    My front loader manual states to use bleach, not vinegar, for a monthly cleaning. Bleach will actually sanitize by killing nasties, not sure about vinegar.

    Anti dandruff shampoo like Head and Shoulders and others that contain zinc.

    I'm a Researcher for a large consumer goods company and work on laundry detergent. Dandruff shampoo contains zinc. Zinc is an antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal.

    Dose it into your washer (if you're using a toploader) like a normal liquid detergent dose. Use less for a frontloader as it is high sudsing. There isn't any suds suppressor in is.

    You can also use it to clean the inside of your washing machine, soak your dish sponges in it to get rid of germs and stink.

    That bit of knowledge isn't worth the trouble and expense of making legal claims on it but I'll give you that info for free. :-)

    I would bet you are the one who posted this information a couple years ago and got me started using the dandruff shampoo. It works great!
    Existence is empty, but I am full of myself.
