- Do Dishwasher Tablets Actually Clean Washing Machines - Urban Myth Explorer. So much hype in social media about this, but does it work? Why would dishwasher tablets perform any better?

Lmaoooo
I have to adress that using a dishwasher tablet is both safe and effective. I did tests with 4 different kind of dishwasher tablet/packs, none where corrosive to aluminium, this is important, because the spider assembly=aluminium. Don't use baking soda or soda crystals, both corrode aluminium. Other option: White vinegar, is also completely safe to use, dosage: 1cup=2,5dl.
Even when using these types of cleaning solutions any risk of metal corrosion is minimal when considering the frequency of use.
Vinegar is very bad for the tubes! It will be hardened and crack after a while and you will damage it! Don't use vinegar if you have rubber and soft plastics! Not in your washing machine, not in your coffee machine...
1)Use the recommended amount of detergent in each wash. Avoid the habit of using excessive amounts of detergent. It will leave a coating on your clothes and machine seals that won’t come out during the rinse cycle. 2) I try to avoid liquid softener. The stuff leaves a waxy coating in the dispenser, seals and drum. 3) wipe down the seals and gaskets 4)leave the door open after each use 5) run a clean cycle with washing machine cleaner every other week 6) clean the washing filter every other month.
Top tips👍👍
Were on washing machine is filter.
The secret door at bottom @michealpower4372
I have a beko washing machine.. where is the filter? How do I get it out, and what do I clean it with? Please! 😂
I've got the Dr Beckmann Service It Deep Clean sachets to try and also new Calgon tablets that I'll use regularly when I get a new washing machine- but for now - I just want the scum out of the rubber in the door if anyone can help 😢 #sendhelpnowwww😅 please and thanks 😂
I don’t see how a dishwasher tablet would ruin the seals considering it’s safe for a dishwasher which has such type of seals and dishwashers keep a tad bit of water in them after each cycle so the seals don’t dry up.
You can always run an empty rinse program afterwards to wash away any residue from the dishwasher tablets
Top tip👍
Can you do this on a 20 minute wash cycle ?
Good tip! I just learned it last week. It is better to put something in the washer, like old rags. Also top up the tank just after the fill cycle to get more grime out and stop the washing machine after heating for about 30-60min.
👍👍👍👍😎
At 66 yrs old and having had two children I’ve been through a few washing machines and in the past have done some of my own DIY repairs, replacing pumps bearings and the like before drums became sealed units. Black gunge around the seals was never an issue until low temperature washes became the norm. To combat this do a high temperature wash to kill any bacteria and disperse build up. I live in a very hard water area and have never seen the amount of build up they show in the calzone TV adverts. Just scare mongers tactics to get you to buy their product.
in the maintence manual for mine it says to use the afresh washer cleaning tablet every 30 days or 30 washes
ALSO never close the washer lid when its not in use
@@monkeyoperator1360 We also use the Affresh tablets in the cleaning cycle in our Amana front loader. As empty nesters (no kids) it’s only about four loads a week on average. Wiping down the seals with a clean rag after the cleaning cycle is also recommended. Not sure how this presenter let this one go so long without even wiping out the seal.
Hi !
Hi temperature wash combined with a dishwasher tablet ,do you think would do the job ?
Thanks !
There are various washing machine cleaning fluids you can purchase for a few pounds at your local supermarket that you can use at say once a month to give the machines internal pipes etc a clean. Follow the machines manufactures instructions if in doubt. That combined with a high temperature was now and then and leaving the door open for an hour or so after a wash has alway# worked on my machines.
A point to note is that when there was only washing powder available there was the risk of it not dissolving fully where as with washing liquid it seems to dissolve/mix easier in the water so less residue left behind, but that’s only my opinion.
High temp actually increases bacteria growth
I domt understand why people say the brown water is just dye from the tablet. Like yellow and white does not make brown and even if it did it wouldn't be that noticeable
Are u james charles??????
Finally! Someone shows the entire process!
