Does vinegar help when my washing machine smells?

If your washing machine smells, please don’t use vinegar. It’s too aggressive and can attack the rubber parts. Instead, make sure that the drum is continuously aired and use 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).
