Super Fresh™ Removes ODORS Caused by Top Load Washing Machines

 Left Picture: View from outside washing machine.

Right Picture: View of inside gasket showing mold and mildew.




If you own a high efficiency front load washing machine then you have probably been very pleased with the fact that these washing machines clean your clothing better with less water, come out of the washing machine dryer due to a high speed final spin cycle, which allows for less drying time, as well as many other energy saving features.

One thing you may not be happy about is the fact that these washing machines can and will cause your laundry area as well as your clothes to have a mold or mildew type smell.

This odor is caused by the gasket that is located immediately inside the front door. As you will see in the pictures, the inner lining of the gasket is manufactured in such a way that water can collect at the bottom of the gasket causing the water to sit between loads. Couple that with the fact that the area inside the gasket get’s no light, is damp, and cool, and you have a perfect breeding ground for mold spores to form and grow.

Manufactures of these washers suggest that you always leave the door slightly ajar to allow air in. The manufactures also sell small tablets that you are to use every two to three weeks to help clean the inside of the gasket. While doing these two things may help, they do not totally remove the mold or the odor.

Here is how to get rid of the odor: The inside of the gasket must be thoroughly cleaned using our EATOILS™ Super Fresh™ Certified Green Cleaning Solution. Mix at 4 ounces to a gallon of water and clean the inside of the gasket using a small soft bristled brush and a rag. First spray liberally inside the gasket with the diluted Super Fresh™ solution, then lightly scrub with the soft bristled brush, let sit about 10-15 minutes and then wipe with a damp rag. You will be amazed at the amount of Mold and Mildew that you will remove. After thoroughly cleaning, spray some more of the Super Fresh™ inside the whole circumference of the gasket and let air dry. At this point the Mold and Mildew will be killed and removed from the gasket along with the odor.

If you are unable to perform this cleaning task, please feel free to call us at Clean and Green Solutions, 281.883.8470, and we will be glad to send out a service tech to perform this for you at a nominal service charge.

Once you are done cleaning the gasket, you can spray any clothing or towels that may have absorbed the odor. Using your spray bottle, mist the clothing or towel items just until lightly damp and this will remove any residual odor. Remember the Super Carpet Fresh is Certified Green and will not harm you or your clothing. After treating the clothing or towels you may choose to launder again but this is not necessary.

To keep the Mold, Mildew, and Odor from returning spray some of the EATOILS™ Super Fresh™ diluted at 2 ounces per gallon of water inside the gasket every 1-2 weeks and continue to keep the door slightly open when the machine is not in use, per manufacture instructions.

Here is what one client wrote to us just yesterday, "Thanks Doug Rucker and "Clean and Green Solutions" for making my washer not so stinky! Your odor removal product ROCKS!!!! (and it's green...yea for me!)"
Mrs. C. Wheeler, Splendora, Tx.

CLEANING UP MOLD AND MILDEW ON OUTDOOR SURFACES-SAFELY

How can you get rid of mold and mildew on fences, decks, concrete and stone work, patio furniture, vinyl awnings & gazebos, shelters, etc without using harsh chemicals?

Over the years we have encountered a number of situations where mold & mildew have attacked surfaces and left a serious discoloration. As we do not like to use bleaches or other harsh chemicals in anything that we do we have found that EATOILS™ BT200™ is an ideal mold & mildew cleaner and preventer.

Just mix at approx. 4 oz per gallon of water and spray it on the surface to wet it down. Wait for about 30 minutes and agitate with a stiff brush (for softer materials use a softer brush) - you'll see the mold and mildew break down and release from the surface. Rinse and repeat. Older problems will take multiple applications. The mold & mildew will disappear and the residual product will help to prevent re-infestation.

We have tried this approach on all kinds of surfaces and the product will not harm the surface in any way as there are no harmful chemicals, solvents, or damaging materials whatsoever in the product. In fact, the product is ECOLOGO™ certified GREEN and safe for the environment.

If you can't get it clean with traditional cleaning products, give us a call - we may have the answer for you. Call us at 281.883.8470 or visit our website at http://www.cleanandgreensolutions.com/