It was fun making it 😃
I've found finish tablets to be the best. Calton still has better cleaning power
Dishwasher tablets do not foam up. Otherwise you would get loads of foam everytime in your dishwasher. The foam you’re seeing here is residue that has built up in the machine from liquid/gel and fabric softener.
Do yourself a favour and use a POWDER detergent. Powders contain oxy bleach which will help with stain removal and keep the washing machine clean
Top advic3👍👍
The problem with powder detergent is that it doesn't melt on an eco wash, which is what is recommended for energy and water efficiency
@@dustyfruitypie1633 or commercial washers either I hate powder
Leave the door open a bit to dry the residual water to prevent mould and mildew forming. Or put in a dehumidifier in there to collect the moisture.
that ending with the music is an experience of its own !
😃👍
Washing machine seals and dishwasher seals are made from the same material, the tabs won’t ruin your washer seals. Has anyone tried these on a top loader?
Should be the same for top loaders regards seals.
Depending on the type of toploader you have, you might need 3 tablets. they tend to use a lot more water than a front loader.
I just bought a used washing machine, thought I would give the whole nine yards of a clean, so I put 4x dishwasher all in one pods, 6x scoops of oxi cleaner, a squirt of bleach, a dash of clothes detergent and a dash of elbow grease degreaser spray and put it on a 90 degree wash with extra rinse selected. It was getting way too foamy at 35 minutes in so I cancelled and did two rinse cycles. My fault for over egging the pudding. I think just two dishwasher tablets and a squirt of bleach would probably be OK.
Sounds like you nuked it😎👍
You should never mix so many chemicals together some of them can reach with eachother
@@sebek0311 l pm pm
Mixing OxiClean and bleach is potentially combustible, and results in a toxic gas because the OxiClean breaks down into hydrogen peroxide. NEVER mix bleach with any other chemical! If you really want to clean grime, I say skip the bleach because more often than not, it’s harmful and not as effective as hydrogen peroxide or vinegar.
- Sincerely, a house cleaner
Think I’d give the bleach a miss though. Expose rubber to bleach enough times and it will start degrading. Shouldn’t use it on Lino/vinyl floor tiles either as it corrodes the top protective coating. That’s why hospitals stopped their cleaners using it.
Back in the days I used Skip cold water auto powder, after 10 years of use no gunk. When I stripped it to replace the bearings it was as clean as a whistle. These days they don't make quality stuff.
Cold water washes used all the time gunk up the insides unless hot washes are used occasionally.
yup, your right.
Fabric softener is the enemy to washing machines, it leaves a greasy like film, hence the greasy feeling and causes mould in dispenser of machine and smells. I use bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar to clean add essential if you like. Then once a month use a hot wash (95c) and leave door open on machine after every wash.
Agree with that, Low temperature washing with gel is bad for residue problems, but a 95c wash will clear it out.
My machines manual said to dry the seal with a clean towel and leave the door ajar if possible to significantly help with mould, mildew and other biological problems such as bacterial growths
Sounds good.
I use dishwasher tablets for cleaning alot of things might have ago at this in my washing machine cant do any harm thanks for the tip
Hi, what else do you use them for? Any cleaning hacks/tips welcome 😂
If people stopped using quick wash and 30degree washes all the time there wouldn’t be a problem
Use cottons wash or synthetics, colours on 40degrees, whites on 60, degrees and towels etc use 90degrees, simple my machine gets used a lot,and is 7 years old and there’s no mould or scale in my machine, stop using liquids and those hideous gel tablets,
Use biological powder all the time, use t he extra rinse on every wash, bio powder has water softener in it, the gels etc leave a film on the inside of the tub this builds up over time and creates a filthy unhealthy sludge, If your not bothered about your clothes being clean then carry on with quick wash if you care then use e the normal programs it’s also cheaper to use a 2 hour wash it’s all to do with the gentle heating of the water instead of using 20oo watts straight away 2 hour wash is 900 watts This dude knows what he’s saying and I’m proper impressed, ( I qualified as washing machine engineer when’s I was 17 so know what I’m saying) most machines were written off because of the mould and gunk inside that ruined the bearings a the heating element
Top marks👍
also try a cotton ear bud to clean the drain holes in the door rubber seal ..mine came out black but my grey rubber seal looked clean .i think it was restricting the draining level from the inside
Top tip👍
I tried it today, only one tab on 90 degrees celsius. Omg, i saved the water in a bucket, very dirty water, smelling like rotting eggs. I normally do it with vinegar. This is better..
