How do I clean my washing machine?

[Pandora]

i was going to say i did a vinegar wash in ours and now everything still smells of vinegar 2 weeks later Im glad we're getting a new one soon

[Danni]

Did you use hot water Ray?

Ive never had a vinegar smell afterwards.... weird!

Those little black flecks could also be slimy bits of mould. You know like in the kids bath toys?

we were told to put a cup of powder dishwash in the machine with SUPER hot water aggitate a bit and let sit over night then rinse it out!
