc
Thanks for the tip. I ran the baking soda cycle last night. Running the vinegar and lavender essential oil cycle now. Excited to see what a difference this will make.
I knew it! I almost bought the compressed baking soda. Oh and that filter you mentioned, when my washer stopped working I found that nasty thing and it was a booger to get that off. My hubs has since found the trick and we have to empty it quite often with 3 dogs. Baking soda and vinegar is an old fashioned miracle worker. Thanks for the reminder.
thank you very much for your information that change different ideas in my mind . I guess that we mixed baking soda and vinaigre in the dispenser tray. if I put them on dispenser tray dose not affect my machine ?
Hi Meriem! Thanks for watching! I've never tried combining the vinegar and baking soda, and I would advise against that as you never know what kind of chemical reactions you might get. You can however put vinegar in the dispenser tray (fill it up completely), run the full hot cycle. Then, add the baking soda directly in the washer like in the video and run another cycle. Let me know how that works out for you! How did you discover my videos?
Pan TheOrganizer I discovered it by the help of a person who has chanel in youtube which talked about the same subject.So, he advised me to watch you as I don't find vanish for machine not for clothes in my country Morocco.

Pan TheOrganizer I started watching because I bought a brand new Golf GTI and I wanted to wash it properly since I read car washes can damage your car. Your videos are great you provide so much detail and I love how clean you work. You take a lot of pride in your work. I saw your Golf R video. Amazing work! You made me want to ceramic coat my car. Going to Xpel the front bumper and mirrors on Friday.
Pan TheOrganizer just looking through you tube and came across you I've already done that with my washing machine and it's come up looking brand new xx
Thanks for the feedback! Make sure you check out my other videos like DIY cleaning products, how to clean your dishwasher, etc. if you liked this one. ;) Have a great day!
Ok... And now this big shiny part has been cleaned. And now what, where does it need to be placed back in my car? 😁 Searching for tips on cleaning my washing machine, I never expected this/ you. At least, not without any microfibers. Congratulations on your success!!

Woah 20 years?? I’ve had mine 4-5 years and was feeling guilty not knowing 🤣🤣
Did it ever break down during the 20 years ?
I had to replace the circuit board about 10 - 12 years ago. I can't imagine that would be because of the filter though.

I would guess best is to set it on Small - as that should add more water, which in turn should clean it better.
Pan you have a video for everything! I’ve been watching your videos almost two years now and had no idea this video existed, I was just about to clean my washer before I washed my microfibers! Great content man, and congrats again on the Porsche!
I just bought a used washing machine and was looking how to clean and sanitize it! I’m glad I came across your video, thank you :)
I know this is an old video but it just came up in my recommendation list, my washer thanks you!
Same here. Oldie but goodie evidently!
You need to pour that in via the soap tray to clean the gunk mix of soap+ clothes softener that's built up in the tube connecting to the washing tub. This can be the source of a red light alarm.
I tried this today and it really works. I put essential oil of peppermint in the water. My laundry room smells so minty and fresh. Thank you so much!!!
My pleasure! How did you discover my channel?
@@PanTheOrganizer I went to TH-cam and typed in how to clean a washer machine and you popped up
Thanks for the feedback! :)
I keep my washer from odors by leaving it open after each use.
Aggie Vulaj I don’t understand all the trouble that people have. I always leave the door open on the washer and I have never had a problem ever with odors. If people just use common sense they wouldn’t have any of these issues
I leave mine open too and still have odors. It's from sitting water in the door seal which causes mold. Plus I have teens who wash their own laundry and pretty much rarely check pockets so there is always debris in the seal on the bottom of the lid where it drains...
Same here no odor at all.
Same. Never had odor problems.
i hear that white vinegar is a superior alternitive fabric softener
can you make a video on how to refresh A/C system, ventilation .
Yes I cleaned my washer today and dont ask me how bad it was but now I am so relaxed thanks alot for this video. God Bless you!😇
You are so welcome!
Put the vinegar inside the detergent dispenser instead. Reason for it will dispense it when it’s about to wash. Also there’s a lot of detergent suds in the detergent dispenser. That can cause clogs. Since most consumers always overfill the washer with detergent. You cannot use more that 2 tablespoons of detergent per cycle. The third reason is the drain pump automatically comes on in the beginning of any load to sense and balance the clothes before it starts. So if you’re adding vinegar at the beginning 80% of it go right out
Also drain pump comes on often during loads especially if you have extra rinse option on. I would start by putting some on the dispenser. After it dispenses in the middle of the cycle I would open it up and put some more inside of it. And continue the cycle
Samsung technician. Thank me later.
One more thing. 90% of customers don’t ever clean the rubber bellow. That’s the place where the most mold and bacteria will be. Wipe it down with bleach before the rest of the Steps to really clean the washer.
Great tips!! Thanks!! Makes total sense.
We have never washed our washer ever and I’m starting to feel very itchy when ever I put my clothes on and I’m pretty sure it’s because it hasn’t been cleaned for awhile I’m going to try this thank you
Just moved into a new house. This video (and the dryer one) saved us so much time and money! Thank you!
Thanks! I made an updated washing machine cleaning tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/wFubFK5vdOc/w-d-xo.html
Cleaning it now! Thank you for the short, to the point presentation.
Thanks Terry!

