What to do if the machine gets dirty? Cleaning and prevention

Hello everyone, help with advice, can anyone come across this. The machine began to smell creepy
In April I switched to Amway powder. Before using the machine, I boiled the machine with a descaling agent, cleaned it so to speak. I do this every six months. I think new powder, even if the machine is clean. The machine is 10 years old, I know that everything has not cleared up, but what to do. I used trizym for six months, a powder for white and colored clothes. And here's the misfortune, after six months of using Amway, the machine began to smell terrible. When the empty is standing, it is normal. The laundry starts to collect water and a terrible smell goes, and when it drains, it’s even worse. Yesterday I did the preventive maintenance again, the scale didn't jump out, but a lot of dirt poured out. Most likely, the powder raised all 10-year-old deposits of mud from the bottom of the tank or what? Has anyone come across this? I'm not a slob at all, I take care of the machine and my tray and under the tray and the filter my husband periodically cleans. Today I still boiled it my darling with whiteness, again the mud popped out. I rubbed it behind the rubber with a toothbrush - I washed it, but I can't go further. I was very upset. If all my procedures do not help, I don't even know what to do. I don’t want to open the machine, it’s old, but now it works well, but it’s worth climbing and starting ... Often, would-be masters even have spare parts.
Let's share our experience so that our washing machines only smell good and serve us for a long time and do not break.

Strong suspicion that these smells come from the sewer, where the drain from the car goes. The drain hose must be "W" -shaped, then a water seal is formed there, which isolates the machine from the sewer. Before all this manifested itself, did they do anything, did they move the machine? Have you changed the drain location?

[ledi]

lediFirst, discard the Amway powder, second, clean it with a canal at the place where the washing machine is drained, third, check if the machine washes in cold water?

[Andrei]

Andrei, The machine is not connected to the sewer. It drains into the bathtub, so after cleaning, I saw all this mud and dirt. Previously, pieces of scale popped out after cleaning, but this time only dirt

canal at the place where the wash

how is it? where is the hose attached ?. I am thinking how to clean the hose itself, or already change it ...
No, the machine heats the water. I checked it yesterday. I read on the internet that this could be. I erase in different modes 40,60, 9O degrees
Is it really powder? I gave that kind of money and bought the bleach again

[ledi]

ledi, You have a drain in the bath, everything is clear, there is nothing to check. It looks like a powder. Indicate which machine.

the old lady of the Korean assembly LG WD 10384 N I specially found the passport. And I deceived her exactly 10 years old, she turned 22 October and immediately began to panic, oh, I added age to my favorite

[ledi]

ledi, Have you washed the filter mesh in front of the pump for a long time?

[ledi]

ledi, I'm not sure, but they brought some foreign powder "Amway" to my relative. How happy she was - he did a wonderful job! If not for one "but" .... Not immediately, but after a while, literally ALL of her things acquired a terrible abre, the smell was like a mixture of "humanitarian aid" with the sewage system. Changing the powder helped - but again, not immediately

[ledi]

ledi, but maybe it's good that the powder cleaned the machine and all the dirt came out of it?

[ledi]

ledi, Have you washed the filter mesh in front of the pump for a long time?

which is below? as soon as the smell went, she asked her husband, said that there was nothing. And where water is collected three years ago.

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, I have enough powder for another six months, now there is such a crisis, I am not sure that I will throw it away. I was also unhappy with him. Veda add "trizyme" amplifier for the powder. And they say that this can badly affect the machine from this, and the smell, excess powder. I wanted the best, bought expensive powder, but it turned out even worse

[Maria]

Maria, Probably not all, if only all! I cleaned the gum near the gum, because it did not fall off, so it did not fall off inside. Today I'll boil it with whiteness again. Then I will report whether there will be a smell or not

[Vera]

Vera, so boil the washing gel yourself and try to wash it with it .... I think it certainly won't get any worse. I wash all household things with them, jeans and bed and towels. Purchased gel for silk and knitwear. By the way, home the gel significantly saves the family budget

I also had a smell with such a powder, and not only me.

[Tatyana]

TatyanaWhere can I find the recipe?

[Natasha]

NatashaAnd how do you fight him?

