I have only washed my machine once, and probably won't do it again. I really didn't notice any difference before and after. Instead I've being adding vinegar and bicarb to each load since just after Cai started the Laundry Solutions thread. I'm not sure I notice any difference with that either, but I don't think I've had the little greasy flecks in my washing since.

I wipe down the drum if it looks grotty after a wash, and I often wipe around the top of the drum where the water goes in, etc, and dismantle the centre where the softener goes and the filter underneath. But this filter never looks very dirty, so I don't know if there is another one somewhere, though if there is, it involves swinging a spanner to get to it.

I do an "empty" wash once a month, bicarb, hot water & vinegar. Plus give a wipe down around the top of the drum etc
