Question from Wendy

Hello,

I have a Whirpool Cabrio he top loading washer. We’ve had it about a year and a half and I have been using Charlie’s Soap exclusively. Unfortunately, I have significant lime build up in the tub of the washer.

(I’ve been having a horrible problem with my clothes smelling like ‘paint’ or something.. after they are washed and dried repeatedly. I’m hoping getting rid of the lime might be the answer? One can only hope.

Anyways, I went to the Whirpool site, and they suggest AFFRESH to keep the washers clean. I’m not sure if this addresses and would solve the lime issue specifically, but that is their recommendation for cleaning the washer.

I’m looking to clean the tub in a non-toxic, non-chemical manner. Does anybody have a non-toxic suggestion for cleaning out the lime deposits in my washer? I was going to try vinegar, (2 cups with a regular load) but was afraid of issues with the stainless steel drum and corrosion? I’m not sure if bleach would solve the problem or get the corroded lime off the tub walls, either.

Additionally, does anybody happen to know if this AFFRESH is an okay option and non-toxic?
