Re: How often do you clean your washing machine?

I can share a little recipe I do similar to that Mort for cleaning smelly plug holes:

Half a cup of Bi-Carb
Half a cup of salt
Half a cup of white venegar

When you add the vinegar it will start frothing.
Then pour boiling water on top.


I clean my washing machine every few weeks, I don't count the weeks exactly. I use either that Dr.Beckmans stuff or Dettol do a special cleaner too. They both say do an empty wash at 60 to rinse it all through.

Re: How often do you clean your washing machine?

That's a good one ... I do that. If I didn't my sink would get too whiffy with garlic.
It's bad enough trying to get it off my hands. I've stood rubbing my stainless steel sink as that's supposed to do it but it's not always longlasting.
