How to disinfect my front-loading washer

[KatieMae]

Anyone know how to do this? (I'm hoping you don't have to use bleach)

I wash so many diapers & potty-training clothes right now it kinda makes me cringe to think about what's living in my washer after those loads are done. :sick

My washer has a drum cleaning cycle that uses hot water and steam. I'm guessing yours doesn't or you wouldn't be asking. I would probably use bleach. :shifty

YOu can use tea tree oil or grapefruit seed extract. They both will kill bacteria, viruses, and fungus. I use two cups of vinegar with some lemon juice squeezed in it and add about 10-15 drops of either TTO or GSE and run it in the hottest wash setting you have.
