how to clean a front load washing machine?

Question

I need to start washing baby clothes but the washing machine has dark spots from mold and don't feel comfortable washing the baby clothes in it. I tried everything like bleach, vinegar, baking soda, but it doesn't seem to work. Is it okay to wash baby clothes even though the washing machine is not perfectly clean ? Or is there any tip you use ?

Answer

This is what I used prior to washing all babies clothes. It's about $9 at walmart and is also sold at target

Answer

If you've bleached the seal on the machine then the mold should have been killed but may leave stains behind that you can't get rid of.  I have a front loading machine and do a hot (90 degree) wash every couple of weeks and leave the door open between washes as much as possible to prevent mildew. You could also try one of the mold and mildew sprays that are marketed for cleaning grout and sealant around bath tubs.

Answer

If you've used bleach and vinegar, then it killed the mold! It may be a stain from the mold. The only way I know to get that stain out is lemon, salt and put in sunshine. That's obviously not an option in this case.

I would say, as long as the clothes smell clean when they're done, they're clean! I don't know about you, but my pregnancy sniffer is really sensitive. I would be able to smell musty laundry a mile away.

Answer

Always leave the machine open when you aren't using it, a flaw with those is that they don't have a good system to allow them to dry out after. I would run a cycle wit. Towels, bleach, and oxy clean. Maybe even just oxy clean and white vinegar, then I would wash the baby clothes.

Answer

Is it actually mold or just stained from when the mold was there? Could it be rust? If you used all of thay stuff already I would think it's safe to use for baby clothes, but I'm no appliance person, lol. 
Also could be stained from being used for however long? Have you called from where you bought it? Maybe they can suggest something to do?
