Steps to Clean Washing Machine Drum:

1. Use Baking Soda and Dish Soap:

   • Mix baking soda with dish soap and a little water to create a paste.
   • Apply the paste to the moldy areas inside the drum and on the rubber gasket.

2. Scrub the Mold:

   • Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to scrub away the mold gently.
   • Focus on tight spots and the folds of the rubber gasket.

3. Rinse Thoroughly:

   • Wipe down the cleaned areas with a damp cloth to remove residue.
   • Run an empty cycle with hot water to flush out any remaining solution.

4. Dry Completely:

   • After cleaning, leave the door open to let the drum and gasket dry completely. This prevents future mold growth.

5. Prevent Mold in the Future:

   • After every wash, wipe the drum and gasket dry.
   • Keep the door open for ventilation when not in use.
