Having previously taken advice from a ‘professional’ and buying the sachets that ‘hoover’ recommend, that they’re so good but can’t be bought in shops, I thought I had the best out there and that my machine was just prone to scummy mouldy build up. WRONG..... admittedly I ummed and arrred about purchasing something that could easily be bought in shops and make all these claims, just how was this little bottle of dettol going to be better than something I’d had recommended by a ‘professional’ and that I’d had to hunt for as only professionals know of it.
So I took the plunge, let’s face it, it’s not much to spend if it didn’t work. I ordered a bottle.
Oh, how wrong I was. This little bottle of dynamite is FANTASTIC!!!
I washed out the drawer and the internal casing with a brush & mould spray, then for good measure, wiped all areas with a little of the dettol liq, I then gave the door seal a good de-moulding, as this is the part that is worst hit in my machine, oh, the scummy build up is awful here😱. After which I set the machine to 60C and sat back.
When finished, there was a pleasant, but not ‘in yer face’ fresh smell, now to check the drawer..... nothing, not a speck of mould left. Now for the door seal, so armed with a sheet of ‘plenty’, as ‘juan sheet is plenty’, as it doesn’t fall apart, I went round the seal. Now, seriously, I was astonished. Not a trace of black, no scum, literally nothing came off. I even gave it a second go round in case I’d been too light with my wipe round. Genuinely there was nothing left to discolour the kitchen roll.
The only mark I have is a few spots of ground in black at the base of the seal which won’t come off even with the hardest of scrubbing. My machine is 6 years old & been using these sachets since new, I thought I had the best out there so fought on a monthly basis to keep the black stuff at bay.
For info: since using the dettol liquid a while ago, I also took the plunge and bought some of the dettol laundry cleanser, more & more of my washing is at 30C, which is no temperature to properly clean sweaty and soiled clothes, and this too seems to be helping to keep the machine clean and smelling fresh. With regular use, even the ground in black spots on the door seal seem to be getting smaller.
So in essence, what I thought was going to be a waste of money and just another product punching above its weight, is totally worth every penny and I sure won’t be returning to the ‘hard to purchase, professional’ sachets ever again.
Which reminds me, it’s time to purchase another bottle!!
