4. What my mum and I do for cleaning the washer machine is fill it with warm water, 4 tablespoons of baking soda and add 1/4 of a gallon of white vinegar, leave it rest the whole night and then start a regular cycle in the morning with cold water. It will even smell like clean plastic, like when it's brand new. You can do this at least four times a year.

6. Can you help please. The rubber seal around my washing machine door seems to have some sort of black algae/slime on it and I can't get it off. When I take my washing out of the machine it rubs against the seal and marks. Any idea on how to get the seal clean? I also get a build up of mould in my drawer, which i have to clean regular, is there anything i can do to prevent this from happening?

10. Hi Holly, I had this exact same problem and couldn't figure it out for ages. What had happened was that a coin had got stuck in the rubber seal around the door, and was gently festering away in there. It was very well hidden within the rubber seal. Perhaps you've got a renegade coin somewhere inside your machine?

12. Hi - I have stupidly put a towel with turps on in our washing machine and now it stinks. Have tried washing with nothing in at 90 degrees (quite a few times), soda crystals and white vinegar. It still smells awful, does anyone have any other ideas please.

18. hi i have the same problem. alo when i start the washing machine i get a stink bomb smell from the sink. I have an idea of what it might be, and it might be whats rong with yours. I think its the pipes, they might not be itting right, so the water is backing up back into the washing machine. thats my theory. let me no if theis helps. then do what they do wuth the white vinegar. =]

22. Instead of dusting a room with dry duster use a flannel that has just been washed and smells of fabric conditioner, not only do you not get sut clouds but the room smells lovely too ! Not suitable for wood furniture however.

23. Hi, In reply to Susan Short, have you tried using a whitening toothpaste and an old toothbrush. It must be a whitening toothpaste as it is the whitening toothpaste which contains very gentle bleaching properties. Apply the toothpaste, scrub around with the toothbrush, rinse away with a clean cloth and ensure the seal is perfectly dry to prevent the build up staring all over again. This method I have used in the past but admittedly, it was on my fridge seals. My other thought would be to try clear vinegar as it is 5% acidic, it may kill the bacteria which has built up in the washing machine seal. This is just a thought though, I haven't actually tried it.
