How to Get Your Washing Machine Drawer Like New and Mold-Free
Many people forget that the washing machine itself needs cleaning, specifically the detergent drawer. Over time, soap scum and fabric softener build up, creating the perfect environment for black mold and unpleasant odors.

Here is a simple and effective guide to restoring your washing machine drawer to its original shine.

1. Remove and Soak
The first step is to completely remove the drawer from the machine. Most models have a small tab or button you can press to release it.

* The Solution: Soak the drawer in a basin of warm water mixed with white vinegar and a squeeze of dish soap. Let it sit for at least 15–20 minutes to break down the hardened detergent.
