Washing machine maintenance cycle

Hi

For washing machine maintenance cycle, what do I use? Soda crystals or bio powder our both? Do I put powder / Soda in drum or detergent drawer?

Also my washingma chine has a self clean cycle, but it runs at 70 deg c. Do iIrun that prog ram or cotton one at 90 deg C.

We use bio powder almost always, so machine doesn't smell bad but I am just concerned about the lime scale as we live In veryy hard water area.

    What does the instruction booklet say?
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    There is no mention apart from noting that there is a self clean programme and it runs at 70 deg c.
