Caution on the bleach Although washers are tough, make sure you dilute the bleach very carefully, I m not an expert on this. Anyone else chime in on this. My father used to put bleach down the disposer to cut the smell and it locked it up tight. | ||

Garage washers
Chlorine bleach will actually dry-out rubber materials, not help them. That's why plumbers hate those chlorine laden toilet tank tablets because they dry out the flappers and cause leaks. I keep a couple washers in the garage too, and we get pretty warm in the summer here in the south too. You may want to use your machine a little more often in the evenings when it cools down a bit, but I would not leave water standing in any washer, new or vintage. Your best bet may be to find ways to ventilate your garage to keep it as cool as possible. | ||

I kept my 1-18 in an unventilated garage when I lived in Phoenix,(thank GOD I'm not there anymore!!) which gets hotter than Sacto, for three years with minimal use (maybe once every six months) and it survived just fine, along with my Norge, Speed Queen and Wards machines! Now I'm in far northwestern damp northern California and my machines and me are loving it!
