Are there any products on the market that you can safley put thru the washers soap dispensers to clean them out?
Also are there any products that can be placed thru a wash cycle that can aid in keeping the sewer lines clean?

The best thing for soap tray cleaning is HOT water and a stiff paint brush. You can buy a pomp up lawn chemicel sprayer and fil it with hot water and it will make the job quicker and eaiser.
Bleach will break down most of the stuff in the sewer line, However you should realy plan on having it cleaned with a snake and the coresponding scraping attachment every year at a minum. If you shop around there you will find a sewer guy who will give you good price, if they cak put you on a scheedul. Plan ahead and have them come buy on your slowest day and it wount be in the way. Rember to run as much water down the drain as you can while they are cleaning them. If they are good they should on sight less that an hour. I pay $160.00 for this service, however i have paid over $300.00 using a branded company like RoTo-Roter. and the did a terable job!

I have 30/50 WE from Speed Queen. I start the machine and use a bristle brush/tooth brush to scrub out the dispenser while it is running water in there. Then I rapid advance to 13 min I think where the fabric softner slot starts filling with water. I scrub this and then rapid avance to the end and wipe it down. Works great! You don't need any chemicals, water, or anything.
