    I am well impressed with your tech-speak!!:j :j

    Nothing wrong with Beko's!! Just asked if it was a Zanussi because they seem to be particularly prone to limescale build up on the "spider". (See, I'm doing it now :p:p )

    When you have done your vinegar thingy and are ready for another wash load, try using a cap of comfort easy iron. It smells divine and I buy it now and again when I get fed up of the other cheaper fabric conditioners as the smell is so intense and I can really tell the difference as my clothes are softer - and a bit easier to iron which is a bonus!!! ;)

    Well, I did as the other poster said with the bleach and vinegar jobby, plus ran about 2 or 3 90 degree washes through as well, but to no avail :(

    Washing stills smells of bugg3r all :(

    Any other ideas guys?

    My Beko will be 14 in June :D I've always thought that my washing never smells of anything either compared to other peoples :confused: I was thinking that maybe we get used to our own smell so therefore we don't smell anything. If I change my powder I can smell a bit of something.
