Renting a house and the washer is full of mold?

Question

So we just moved into a rental house. And I went to use the washer and I saw something dark inside the washer and it is full of mold. I have 3 young kids( 4 years and under) and I’m 34 weeks pregnant. I don’t even know what to do in this situation. I’m super grossed out and feel like if I even clean the mold out it’s still dirty and could be a health risk? 😟 what would you do in my situation? I sent photos to the management

Answer

They need to clean it. This is a pretty normal issue with front loafers if they aren’t meticulously maintained.

Answer

Eww. This is why I hate front loaders. My mom had one when I was in middle school- throughout when I was in high-school and hers looked the same.

Answer

The washer was definitely not maintained properly. They need to replace it

Answer

Yuck! I’d definitely have them replace it or at least pay for it to be thoroughly cleaned! Mold can cause serious issues, you don’t want any of your clothes getting moldy. 
If they do clean it (not replace it) run it through with some borax, baking soda, and vinegar. And use Microbalance EC3 laundry additive in with your washes.

Answer

Mine does the same and I hate it!! And I clean it allll the time

Answer

That’s gross and I’d make them replace the machine
