What next in the cleaning your washing machine process?

[WellTidy]

Lovely Miele was smelling a bit stale, do I've followed the mn advice and run a hot wash with soda crystals twice. Now I have run a hot wash with white vinegar. Do I need to run any more empty washes or can I use the machine as normal please?

Have you cleaned out the filter and the dispenser drawer and the space the drawer fits into?

That should be plenty

I've done the drawer and the space the drawer fits into. I have no idea where the filter is. I've only had the machine for five and a half years!

Found the filter. It wasn't too bad in there at all thankfully! Hopefully the machine will now be sweet smelling.

Leaving the washing machine door and dispensing drawer open between uses helps a lot.
