Also, by cleaning, to dispel any odours, and maintain efficiency by eliminating any build-up of limescale on the heating elements.

I am currently private renting my property so when we moved in almost 2 years ago it already had most appliances including a washing machine. Last week we noticed we are getting more and more build up of mould around the rim of the washing machine and as a newbie to all this I trotted off to sainsburys in search of some solution to our washing machine problems. Have to say was slightly disappointed as there wasn't much on offer, perhaps if I had gone to a more specialist shop I would have had more options. nonetheless I came across Dr Beckmann Service-it Deep Clean Washing machine cleaner.

When we rented our first property together three years ago, one of the first items that we purchased was a digital washing machine.

A quick wipe around now and again on the external surface maybe but not a full wash, after all it washes all the time, how could it get dirty?

Having looked around a few shops I soon realised that there wasn't actually alot available for this, and this was the only product I could find. So I purchased a box of this, at around £1.50. It contained enough ... more

Dr Beckmann Service-It Washing Machine Cleaner is an okay product but not something we went out looking for. It was going cheap at only 75p in Home Bargains so we bought one thinking that our machine was beginning to smell a bit stale from old water, we thought and also due to the fact that we use it a lot and it is an old machine anyway. It cost as I say 75p but I have seen this in Tesco for £1.95 so I thought we had got a bit of a bargain. One box will give you one washing machine clean and no more and the box also recommends that you use this once approximately every three months. First we ... more
