To clean the drum of your Bosch washing machine, you can follow these simple steps:
1. Start by unplugging the washing machine from the power source to ensure safety.
2. Remove any clothes or items from the drum and check for any loose debris or foreign objects. Remove them if found.
3. Prepare a cleaning solution by mixing equal parts of white vinegar and water. You can also add a few drops of dish soap for extra cleaning power.
4. Dip a clean cloth or sponge into the cleaning solution and wipe down the inside of the drum, paying special attention to any stains or buildup.
5. For tougher stains or residue, you can use a soft brush or toothbrush to scrub the affected areas gently.
6. Once you have thoroughly cleaned the drum, fill the detergent dispenser with the cleaning solution and run a hot water cycle on your washing machine. This will help to flush out any remaining residue or odor-causing bacteria.
7. After the cycle is complete, open the door of the washing machine and allow it to air dry. This will help prevent any moisture buildup and potential mold growth.
8. Finally, wipe down the exterior of the washing machine with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or grime.
It is recommended to clean the drum of your Bosch washing machine at least once every couple of months to maintain its efficiency and prevent any unpleasant odors. Regular cleaning will also help prolong the lifespan of your machine.
