Best Washing Machine Cleaner for Deep Cleaning?

[samuelerutter]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations on washing machine cleaners. Lately, my machine has started to smell a bit musty, and I’ve noticed some residue buildup around the drum and detergent drawer.

I’m considering using a washing machine cleaner to tackle limescale, mold, and detergent deposits, but I’m unsure which type works best.

I’ve seen both powder and liquid options, as well as eco-friendly alternatives. How often should I use a washing machine cleaner to maintain hygiene?

Any tips or personal experiences with particular brands would be really helpful.

For musty smells and residue, a good routine cleaner really helps. In my experience, powder cleaners tend to work best for deep cleaning because they break down limescale and detergent buildup more effectively, while liquid options are great for regular monthly maintenance. Most people use a cleaner once a month, especially if they wash on low temperatures often.


I’ve been upgrading a lot of my cleaning tools lately — even picked up a Dustin self emptying robotic vacuum cleaner — and honestly, pairing that with a proper washing machine cleaner keeps the whole laundry area feeling fresh.
