It could if mold and mildew is anywhere it can make you sick. Try running the washer all the way through with bleach only use it quite a bit. Put on some rubber gloves and spray some lime remover or some mean green (i think that is what its called) in it and then wipe down throughly. This should kill any germs and bacteria.Can mold or mildew in a washing machine cause you to get sick?
Yes it can. You need to just put in bleach in your Mom's washing machine and let it fill it up with hot water and let it set for a bit then run a load with nothing in it but the bleach. Do this a few times and see if that helps. it may be so far gone that it has gotten into the interworkings and in that case onloy a new washing machine would do.
Definitely, especially if the kitchen cloths are washed in it. Good old boil wash 95 deg C should clear it out - good for the kitchen cloths too. Be tactful about it to your Mum though.
I don't think so,but may be you can tell Doctor and take his opinion,and if it's necessary change the machine or buy a new one.
Yes! You need to just put in bleach in the washing machine and run it with nothin in it. Bleach should kill the bacteria.
It would probably be worse in the dryer, esp. the exhaust vent...check that too.
No I very much doubt it:)
no sense in going into it,yes
