When you do the maintenance wash, add washing soda crystals or a dishwasher tablet. The. Dishwasher tab breaks down grease.. Wipe the door after doing it ( ugh)....Children are born with wings ....

Thanks for all the tips guys and girls... I will have to dig my manual out and see which is the longest hottest wash (they just have names on the machine, no temp or length!)
I'll also get a bag of soda crystals

I had problems with powder in the drawer getting clogged up/not dissolving properly, now I put it directly in the drum, right at the back before the clothes go in0

Zoflora is great, quite a good range of pleasant scents. It's also quite good for cleaning windows, stick a capful in a plant hand sprayer fill up with hot water, and spray on the windows, (Avoid the frames and sills) wipe off with scrunched up newspaper.
Your longest Boil wash setting with an old towel, and chuck a cup of washing soda in the powder draw that normally gets rid of any pongs, but you should leave the machine door open between uses, try to do a boil wash at least once a month.My Mind wanders, if found please return.0 -
