[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: the references to liquid and mold growth - are you referring to mold in the washing machine?[/quote] No, in the detergent. When detergents are mixed with water, they are great places for mold growth. Since they are not pasteurized or chemically treated to kill the mold present in them as mold spores are everywhere, they will spoil just sitting on the shelf. This is why powdered detergents are preferred. Front loader washing machines are notorious for black mold and other mold and fungal growths due to their limited water use not properly rinsing the machine and clothes. Also because most people don't leave the doors open for them to air dry. And lastly also because the rubber door gasket seals have great areas to harbor mold growth unless you wipe them down after each use. [/quote] Source? [/quote]
