Washing machines do a lot of work in the average family home. But even they need some cleaning at times.
There are moulds and mildews associated with the white goods, and maintaining the machine will make sure your clothes are as fresh as possible. If not cleaned often enough, the machine can begin omitting an unusual smell, and sometimes the seal around the washing machine can become mouldy and gross, says MirrorOnline.
A poster on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook page has come to the rescue with a miracle spray that's available from the Poundshop. One woman anonymously posted: "Help. I've neglected our washing machine since becoming a mum and now it has a buildup of black on the seal that I can't seem to wipe off.
"Any suggestions, please? Thank you."
The picture she posted to accompany it showed unsightly tiny black spots all over the seal.
The most common recommendation was a simple spray product that costs just £1 from the Poundshop, with one social media user claiming they picked one up for just 95p in Wilko.
One wrote: "Astonish Mould and Mildew spray. If you use this you'll find that the mould wipes straight off."
"This stuff is really good", someone agreed. "Recently I used it in the detergent drawer and where the water comes out. It’s a game changer for removing black buildup and only costs 95p from Wilkos."
Another praised: "Astonish Mould and Mildew. Spray it on and leave it for a few minutes and it'll all come off."