Thank you for the info. I didn't know there was a filter in the washing machine. We have the same models as yours. 👍🏽
My pleasure. We always learn new things in life.
My son's Miele element burnt out after only 4 years and when he took it out it was full of limescale and congealed soap - we will definitely be doing your cleaning method from now on thanks.
This was very simple and nicely explained. Thank you for your video post.
Thanks Keyur! How did you discover my channel?
It's so easy and it works! Thank you so much for posting this, my other family members have tried it and love the results!
Thanks. I will try that.
I’ve been trying to clean my washer the same ingredients , for years. But I put the ingredients In The dispenser trays, I will be putting it inside the washer from now on, thank you!
I subscribed today & have already used these videos to unclog my kitchen sink then cleaned my washing machine, thank you again Pan 😁
That’s so nice of you to say! 😀👍🏻
I watched your video and then cleaned my washer. What a huge difference! No more sour smell! Does a top loading H E washer have a filter? If it does someone please tell me! Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for the feedback! Your washer will thank you! I don’t know if top loaders have a filter though...
How did you discover my channel?
Thanks. I’ve used the expensive washer cleaners before. Look forward to trying these natural products. Thanks for sharing!
I really hope this helps. The washer in my new flat looks like it hasn't been cleaned for at least two years (I am scared to touch the filter). Running to the shop to get some vinegar and baking soda right now!
Hi Michaela! First, thanks for watching the video! I am sure this method will help refresh your machine. You can do this two times if it really needs major help. Let me know how it works out for you!

No, I have never cleaned my washer - top loading HE - Grocery stores don't carry or don't know when I ask.
I will clean it with Baking Powder then vinegar today or tomorrow.
Where is the filter on a top load Maytag? Probably in the back - haven't cleaned that either
Thanks for the tips - I WILL DO THIS!!
Thank you. This was helpful. I always take the part out where you put the laundry. This helps the whole machine to dry out with the door open also.
Thank you for sharing. Will leave my washer open from now on, great tip.