I myself faced such a situation a month ago. what I did - 1 - at the maximum temperature on the longest cycle, drive out an empty machine with powder, 2 - add soda and once again drive it at maximum speed (I also added domestos). 3- again with the powder at maximum speed. the smell is gone but not all. after several washes, it completely disappeared. but appeared after washing a sheep's woolen blanket. try it

and, here's what I did in the middle: The sequence of descaling the washing machine:

1. Close the door of an empty washing machine.
2. Put 3-4 tablespoons of citric acid in the washing powder section or pour in 100 ml of apple cider vinegar.
3. We select the boiling mode (90 degrees and more). Or the longest-running program for cottons.
4. Turn on the machine and wait for the program to finish.
Done! Your machine is now descaled and ready for use again!
in short, all this helped in the compartment!

poured 3 packs of lemon, and yes - there is nothing to powder here !!

[alenka_volga]

alenka_volga, Soda with Domestos is not foamed? Yesterday I cleaned with lemon and vinegar. And today the whole bottle is white, but without soda. ...

yes no, not foamed

Natasha, And how do you fight him?

Yes, no way, she finished the pack and no more! Why do I need an expensive powder with a dubious washing quality, and even with the smell of sewage from the machine after it.

Previously, distributor consultants warned that the first 2 washings with this powder should be carried out without laundry, supposedly the powder is so active that it dissolves the dirt that has settled in the machine and it can ruin the laundry, it looks like this happened in your case, the powder itself cannot "synthesize" dirt, most likely it washes out what has accumulated in the units of the washing machine for a long 10 years, and I think there should be a lot of this good, vinegar can only remove scale, and there, in addition to scale, there can be a lot

And today the whole bottle of whiteness

Famously...

Girls, as far as I know, in almost all machines the drum is held on a cross, which is made of silumin. And what does alkali do with aluminum? That's right, she eats it. ((

Whiteness and a similar Domestos with analogues have such a weak alkaline reaction, we know how fingers die off, becoming smooth-soapy. That is, whoever decided to wash it will wash it anyway, but you should not abuse it unless absolutely necessary.

Famously...

Lena, I understand with my head what I'm doing and I'm afraid. But there is no other way out. Do not wash clothes in water that gives off a sewer smell.

After the second boil with whiteness, the water came out of the machine clean, without flakes of dirt. Well, and will the smell disappear after a few days when washing

Ver, yes, I understand ... Plus, the machine is already a veteran, there's nowhere to go, either. I wrote more for those who do not have such nightmares - so that whiteness is not poured with bottles "for prevention.") A glass is enough for her.

Good luck, I hope everything works out.

[Tatyana]

TatyanaWhere can I find the recipe?

Found in our "Washing Powders". A bar of household soap (I take "Sarma" or "Friend" to remove stains) rub on a grater and pour boiling water. Pour boiling water over soda ash in a separate bowl. Mix the two mixtures and pour into a container for storage. For 100 g of soap - 100 g of soda (washing, that is, soda ash) and 3 liters of water. A bar of soap weighs 135-150 g, so I take 150 g of soda, and I need 4.5 liters of water, but I add more per liter - then it’s not so thick. Lying: crazy: in the drum, and not in the dispenser If all the tough it turned out - perez with a tab in the drum, I spread a ladle of gel in boiling water and pour it into the drum, but if I wash it at 60 degrees - it will dissolve itself.

: mail1: thanks !!!!!! And I have Soviet laundry soap

[Vera]

Vera, from the usual it can stink, the girls said The girls add aromatic oils But it seems to me that if it is the old (that is also, sovetskoe) soap, then it will wash no worse than the modern one with anti-stain. And to me personally, it smells of purity and nothing more, I am generally critical of all fragrances. For this reason, I use rinse aid only when I wash my husband's uniform, but there is a specific place of work (zone), so I use Schaub didn't stink

I am reporting! at the next wash a week later, the smell was, but not so strong. And only after a preliminary wash. After the main one no longer smelled. Or can it be that the machine does not drain water well and it stagnates there? Although spinning is normal, it does not drip from the laundry

[Vera]

Vera, I also have a washing machine "ARDO" very mature, she is 18 years old, the repairmen called me once (changed the pump) I have no complaints about washing, but when I read this topic, I remembered that my friend somehow persuaded to buy this powder and when I used it I also got a stench in the washing machine (I also attributed it to the age of the machine). The situation was the same with a lot of powder, the quality of the powder, to put it mildly, did not quite suit. Soon I learned about a gel that you can make with your own hands, I cooked the gel and used it mixed with Amveevsky powder, well, don't throw it away, I paid that kind of money for it. The smell from the car has long disappeared.
And I have been using the gel for a long time, for washing I put it in the amway drum and put it in the car.
My dishes, a gas stove, a toilet bowl (I add a little Domestos), sinks and everything that needs to be washed with the same means. The product washes well grease, salt deposits and heavy dirt.
Gel recipe wrote in this threadhttps://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=12915.4820
And I also wanted to write do not use whiteness and acids for the washing machine, they, at my discretion, can destroy the drum and negatively affect the rubber parts.
Don't worry about the bleach, it's good.

