Lengthen your washing machine’s lifespan and follow this guide on how to look after your washing machine. Whether you’re wanting to find out how to clean your washing machine, or just some general maintenance tips, The Good Guys have got you covered.
A build-up of fabric softener and washing detergent can cause nasty smells, mould or limescale to form in your washing machine’s detergent drawer. Luckily, these drawers are removable so make for easy cleaning.
1. Soak the removed detergent drawer in warm water in a wash basin and use a cloth or toothbrush to remove any stubborn residues. 2. Ensure you dry the drawer thoroughly before reinserting it back into your washing machine.
Please note: Some washing machines have a detergent drawer self-clean setting so be sure to check your product guide before cleaning the drawer yourself.
In addition to leaving your clothes squeaky clean, washing machines often collect any loose materials such as buttons, coins and excess fluff in their filter. If your machine isn’t working efficiently, it could be because your filter is clogged up.
1. Turn off your washing machine and water supply. 2. In case your filter is so blocked it has become waterlogged, lay out towels to soak up the potential water spill. 3. Remove the filter from the machine and discard the materials that have caused the clogging (often coins or loose buttons) and use hot water to dislodge any remaining build-up.
Please note: Some washing machines have a self-clean filter function, so be sure to consult with your product guide before attempting to clean the filter yourself.
A simple home recipe of vinegar, or Hillmark’s Scalexplus Appliance Cleaner , can help to remove odours and limescale from your washing machine drum and improve the quality of future washes.
1. Remove all contents from your washing machine 2. Add a cup of white vinegar or one sachet of Scalexplus into the drum 3. Apply a hot wash to your washing machine (70°c plus) 4. When the cycle is complete, leave the drum to air dry with the washer-door left open
Please note: To find the recommended cleaning method for your washing machine's drum be sure to check your supplier specific product guide.
The seals of your washing machine’s drum are a common culprit for hiding bacteria and excess lint. It’s a good idea to clean these seals regularly to avoid bad odours and also prevent any collected debris from attaching itself to your newly cleaned clothes as you remove them from the drum.
Two methods of cleaning: 1. Pour white vinegar onto a cloth and wipe away the built-up materials. 2. OR use anti-bacterial wipes to clean the affected area.
Please note: You must always check your product guide to see what the recommended method of cleaning is for your washing machine’s seals.
While you don’t need to thoroughly clean your washing machine after every clothes wash, there’s a few good measures you can take in order to help your washing machine work it’s best.
1. Leave the washing machine door and detergent drawer open after every wash to let air flow through, avoiding any common damp odours. 2. Give the seal a quick wipe after every wash to prevent any bacteria build-up. 3. Check your detergent for instructions on the measurements to use in order to sidestep that gunk build-up.