Amazing isn't it.
Vinegar shrinks rubber seals after a while
How do you drain water from machine
@@marianking1379 it depents on which machine you have.
@@purgie right thanks , mine won't do that , l looked at it today , not much gunk at all so maybe use soda crystals x
Why do people wash clothes in water colder than piss 🐑🐑
Great way to clog up your machine alreet
You going to have to do it quite a few more times to get rid of the rest and use a wet cloth to go all the way around it with the same stuff that you use no come up clean
Baby wipes and a repeat process using a powerball dishwasher tab instead sorted it.
What’s the setting for slow/low spin ?
Should be on the program panel👍
You will have even better results if you put a load of old rags in there and top it up with extra water through the soap drawer....enough to top up the load a couple of inches up the door.
The rags cause the drum to agitate the water between the outer and inner drum and the extra water let's it really soak up high enough.
Sounds good👍
Good video; bad sound due to music entirely too loud. I don't understand why videos all play music, I watch videos because I need the information , guidance, & help, not for background music,
Glad you liked the video👍
I drop a dishwashing tab in a thermos, fill it with boiling water, then let it sit for several hours. It comes out sparkling clean.
Calgon say put their tablets in the washing machine in the wash together with the normal detergent (only enough for a soft water wash, not hard). Calgon is famous for anti-scale, will it also clean a washing machine like we have seen here?
As far as i know Calgon is a water softener used in areas of hard water to reduce limescale.
@@fiveminuteman
Their bumph is vague, implying it cleans the machine.
Hi Really useful video, do you have to drive out or can you just been and empty the washing machine as normal? Thank you
Let the washing machine perform uts normal hot cycle. Best bet to avoid mould in door rubbers is to leave door slightly ajar when not in use.👍😉
another suggestion is citric acid or killrock descaler on on a cottons 90 or baby 90 which is longer and gives more througher descale time
Top tip👍
Put 5 tablets and a bottle of pure lemon juice in there you can also try to get stuff called iron out three scoops a lot and I'll keep it clean that's tough to get around the Rubber and stuff like that use Bim get it nice and soapy and a sponge and just rub it down
Sounds good to me👍😎
Will putting it on spin make a difference at all? because I can't turn the spin off on my machine to do this operation
I ran mine with a drain/spin cycle at the end no problem.
Wouldn't it make more sense to use dishwasher cleaner fluid as it's designed to clean the system?
Never tried that, but for simplicity chucking in a tablet is quick and easy.
@@fiveminuteman and cheaper
Might as well buy an washing machine cleaner then
Is underloading a washing machine also bad thing? will my washer get damaged due to under load?
Dont think so, would think over loading is more problematic.
I think underloading with heavy items is not great, creates an imbalance during spin.
Would this take the smell away ??
Sure does then just leave door open slightly to ventilate
Spot on cheers
Do dishwasher pods work too?
Yep👍
What’s with the frog ?
Good spot. Got the idea feom 80s show 'The Young Ones'
If you shut doors and don’t let the seals to dry out completely that’s what happens
Mine are like brand new
Shutting the door after use tends to promote mould in some cases.
Get a top load washer.
