White vinegar and 90c wash

dr B and vinegar, neither had results lasting more than a couple of days. I have gone back to washing powder and make sure to do a 60 or maintenance wash once a week. Its a bit of a battle keeping on top of the embedded whiffy smell that comes from down the soap dispenser

Every month a do a 90 degree wash with white vinegar and soda crystals, and every two months I give the machine a deep clean: remove tray and scrub, wipe clean inside of elephants bum, open filter at bottom and drain water out and then again do a 90 degree wash with white vinegar and soda crystals. Seems to be effective for us, but we live in a hard water area so the limescale can build up very quickly and easily.
