Switched from store bought fog juice to DIY mix last month

I used to just grab whatever cheap fluid was on the shelf at the Halloween store, but after a buddy pointed out the residue it left on his gear, I tried plain distilled water with a pinch of glycerin. Cost me about $4 for a gallon of the good stuff compared to $12 for a tiny bottle. Has anyone else noticed a difference in how long their machine runs between cleanings with homemade mix?

Man that residue is a NIGHTMARE, does your machine run any better now?

My neighbor Frank had a similar issue with his old Kenmore washer from the 90s. He spent three weekends scrubbing that black gunk out of the rubber seal with bleach and a toothbrush. Then he realized the machine was just dumping lint back into the wash because the filter was clogged. He finally replaced the whole drain pump assembly for 40 bucks on eBay. The thing runs like new now except for the squeaky belt. You tried the vinegar and baking soda trick yet?
