Well, I've been noticing that my washing machine needed a little attention. Since I'm cleaning and organizing top to bottom, this seemed to fit the agenda.
So I did a little online research, which wasn't helpful. That's why I'm posting this for you. Most things I read said to run the machine empty with either a cup of bleach (for stains) or vinegar (for smell). Obviously neither of those were my problems. I had some fabric softener build up.
Yikes!
I figured out that you can removed the the softener dispenser. I ran hot water through it and shook a lot to clean it out. It was so nasty! I even got a toothpick out of there. Seriously! I have no idea how it got there.
Then I just used good old fashion elbow grease and scrapped off the build up. I also read that if you put a cup of water in the softener dispenser after you've put the softener in, it helps eliminate build up. Or you could use the time release balls.
Good as new!

Wow, you are putting me to shame now! I did not need one more thing to think about as far as cleaning goes! That's awesome though, now I will have to go take a look at mine.
Hey I did that the other day too. LOL it looks brand spanking new again.
Wow! Nice work girl.
It looks like you just a new one delivered! Great work! I always take a few cap fulls of water and add it to the softener dispenser. It cuts way back on the build up!
Looks great I sooooooo need to do the same thing to mine!!!! UGH!! LOL
