2. Scrub the Details
Once the grime has softened, use an old toothbrush to reach the tight corners and the underside of the drawer. This is where mold usually hides.
* Don’t forget the housing: While the drawer is soaking, use a damp cloth or the toothbrush to clean inside the compartment where the drawer slides into. Mold often grows on the “ceiling” of this space.
3. Disinfect and Dry
To ensure the mold doesn’t return quickly, give the drawer a final rinse with a mixture of water and a little lemon juice or a mild disinfectant.
* Crucial Step: Dry the drawer thoroughly with a clean towel before putting it back. Moisture is the main cause of mold regrowth.
4. Maintenance Tips
To keep it looking “like new” for longer:
* Leave it open: After every wash, leave the drawer slightly ajar to let air circulate.
* Monthly Wipe: Give it a quick wipe once a month to prevent buildup.
> Conclusion: A clean drawer means cleaner clothes and a longer-lasting machine. With just a bit of vinegar and a few minutes of scrubbing, you can say goodbye to mold forever.

Best regards.
