  • If it’s some form of shared washer, run a cup of bleach through a cleaning cycle. If it doesn’t have one, any hot cycle will do, then an extra rinse.
    If you somehow don’t have bleach, use a cup of that strong cleaning vinegar stuff, or a couple tablespoons of citric acid. But please do not even think about combining bleach and acids.

    If you payed to use the washer, surely they must have some way for you to channel your best Karen and complain about it.








  • Everyone else is saying vinegar, which will certainly work.
    But if you’re like me and cannot stand the stench of vinegar, then I recommend citric acid. 2 tablespoons to a liter of water is a good place to start, but you can most likely find dosage specific to your machine with some googling.
    Also, you can get ~2kg of citric acid for 15~25 $or€. I use it to descale everything from coffee contraptions, to shower heads; and a big bag of it lasts us 1½ years. Our water is fairly hard too, about 160 TDS.
