To now feel disgusted with my Moon

[CJ2010]

I watched last nights Watchdog and they featured the Indesit Moon washing machine.

Being a bit of a washing machine novice (the Moon is my first one, since leaving home) I thought it was normal to have to regularly scrub grime and mould out of the inside of the machine.

Last week I remarked to my DP, that the clothes stank of fox piss / weird rubber smell, after they had been washed and put them back in and washed them again.

I have a young child and another on the way and after seeing what the experts said on the show about the mould and that fact that you can't do a 90 degree wash on this machine, I feel really fucked off with Indesit that I have been mislead into buying this poxy machine. DP also watched the show and straight away said that we should buy another washing machine. MORE EXPENSE!!!

I thought this was going to be a thread about how you had showed your arse to the passing traffic and were now feeling ashamed of yourself....

[JarethTheGoblinKing]

total hijack, but kungfu - that's what you should do to the woman who refuses to reverse up and let you pass

[ExitPursuedByALamb]

And I thought it was about moon cups

[CJ2010]

Oh sorry to disappoint, but I would def not keep sticking a mouldy moon cup up my fanjoo!

[chrisonabike]

YABU. Who "remarks" these days?

[IreneHeron]

Ooh I saw that, so glad I've got a hotpoint! Today first thing I did was run a 95 degree wash with some non bio. I normally only do 30 degrees with non bio. I never knew how manky they could get. I also cleaned out the drawer with dettol just in case. YANBU, I'd be livid if I had a Moon.

[itssnotfunny]

am i supposed to? havent in oooo 15 years

[TheMonster]

CJ that's awful. They are really expensive machine as well. How long have you had it?

[ShoutyHamster]

Was expecting to hear a sorry tale of astrological promise which failed to materialise. Your washing machine sounds pants though!

[oldraver]

So what is the problem (as on Watchdog) ? I have a Hotpoint and its the first machine I have had that gets very mouldy in the drawer. I figured its to do with it being a cold fill

[GingerWrath]

I have a Moon too and thought maybe I just wasn't vigilant enough at cleaning it and our water is rubbish! (runs off to iPlayer to find Watchdog)

[IreneHeron]

Oldraver Moons don't have a 90+ wash so bacteria such as e-coli can build up and make the machine really slimy and make people ill. You can't kill the bacteria if you don't have a boil wash. There was also something about them not having a soap drawer too but I didn't quite why that was a problem.

[GingerWrath]

They don't have soap drawers because they are meant to be self cleaning.

[CJ2010]

It does not self clean!!! I clean it!

[GingerWrath]

That's why I said 'meant' CJ! cause mine quite obviously doesn't either.

[Oblomov]

Agree with your dp. Get rid, asap. I said so ont he other thread aswell. Churns my stomach.

[GingerWrath]

Oblomov what other thread?

[Oblomov]

similar: watchdog

[caramelwaffle]

Oh. I thought this was going to be about the moon symbol on the Mumsnet pages. Phases of the moon etc

(hijack - kungfu - Do Not Moon road rage woman )

[GloriaSmut]

I feel badly let down. I was somehow expecting something rather more pagan.

[JarethTheGoblinKing]

Oh please moon toad rage woman?

[GingerWrath]

I am getting rid of mine asap and getting a conventional machine after watching Watchdog...why should I have to bleach the door seal after each load?

[headfairy]

didn't watchdog say indesit had offered compensation to customers who weren't happy?

[GingerWrath]

Maybe I need to complain then. I bought mine when we moved 250 miles and thought it was the water in the area, didn't realise it was a common problem!

[JarethTheGoblinKing]

Road Damn it! Not toad! Aggg
