Has anyone else had issues with this product leaving a whitish residue on the stainless steel of the inside of their washer?

I have not had this issue with my washer. I own a Whirpool washer and live in Washington State.

I have a brand new LG top load washer and am bummed because this product is leaving a whitish residue all over the stainless steel inside drum of the washer. It seems very difficult to remove the residue too! I'm not happy! Anyone have suggestions how I can remove it?

No. I have front load washer and we use the refresh tab that the washer manufacturer recommends each month as part of normal maintenance. Never see any residue from the soap. I would think there would be residue on the laundry too if it is in the wash tub. Try using less soap in each load

When we had hard water it did a bit, when I moved & had soft water no it did not

I have not had that problem. I would check inside the blade chamber to make sure there is no residue sticking to the inside of it.

I've had no such problems. I wash these items top rack dishwasher and they are squeaky clean when I take them out of the machine.

never had that problem. their customer service is good, though, so I'd give them a call. i have cleaned the inside with a bottle brush - it works well.

It was an issue for me too. I tried putting the outside washer on the inside, but it still leaked....so I siliconed it to the top seems to be a fix

Wow, I did not have this problem with mine at all. If washing with hot water and regular dish detergent doesn't do the trick, I'd suggest soaking it in a solution of white vinegar and cool water (1:1), then washing again.

Had white powdery substance all over sides and bottom of dishwasher. Even after rinsing my dishes the white power residue was on the dishes. Tried running machine empty with hottest water possible - didn't work. Used vinegar didn't work. Finally called repairman and he told me nothing was wrong with dishwasher and to use Glisten. Also, he said never use vinegar in a dishwasher (only coffee makers). Told me to try Cascade Gel without lemon! Well, the Glisten worked like a charm! Used 3 months ago and the interior and dishes are sparkling. Save repair costs and try Glisten, Cascade gel and hopefully, you too will see amazing results.

I haven't had that problem yet with mine, but when I clean it I might try wiping it out with a cotton ball wetted with rubbing alcohol.

I haven't had a problem. If there has been any residue (adhesive) I use a clorox wipes or a wet paper towel.

Mine is fine now. At first I installed it with the washer on the inside and it leaked like crazy. then I read the instructions (I rarely do this, lol) and when I put it together the right way, it didn't leak a drop.

It's probably buildup inside your washer, especially a front loader if you keep the door closed when not in use. There are several cleaners just for this purpose. Search for 'washing machine cleaner' on Amazon and you will see several products.

If the washer is out of warranty or you don't care if the washer company might make a big deal of using a non-HE detergent, just keep using it. Don't use more than you need or you'll get sudsing that'll reduce the effectiveness of the cleaning. I've been using this in my last two front loaders that recommend HE detergents with no problems. I never use more than the first line on the cup for even large loads. If you get excess suds, use less next time.

i don't have any issue, probably because i clean mine every day after i use it and once a week automatically soak the unit in a mild solution of baking soda and vinegar in water - like i do with my toothbrush.

I have not had mine long enough for residue, but would suggest a vinegar solution to clean any residue. It's generally a great cleaner for stuff like that.

My wife usually washes it and sometimes soap residue seems to remain. Pretty awful when that happens. I think take other recommendations here - especially about holding down the trigger, and then only rinse it well with hot water to clean it!

I have noticed the shower is getting cleaner, the drains are no longer rusty or showing very little rust. the kitchen sink which is stainless steel is the cleanest no white lime residue. We have disconnected our water softener and still get soapy water. Hope this helps.

I unplug and let the grain set for a few minutes. That softens the portion stuck to bottom. No problem cleaning in dishwasher. It's not necessary but, to polish the stainless steel to original shine, I do a final spray and wipe with white vinegar.
