mildew in my washer

[applehead]

Does anyone know how to remove mildew from those little water outlet things at the top of the inside of the draw, and how to stop it coming back. It's a hotpoint first edition and I can't figure out how to get at the bits I want to clean.

you could get a brand new drawer for less than £20 from here

dont know if you know it but in general you can release the drawer by pressing a clip underneath the partialy open drawer
you may also release it by lifting the front edge up as you withdraw the drawer

Yes I didn't know I had a problem until I took the draw out. When I looked inside it was covered in this black stuff wich I presume, through reading other posts, is mildew. I don't know if the problem exends to inside the pipes that deliver the water.

Thanks Breezer. I Have been in there with a toothbrush wich got rid of most of it but it seems to be up inside the little outlets as well. I can only imagine how bad it is in there.
