Who does this and how often?
If you leave the machine door open it hardly needs cleaning at all. No nasty smelly algy if it's dry.
Depends on whether you wash Boett rugs in the summer.
This is what he is on about:
The part that can contact the clothes is cleaned with every wash, so never accumulates mould. The part the does not touch the clothes, well it doesn't touch the clothes!
Yeah but it can stink. Ever since I changed the door seal on our Zanussi (what a bitch of a job!), we've dried the doorseal after use, and left the door ajar.
I've never smelt anything, on a Hoover, Zanussi, Bosch, or Servis.
This seems to be partly down to the detergent. Never had any problem with Persil bio, even without ever doing hot programmes.
I don't get any mould on the door seal. The interior of the dispenser drawer is a different matter.
Water is very soft here so I never use more than 60g of Tesco Value powder; usually I use half that amount.
I've never seen mould anywhere.
I always chuck the powder directly into the drum.
Difficult from a large box.
Cant say I find any difficulty doing that

You get the clothes in & out without letting them touch any other part of the seal? (Besides, black mould is unhealthy in other ways.)
How big is the box? Mine is taller than the entrance to the drum.
The parts that would go mouldy are the wet parts. Those parts are washed by the machine.
I use a measuring scoop.
Oh right. I'm lazy I just pour a random amount in the drawer. The drawer can't get mouldy it's rinsed through every load.
Pull the drawer itself out & look at the top of the slot it goes in.
You mean a bit that never gets touched by anything? Who cares?
