Washing Machine Clean

This method comes from a plumber who came to our home on a call out, he recommended that the best way to clean your washing machine is with Sodium Carbonate (also known as washing soda or soda crystals) and here's how easy it is to do!

1. Measure out approx 500g of washing soda

2. Split 50:50 into the detergent draw and directly in the drum of your washing machine

3. Run on an empty cleaning cycle or hot  cycle

​

This method will remove gunk and bacteria. If you see black bits after the first cycle it means that the dirt build up has been lifted and needs flushing out, so repeat the steps again to remove the remaining gunk. To maintain your washing machine it is recommended to clean it approx once a month.

 

For a deeper clean: remove the draw and filter and give them a scrub. Wipe down the drum including the rubber seal. Then run steps 1, 2 and 3.   ​
