Hello everybody it's 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel I'm here to save you time and
money and today how to keep your washing machine hygienically clean and fresh,
right let's get cracking, the first thing you need to do is make sure that your
dispenser drawer is nice and clean so you want to give it a good clean-out make
sure there's no mould or gunk in there, and there's a link above now about how
to keep this in good order, to clean the washing machine drum you can use a small
amount of detergent in the main washing detergent drawer here and on this Bosch
washing machine we've actually got a drum clean option but if you haven't got
a drum clean option put it on the cotton setting or a cleaning cycle program then
select a speed or Eco wash because you don't need it to be two and a half hours,
and then you want to select the hottest that it'll go to and most washing
machines this will be 90 degrees centigrade, so make sure that you select
90 degrees but I've got some of this washing machine cleaner which goes
straight inside the drum, before I put the washing machine cleaner directly
into the drum I'm just going to check the rubbers in here make sure there's no
dirt or debris and if there is just give it a really good clean so just got a few
bits of debris here you've got some drainage holes here and you can see
there's a bit of dirt and scum here so let's just get rid of that, let's just
take a nice wet soapy cloth and just give that a good clean, now you want to
be doing this every couple of months just to keep it in tip-top condition,
right that's sorted, now we can put in the washing machine cleaner and do the
drum clean so let's just open up the drum door and
what we do is we just pour it directly inside the drum, whilst I'm doing that
there's a link above about how to install a brand new washing machine, this
washing machine powder gets rid of any unpleasant odours and keeps the washing
machine hygienically fresh, and ideally you're meant to do this every two to
three months or after every 30 washing cycle,s now on this particular Bosch
VarioPerfect Serie 4 washing machine we've actually got a drum clean
option, this will automatically clean the drum out and set it to 90 degrees so
let's hit the Start button and off we go, now be careful when it's
doing this washing cycle because it is 90 degrees centigrade which is almost
boiling point so the glass on the front of the washing machine will get very
very hot, so make sure you keep any young children away from this, now obviously
it's a given that you run this drum care program without any laundry don't put
any clothes inside the washing machine while it's doing this, and there's a link
above now about what to do if your washing machine is not draining water,
the drum clean option on this Bosch washing machine takes just over an hour
so I'm gonna condense all the footage and we get to the stage where it
goes soapy soapy suds suds, look now it's getting really really soapy giving it a
really really good clean inside and the glass is extremely hot now, and there's a
link above now about how to activate the child lock on this Bosch washing
machine, this is a Bosch Serie 4 VarioPerfect model,
and now it's doing a bit of a final rinse the water is still very hot at
this stage so be very careful, and there's a link above now about washing
machine How to Guides lots of various different makes and models of washing
machines and lots of top tips in there, and we've finally come to an end
and this is now looking sparkling clean and smells absolutely fresh as a daisy,
very fresh, and now it's definitely time for a lovely cup of tea, if you found
