I love the delivery. Too good. I actually went through without skipping any seconds. ☺

This was so entertaining to watch “don’t forget to put your partners toothbrush back” I’m dead 🤣

You forget an important last step: rewash all your clothes now because there's no way you'll be able to let them touch your skin after witnessing what they've being washed with. Thanks a lot, this was really helpful!

You can the overfilled the washing machine with Calgon;

I followed all your procedures and smell continued. I discovered the element was broken and needed to be replaced. Your video set me in the right direction to discover what was at fault 👍

Thank tou

Hello there, Thank you for this video, it’s very helpful. My washing machine keeps on giving an error. It’s says open faucet. But it is wide open. What should I do?

Hi what dio you think of Calgon, The Pink Stuff limescale cleaner, baking soda or vinegar for getting smells and build up of calcium etc out? Great vid btw- my 2 year old Candy was fine until I started doing a lot of 309 deg washes, i used to "waste electric" asnd do 60 deg for anything that could handle it. Going back to that too. Good info- thank you.

Wow ❤😊

You ain’t the worse I know ppl use their partner’s toothbrush to clean the toilet 😂😂 Jokes aside, you are so funny and knowledgable! I have recommended your channel to friends already!

Nice video, currently waiting for my 90c wash with the cleaning powder to finish. Fingers crossed it will do the job. I think this is the one major disadvantage of doing colder washes - with modern detergents you can still get your clothes clean at 30c, but the machine builds up bacteria far faster than "back in the day" when people were washing at 60c+ on a regular basis. Still, running a high temp wash every 6 months or so is probably way cheaper than washing daily at higher temps.

Well actually, my partner doesn't have any teeth so maybe I could get away with just using their pound-shop mouth wash !! Seriously, a very informative video with lots of good ideas that I will try. Thank you very much !!

Thank you for all the information? By the way, do you have a video on how to install a washing machine 😉

You always say right let's get cracking.

Lol thanks G

My machine is 15yeara old. I have only ever used liquid cleaner. It has never been serviced. Would be nervous to mess with the U bend. Didn't realise there might be a service wash option. Just wondering if you know if Bicarbonate of soda could be used to clean it. Or I shall need to go out looking for the Dr Powder you recommended. I hope it is not hard to find.

Got life

My washing machine filter wouldn't budge whatever I tried, then I just tried an old fold up mobile phone from years ago, and it worked! There was nothing stuck in there but loads of water came out. Hopefully my clothes will smell better next time.

I don’t have any u bend on my drainage pipe ... constantly blocking and making floods, hence i drain directly in sink - so the pipe of the wash machine spits ribbed copies of its insides gunk... Cleaning it in all sorts of ways and its new machine Can low water pressure in the block of flats cause it?!

Good god man, your washing machine is cleaner than your toothbrush!

😂😂 partners toothbrush. What if you don't have a partner? Neighbours or favourite family member? Thanks for video very helpful.

Not sure why I got French subtitles on this but they are just as amusing as the commentary.

Partner tooth brush hahahahahahah thanks mate its helpful

i have same dispencer drawer and dont know how to get it out please help

Now I know what I have been missing, I need to start using the right tool -- partner's toothbrush

i think my grandma got a limited edition bosch

Hi! I took out my soap drawer and behind it was a lotttt of mold. How do i flush this black stuff away after scrubbing it loose? can i put a small hose in? or do i kill the machine by doing so? I couldnt get it all away with a cloth and now all my clothes smell like shit and have these loose black stains :/

What are the active ingredients of your cleaner? The two main ingredients of affresh are 65% Sodium percarbonate or oxygen bleach aka oxiclean, and 15% Sodium carbonate or washing/baking soda. Also read citric acid and oxyclean..

Haven't got a partner with a toothbrush to borrow. Any alternatives?

A moment of silence for all single people

By the way our clothes have a stain still after soak it over night.. What do you think the problem is?

I have a Samsung VRT steam Front load washing machine when I open the door it smells gross like mildew or something it smells like gross mildew when you open the door it’s not too bad but it still smells Gross do you know how to fix this

When you say soapy water, do you mean washing up liquid, hand soap or liquid antibacterial soap? Thanks.

Can't one use baking soda

Yeah, a couple of months back I accidentally used a toothbrush for my teeth that I had been using to clean gunk off a toilet with.

just chuck in a bottle of clear vinegar and a pot of Bi Carb Soda , 60 degree wash . Smell free.

U r funny man 😅 hope your wife haven't used the tooth brush lol

I dont have an Aiphoun, can I use my Samsung or Nokia, or maybe make a drawing of the problem?

nice

how do you deal with rattilng noises my washing machine has one

Can I remove my sink plumbing without affecting my washing machine?

And vinegar cleaning after soda cleaning??

Stop using liquid detergent…use dry powdered detergent…No more mold!!, Trust me!!

🎣😡😃😃😀😅😂😇🥰😘😚🤪🤩🤩😣😢😤👺👹👿😈👅👄🦷👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👣👣👣👣🗣🗣🗣👨🏽‍🦰👨🏽‍🦰👮🏼

Thank you. My clothes are smelling a lot fresher. I also found a coin in my drain. I was a bit luckier than you, I had a £1 coin in mine 😏

#partnerstoothrbush epic!

My washing machine is 4 years old. I never use fabric softener, and put liquid detergent straight into the drum. Also I do regular 60 and 90 degree washes. I never did a maintenance wash because the machine looks completely spotless. Using a shit load of fabric softener and liquid detergent and only washing at 30 or 40 degrees will kill a machine.
