We recommend that you should clean the inside of your machine at least once per month. We call this a ‘maintenance wash’. At the end of each cycle there may be a build-up of sludgy deposits of undissolved soap powder and fabric conditioner along with lime scale. This build up can sometimes result in a pungent or bad smell coming from the drum and a regular maintenance cycle will clean away this unwanted build up. It’s simple! Just put the empty machine on a hot 60 degree cotton cycle! You may add a special cleaner to make the maintenance wash more effective, or a descaling additive to keep your machine hygienically clean, smelling fresh and working efficiently. So when your clothes will come out of the machine smelling clean and fresh!

Hoover have produced our own cleaning product called ‘Care plus Protect’ which gives really good results when used once per month by not just cleaning the machine but also removing any lime scale build up. More information can be found in the informative video clip.

Making sure the soap tray and dispenser compartment are kept clean will help to get rid of any nasty smells and your clothes will come out clean and fresh at the end.

Open the soap drawer and grasp the sides to pull it out for cleaning. Wash it out in warm water with an antibac cleaner, pay attention to the conditioner syphon. Pull the cap and clean it along with the tube to remove any soap deposits.

Clean away this type of brown mouldy gunk seen here

With the dispenser drawer removed it will be possible to clean inside the dispenser compartment using a damp cloth and some anti bac type detergent. If you look up at the top of the compartment you will see a series of holes give these holes a good clean and remove any excess soap and gunk. Take the soap drawer to your kitchen sink and give it a good clean out with warm water and anti bac cleaner.