I will definitely make a gel now, as Tanya already advised above, thanks! And then there is still a lot of powder, I will also mix.
All the same, my suspicions are confirmed, their smell is due to the powder. More than one person has already written here. On the other hand, I am glad that the dirt has risen and that means the machine has become cleaner

Or can it be that the machine does not drain water well and it stagnates there? Although spinning is normal, it does not drip from the laundry

Perhaps the truth is, and not everything is in order with the pump, then, too, everything coincided with the use of powder and the smell and the pump was out of order. If, after replacing the detergent, the odor problems persist, then the master will need to be called.

[Natasha]

NatashaAnd how do you fight him?

I refused Amway powder for this very reason. She doesn't seem to be washing the laundry by smell. The laundry began to smell. And not washed / clean, namely musty. I will write only one thing, in terms of composition it is far from ice. There it is very selectively necessary to buy funds, read the compositions, analyze.
As I liquidated the powder, but used it in hand wash and mixed it with the usual one, I finished off the packaging, I also felt sorry for the money.
There is no way you can fight anymore.Auntie has been using this powder from the moment she appears, she is a distributor. All her things have this unpleasant smell, and even in the room of the typewriter and the typewriter itself inside smells so bad, but it's useless - it keeps on telling its own, as if it were running - her choice.

Perhaps this is not a topic where you need to discuss washing powders, but I really remember how long I got rid of this musty smell in all my laundry, and only after a while, after repeated washing and weathering on the street, the smell went away. How many "Lenora" were translated, but even that did not help. And sometimes, after all, the linen had to be dried indoors in inclement weather.

I always just add Calgon, as prevention and care - it seems to me the best remedy. It softens the water, which, in principle, has a good effect on laundry and things, and cleans the inside of the machine from accumulations of dirt, soap, powder, mold, etc., and therefore the smell has nowhere to come from.

Instead of a rinse aid (because of an allergy to it), I take a little vodka (I read it somewhere).
Vodka is odorless and seems to kill bacteria that cause bad odor.
And indeed, the laundry always smells good after washing, even when washed at 30 degrees.

[VikiKristina]

VikiKristinaThis is ordinary soda and, very mediocre, washing powder. Yes, soda softens the water, but it also costs several times cheaper than Calgon. You can add half a teaspoon of soda when washing, along with the powder, and there will be an effect. Cheap and cheerful.

I always just add Calgon, as prevention and care -

My brother works in a household furniture repair shop, so he says Calgon and citric acid are the same thing. Why pay more?

take some vodka

Vodka is an expensive means these days!

Quite right! After I became soda-soap gel, I began to look after the toilet and noticed that no plaque formed on it and it always shines like new. This means that the interior of the washing machine is also safely washed away. And if you read the instructions for using soda ash ...
They just sell us Kalgon for big money.

I've been adding calcium to the dishwasher for a month now. soda for preliminary wash and a little detergent powder for PMM. Thus, powder saving. Without it, a white bloom is obtained. You should try alcohol instead of rinse aid. The alcohol in the pharmacy is probably cheaper than vodka.

[Marina]

Marina, I don't have a dishwasher, so I can't check the use of soda in it, but since you started using soda, try using glycerin as a rinse aid, it will get rid of the white bloom. I suggest you read the article 🔗 on the use of glycerin. For a long time I thought that it was only applied externally ...

[Ira Doka]

Ira Doka, and where can you buy glycerin?

Sold at the pharmacy.

[Ira Doka]

Ira Doka, Thank you. And I somehow thought that it is not sold now, as an explosive. Generally, I love the cream with glycerin. And I know that this is a terribly useful thing in the household.

Sell, sell I myself recently bought for 12 rubles.

A good powder contains both softeners and car care products. You don't need to add anything extra. Calgon is the same money scam as Amway and stuff.Now there are enough good powders for reasonable money.

Some kind of horror, to buy an expensive powder and then wash the laundry and clean the car so that this super-powder stops stinking ...

Now there are enough good powders for reasonable money.

I used to wash with Ariel, but I bought a large pack of 15 kg, it was enough for me for a year, it is of better quality since it is not packaged in Ukraine. And I was very pleased with the linen, everything was washed. And then damn, I fell for this emway

Eh, the master will probably have to call. This smell has already got me
Maybe someone will come in handy