Wow, dont think you can even get those relics in the UK
I cannot believe people don't clean out the rubber seal and draw after every single use that gung in the machine draw and seal is disgusting all of the machines I had over many years have been cleaned after Evey single wash and a descaler wash once a month that also includes removal of the drain filter makes me sick to see some of these machines at the beginning of the year I was awaiting the arrival of a new beko machine and a friend said I could use hers in the mean time when she popped out of the kitchen I looked in the drum and draw absolutely disgusting when she came back I said thank but I'd wait the day my new machine was a month old she came over for coffee and I was descaler the machine she said I've had mine for twenty years and I've never cleaned it or the dish washer I said that why stuff smells and your white never look clean she recently bought both new and is now religiously cleaning them
It's a nightmare isnt it! We clean ours all the time as OCD helps keep it clean😉👍
@@fiveminuteman I don't have OCD I just can't stand smelly clothes and it doesn't take long to do if you clean it monthly as I do I don't have loads of money to throw around and I need my washing machine to last as long as possible I also use a Calgon tablet or the liquid in every wash my previous machine had started out as a shared machine between four others as I lived in shared accommodation the first time I saw it I thought how absolutely disgusting and I spent a fortune on stuff to get it back to clean and fresh even my landlord said it had never looked so good one women complained to him that I cleaned it far too much he said no it should be cleaned between each residents use un known to her as she'd put her washing on then go to work for the day I'd restart the programme adding Calgon and a decent liquid to her wash she never said anything about the nice smell but did complain to the land lord other residents were emptying her washing and putting it in her wash basket he told her we all had a right to and said you cannot leave your washing in beyond the programme ending
@@kymclinton3140 we do😳👍 Most probs in my opinion are when the door is kept shut after a wash so never dries out. Any residue turns black over time and stains the inner rubber.
What is a draw?
@@amybcopy1 drawer/compartment
my sharp washing machine recommendes tub cleaning but NO chemical should be added. only 90 degree hot water cycle
Well stick to that advice👍
Run clean cycle once a month, leave door ajar, use organic detergent, borax and mule team.
Sounds good
Turn the music down! Can’t hear what your saying 🧏♀️
Lol, ok
Thank you, you really helped me.
Great stuff.
I put a commercial solution in in my washing machine, it has 500 ml and, as a composition, it says on the product label that it has a maximum of 15% phosphoric acid and a maximum of 5% non-ionic surfactants, the rest is distilled water... at 70 degrees, without pre - washing... I only used calgon, before this solution and, after 5 years of calgon, I changed the electrical resistance of the car and it was full of limescale... the service representative said to stop using calgon and no other products which have citric acid in their composition, for cleaning the washing machine, because citric acid destroys the rubber hoses and the semering under which the bearings are... so, he recommended the product with the above composition... I threw the container away but I'm going to ask the service guy again what the solution is called and what manufacturer it is from... my car is a Whirpool and, this year, it "turns" 20 years of operation... water from here it is semi-calcareous...only good in the future for everyone
Congratulations👍👍
Always do one 60c wash a week
I think it's a good idea and seems to work really well.
Checked my machine, no mould in seals, and I put drawer in dishwasher sometimes
Nice music I tough I heard a very faint voice in the background to be honest I couldn't understand what it was saying very overpowering music more music videos please 👍
Coolio👍
Brilliant thank you
No problem
In keeping with modern productions, music louder than the commentary... NO!
Turn it up!
Wow thank you so much
No problem young Karen👍
Great idea draining it into a bucket. Now you can use it to wash your dishes!
Lol😉👍
🤮
Why not put the dishes in the machine lol
I never wash below 50 degrees and never use Gel Washing Tablets. When the cycle is completely over I do one rinse on the empty machine and wipe the door seal dry Leave the door open slightly and the Dispenser drawer to dry the machine all the way through. Never fails
Great info!👍😎
That's a lot of effort
Awesome thanks
No problem👍
Of course it won't cause damage, its just detergent.
2 weeks later it exploded and took out half the place.
@@fiveminuteman Did the washer really explode?
@@sandilobianco6734 😉
Yes ,it does ...do you believe it??
You're making many mistakes:
1: you close the door when you're done. Air dry it!
2: you don't seem to use a rag to wipe out the rubber in the door opening after using it. You do this before leaving the door open to air it out.
3: I use white (cleaning) vinegar as a laundry softner. So the washing machine always gets some vinegar at the end of every cycle.
These are three ways you can improve your washing machine life.
And I have a Beko as well, so I can compare mine with yours.
Many mistakes and you go on to mention 3 observations? Leaving the door open or not does not alter things. Rag wipe is interesting. You know using vinegar in a washing machine will shrink rubber seals and eventually cause a leak?