I was doing research on carpro, primarily cquartz and how to apply ceramic coating and I fell upon your video. Very informative and easy to follow. What are your thoughts on cquartz finest vs Modesta?
I never used Modesta coatings but from what I hear they are awesome too.
Look at that! when Pan the organizer was a little bit shy on camara but now haha oh man no words!! definitly TH-cam make us more open and better when someone speak to the camara! thanks pan for you efforts always.
Heheh thanks Jose! Yes this was in the very beginning of my channel 5 years ago!! :)
And don’t forget to wash inside the opening for detergent drawer once you’ve removed the drawer, along with the inside and outside of the drawer itself. For the seal, I use a sponge scrubbie.
My boyfriend's mother never once cleaned her washing machine. There was mold and mildew starting to grow in the detergent drawer. Quite disgusting.
In addition to all of this if you want to remove the rotten egg smell permanently switch to dry powder detergent. I have no idea why this works but we switched from liquid to powder and smell never returned. It’s been six or more years.
Great info Tim.....I’m going to try that to PREVENT any smells.
Geez Pan!! I started watching your channel for the car videos, my washer is a bit stinky, so I type it on TH-cam and here you are! Thanks !!
I never use the washer, I shower with my clothes on.
LOLOL !!!
Why not take it a step further and piss and shit in there too??

@@mzshan79 Naughty naughty Mr zaheer although you did make me giggle 😆
Yaaak super dirty
One more tip! Leave the washing powder thing open too between washes.
Hey that's a good tip Zhiivago!! Thanks for commenting!
How did you discover my videos?
Pan TheOrganizer Im just a washing machine enthusiast. I thought I wad the only one in the world. I love old European front loaders. They are great. If you leave the washing powder part open it creates a much better ventilation. :)
Yup, you'd be surprised just how many people have unique tastes and are enthusiasts about things they think nobody cares for. That's one thing I like about TH-cam... You can find communities of people who love the same things you do.
I knew about leaving the door open but not the soap dispenser door. Thanks for the tip!
Great tip Zhiivago!!
My 3rd time using your method.....works great and insanely easy. Did it again today. My dishwasher is next up.
Happy New Year '24 🎉
Happy new year! By the way, I have an updated tutorial for cleaning the washing machine here: th-cam.com/video/wFubFK5vdOc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LT-Ii8Kd28hcvtHc
Thank You! This is the comment I came for coz it seemed so easy I wondered whether it worked.
Good evening. Great video. Will try this over Affresh. Thats the product I use
Keep up the great videos
Thanks!
I've had this stinky ass washing machine for a while now, so I'm going to give this way a try! Thanks Pan!
Thanks for watching! How did you discover my channel?
Is your washer in the bathroom too? Could be the odors coming from the toilet and not the washer. Just a thought.
Thanks for the tip. I ran the baking soda cycle last night. Running the vinegar and lavender essential oil cycle now. Excited to see what a difference this will make.
Your washer will thank you.
Brilliant video! Very informative and I'm going to try this tomorrow 😊

@@PanTheOrganizer top video result from Google after searching something like "how to wash a washing machine"
Yup ! I agree, Clear and Concise!
I knew it! I almost bought the compressed baking soda. Oh and that filter you mentioned, when my washer stopped working I found that nasty thing and it was a booger to get that off. My hubs has since found the trick and we have to empty it quite often with 3 dogs. Baking soda and vinegar is an old fashioned miracle worker. Thanks for the reminder.
I keep the door open when not in use. I am behind on maintaining my washer.
thank you very much for your information that change different ideas in my mind . I guess that we mixed baking soda and vinaigre in the dispenser tray. if I put them on dispenser tray dose not affect my machine ?
Hi Meriem! Thanks for watching!
I've never tried combining the vinegar and baking soda, and I would advise against that as you never know what kind of chemical reactions you might get.
You can however put vinegar in the dispenser tray (fill it up completely), run the full hot cycle. Then, add the baking soda directly in the washer like in the video and run another cycle.
Let me know how that works out for you!

Pan TheOrganizer I started watching because I bought a brand new Golf GTI and I wanted to wash it properly since I read car washes can damage your car. Your videos are great you provide so much detail and I love how clean you work. You take a lot of pride in your work. I saw your Golf R video. Amazing work! You made me want to ceramic coat my car. Going to Xpel the front bumper and mirrors on Friday.
I'll follow the baking soda, vinegar and lavender since I already have these at home. Thank you for the tip, really appreciate it.👍
