There is rust coming from the holes in my 5-year-old washing machine. I have seen posts that suggest using a rust remover, but that doesn’t solve my problem long term. Any ideas?
You can try to use some special enamel you can purchase at hardware stores (less than $5), but if you can’t see the nicks in the enamel of the basket (that cause the rust stains) to do the touch-up, you need to have the washing basket in your machine changed out. Ask around for how much that would cost though (parts and labor), because it might be cheaper to just purchase a new machine.
