Washers Permatuf Tub Care

Most GE Appliance washers have a glossy white non-staining surface. For the rare occasions when dye, calcium, or iron build-up would need to be removed, we have several recommendations for cleaning:

  1. Fill the tub to the highest water level with hot water
  2. Pour 1 cup of chlorine bleach directly in the tub.
  3. Run through a regular cycle.

OR

Use a citric acid treatment:

  1. Fill the tub to the highest water level with hot water. Add 3-4oz. of citric acid crystals (these are available through GE Appliance Parts, at drug stores or some grocery stores.) Hydrous crystals are recommended. Purchase a GE Appliance part online.
  2. Run through a regular cycle.
  3. After the cycle is complete, run through another regular cycle with detergent.

Note: If tar or something similar has gotten on the tub, you can clean with a citric acid cleaner like Goo GoneĀ® or a hand cleaner.
