What causes the smell in my washing machine?

You’ve noticed a smell in the washing machine? That shouldn’t happen but can certainly occur if you wash a lot at low temperatures and use a small amount of detergent. You should therefore wash regularly at 60º C or higher and also use the correct amount of detergent, in accordance with the manufacturer and amount of laundry.

We recommend our washing machine cleaner (00311927). We have tested it on Bosch washing machines and are confident that it provides an optimal cleaning result. It removes unpleasant smells and avoids them building up in future.

Content: 200g, sufficient for one application. We recommend to use every 3 months. It is also available as economical pack of 4 item (00311930).
