Iv put a nappy in the washing machine by accident! How do I clean my washing machine?

Question

Its a Bosch washing machine. What a mess it is! the nappy has exploded everywhere! This is what happens when you become a mother - you become so ditsy!

Answer 1

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

put the machine on the hottest wash without the clothes, a lid full of

bleach and your machine will be smelling like roses.

Answer 3

Put your machine on  the hottest wash empty -you can get a product from the supermarket called Affresh washing machine cleaner that gets rid of residues and unpleasant odours- good luck! Know how this feels..except i once washed a brick!! That was a disaster

Answer 4

Ooo nasty, we've not managed to do that one yet.

We have a bosch too, the draw comes out quite easily so can be cleaned, There should be some sort of filter trap near the bottom of the washing machine too, take that out and give it a clean. Then do a couple of empty boil washes.

If that don't work then if you take the top of the washing machine off (unplug it first of course) you should be able to access all the pipes. These can all be disconnected one at a time and cleaned.

I wouldn't put disinfectant in the machine though. A bit of washing power might help when you do the boil washs.

Answer 5

give it a good couple of boil washes and see what happens - you wont be the first so it will be fine eventualllllllllly

Answer 6

A few i.e . 2 or 3 blank -washes as suggested  should clear the mess,-don't be too upset we all make mistakes .

cheers.

Answer 7

Clean out what you can with your hands and then put a very hot cycle on the machine with no clothes inside.

Keep doing it till you think its gone then put a small item in and wash it, once its finished smell it!

If it smells of number 2's then repeat till its clean.