@@fiveminuteman "Leaving the door open or not does not alter things?" Thanks for the video and all, but that statement is factually 100% incorrect. At the least, the easiest way to all but eliminate mold/mildew/odor is to leave the washer door and the the detergent/dispenser tray open AFTER EACH USE. Wanna go further? Then after each use: wipe the interior, gasket/bladder, and door and dispenser tray; drain the pump well, and leave the drain tube unplugged; THEN leave the door and dispenser tray open... You'd need to "clean the machine" much less often (provided you aren't overusing detergent, are using minimal softener, and are regularly checking and cleaning the pump trap/filter).
@@CaesarCapone i think you taken the whole thing a little too far don't you think? How about everything is left open then sprayed with a mould cleaner then wiped down again then hot air dried. Could even polish the components afterwards.
@@fiveminuteman Of course I took it to far! My point was leaving door and the dispenser tray open is the single best and easiest thing you can do to prevent odour/mold/mildew - which you seemed to disagree with. I added on the description of the full measure, suggesting it won't make much more of a difference that the door/tray option. But I was hoping that would be more up to your standards... Since leaving the door open makes no difference.
@@CaesarCapone leaving the door and draw open helps greatly I wipe the entire machine and dry my beko after every single use and always use a calgon tablet in every wash
Put a brick in for the ultimate clean
Dont forget the brick acid👍
Good test video, and an absolutely horrible music, that ruins everything.

Why would a dishwasher tablet do harm to a washing machine when a dishwasher does the same job?????
Very good question😀👍
Just because experts said and majority follow experts. Yes I use dishwasher tablets but there are experts who said no .
Why the background noise?

Rack it a few times and you have some decent scrumpy.
Hehe

Nobody else has an issue
I have a whirlpool washer for 5 years. Have two cats. It has no gunk.
Lucky you
What's the cats got to do with it🤔🤔🤔
@@derkbruinsma9351 was wondering that myself 🤔🤔🤔🤔
5 years is fairly new. Mine is 12 years old
How do the cats hold up after each and every wash over the past 5 years?! They must be in tatters 🤣
compre pague y nunca madaron nada
No problemo my friend😉
Am I literally the only one that noticed that the plastic wrap was still on the tablets?!
If you unwrap the tablets then the soap can mix easier faster and you should do it with a hot cycle for the grease
It's not plastic wrap it's organic and is supposed to be left on so all the tablet isnt released instantly.
@@fiveminuteman unfortunately it’s a water soluble plastic , but yes, that is the purpose.
I have a Bush WMNB712EW 7KG washing machine I have had it since January 2020, it like a Beko is a budget brand but there is no need to think that these products can't last
I don't use gels or liquids if I can avoid it, last year I had to because of the pandemic and people panic buying, but I am just about to finish a big box of surf biological powder which has lasted me for about 11 months because I live alone
Even though I don't use gels or liquids, I use biological washing powder and I also wash at 40oC at least once a week, I still do a maintenance wash once a month
I don't just put the machine on a hot cycle, I put it on prewash and extra rinse too, I put a small amount of bleach and washing up liquid (1 table spoon) in the prewash and main wash compartments
Before I put the machine on to do its maintenance wash, I remove the detergent drawer and give it a really good clean, I also check the compartment where the drawer sits and the the jets where the water fills the drawer and I also remove the pump filter (put a towel down to collect the water) and clean it and check the pump runs freely
This way I am giving my machine the best chance of performing to the best of its ability for years and years to come
Once important thing to consider with regards to the build up in the machine is that whilst that is occurring detergents cannot work as efficiently, because so much of it is being used to tackle the developing problem
I hope this helps :)
Excellent hints and tips👍
These tablets are powefurl degreasers... And that's it .
Works a treat
Who allows that black guck to stay in ma none ! I clean that area out once a month

Just buy a calblock it's a magnet 🧲 it goes to your washing machines water inlet valve it lasts for over 10 years no more hard water and lower electrical bill's try it there not expensive to buy .
