Frequently Asked Questions

How do you use DrumCare360 brush?

Wet the brush with water or your preferred cleaning solution. Gently pull back the rubber gasket and insert DrumCare360 so the bristles reach the space behind the seal. Press the brush against the rubber gasket and make a full 360-degree swipe around the entire gasket to loosen and remove grime.

Next, press the brush against the drum and rotate the drum a full 360 degrees, continuing until the area under the drum is clean to your satisfaction. Use steady pressure and repeat passes as needed.

Use the brush to clean the detergent drawer as well: scrub thoroughly inside each compartment, paying special attention to corners, edges, and the siphon tubes where black mold commonly accumulates. Rinse or wipe away loosened residue and let all parts dry before reassembling.

The brush is designed to be durable and flexible due to its TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) material. While it is soft and flexible, excessive force beyond normal use could potentially cause it to deform or break. However, under typical cleaning conditions, it should withstand regular pressure without breaking.

Will the brush break if too much force is used while cleaning?

How do you clean the brush?

To clean the DrumCare360 brush, rinse it well with warm water to remove soap or dirt.

How can I remove mold and debris from my washing machine’s drum effectively?

Remove visible debris first: open the door and pull back the rubber gasket (for front-loaders) to lift out lint, hair, coins and black residue; wipe or brush loose material away with DrumCare360 brush.

  • Clean the door seal, detergent drawer and any removable filters with the DrumCare360 brush and a cloth and a mild cleaner. Follow your washer maker’s recommended cleaning steps for seals and parts.

  • Use a commercial washer cleaner or run a maintenance wash on the hottest cycle. Manufacturer-recommended cleaner tablets or a hot cycle with an appropriate disinfectant will break down residue and kill mold spores. Don’t mix cleaners (follow product/manufacturer guidance).

  • After the cleaning cycle, wipe the drum, door glass and gasket dry. Leave the door and detergent drawer open between uses so the interior can fully air-dry — this significantly reduces mold recurrence.

  • For stubborn black mold in gaskets or crevices: scrub gently with the DrumCare360 brush and a cleaner safe for your machine (follow the manual). Repeat cleaning cycles as needed and schedule a monthly maintenance wash.
