[@SBBUK]

Nice video, currently waiting for my 90c wash with the cleaning powder to finish. Fingers crossed it will do the job. I think this is the one major disadvantage of doing colder washes - with modern detergents you can still get your clothes clean at 30c, but the machine builds up bacteria far faster than "back in the day" when people were washing at 60c+ on a regular basis. Still, running a high temp wash every 6 months or so is probably way cheaper than washing daily at higher temps.

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Thanks. Yes 90C gives it a good clean out. 😎

[@djcustoms6637]

And don't use fabric softener. It ruins clothes and can potentially be cancerous. But softener clings to your clothes fibers, but how does it know the difference between gunk and your fibers. It doesn't so it clings together gunk which makes it heavy and potentially sinks so it doesn't drain properly. Creates a feeding ground for bacteria

I don’t have any u bend on my drainage pipe ... constantly blocking and making floods, hence i drain directly in sink - so the pipe of the wash machine spits ribbed copies of its insides gunk... Cleaning it in all sorts of ways and its new machine Can low water pressure in the block of flats cause it?!

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Low water pressure shouldn't affect it as the drainage is the last part where the pump pumps out the water in the machine. Sounds like poor pipework on your drainage. Best get a plumber to have a look and advise.

Hi! I took out my soap drawer and behind it was a lotttt of mold. How do i flush this black stuff away after scrubbing it loose? can i put a small hose in? or do i kill the machine by doing so? I couldnt get it all away with a cloth and now all my clothes smell like shit and have these loose black stains :/

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Try scrubbing it loose with a long brush (but block that hole up incase you drop it), then do a service wash or a hot wash with no clothes to flush the machine through. After you do a wash always leave dispenser drawer slightly out to let it ventilate, will stop mould building

I doubt if an engineer would be able to fix that. Make sure you do some really hot washes (service washes) and after normal laundry leave the door and detergent drawer open to allow ventilation.

@@LurgsHowToGuides Hi, thank you for the reply. I have done three 90°C washes. One with a touch of bleach and two to rinse it out. I've checked the pump and the drawer has been completely cleaned and the rubber seal. Yet the washing still comes out smelling awful. I'll see if the professional machine cleaner works. The machine doesn't have a drum clean function, which is unfortunate.

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

@@WillVenusASMR Yes try Dr Beckmanns in the drum on a 90c wash. That should help. It shouldn’t smell if water is draining properly. Odd the actual Laundry comes out smelling, are you sure the cold water inlet feed is ok, I would think it is as it’s mains water and you’d see problems with water out of your taps. You could also try the pods for a laundry wash instead of using the detergent drawer as these go straight in the drum. Hope you can get it sorted, please let me know how you get on...and good luck.

@@LurgsHowToGuides I actually use ariel liquid and pop it right in the drum, on top of the load at the back. I'll try changing the water inlet hose as I don't think that has been changed in a long time. Thanks so much for your help, it's genuinely appreciated 👍🙏🏻

@@WillVenusASMR have you tried draining the filter hose as well as removing the filter and cleaning it?

[@MrRerod]

What are the active ingredients of your cleaner? The two main ingredients of affresh are 65% Sodium percarbonate or oxygen bleach aka oxiclean, and 15% Sodium carbonate or washing/baking soda. Also read citric acid and oxyclean..

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Not sure. Will have a look next time I buy some

[@zanyzoo6767]

[@abschee]

Is there a machine out there that doesn't require this kind of maintenance

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Unlikely as everything like this will need looking after.

[@SP-os9pf]

If the dispenser drawer looks like that i highly recomend buying a new one 😷

[@user-gn4ci1it9t]

Wow ❤😊

Nice guy. My wife 42 years happely married, will throw me out as soon as I start suggesting her toothbrush. How often did you have to remarry?

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

On my 5th marriage, they always start out great then my wife gets horrible rotten teeth and it ends in divorce.😆

[@jase6709]

Thank you. My clothes are smelling a lot fresher. I also found a coin in my drain. I was a bit luckier than you, I had a £1 coin in mine 😏

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Brilliant, fresher clothes and a £1 richer, happy days. Glad my video helped.😎
