Review: A game-changer for washing machine hygiene – highly recommend! - Durability, Shine & Compatibility: I’ve been using the Dettol Washing Machine Cleaner for a few months now, and it has completely transformed how fresh and efficient my machine feels. The durability of the cleaning effect is impressive—after each use, my machine stays odor-free and performs better for weeks. It removes dull soap-scum buildup and leaves the drum and detergent drawer with a spotless, glossy shine. I’ve also used it successfully in both front-loader and top-loader machines, with no issues at all for seals, hoses, or drainage. Finish & Drying Time: After the cycle finishes, the inside of the machine smells fresh and clean—never overly chemical—and there’s no sticky residue left behind. Even the rubber door seal looks brighter. Best of all, the machine dries noticeably faster after using this cleaner. Without residue trapping moisture, the drum and seal air-dry within an hour or two, completely eliminating the musty smells that used to linger from dampness. Value for Money & Overall Verdict: Given that one bottle provides 2–3 deep cleans, this product is fantastic value for money. For roughly the price of a coffee, I’m extending my machine’s life and avoiding expensive service calls or part replacements. Dettol Washing Machine Cleaner is a solid 10/10—a small investment that pays off in hygiene, performance, and peace of mind. Highly recommended.
Review: Improves - We’ve been using this for around a year now every couple of months. We were at the point of buying a new washing machine as clothes just didn’t smell clean. Since using this clothes now smell clean once washed and the washing machine just seems to work a lot better again. It’s really easy to use, just pour it into the powder tray and also into the drum and put the wash on, it’s compatible with all machines as far as I know and for those, like us, with hard water, it helps to maintain the machine. Once finished washing, we leave the door open and the smell is strong to know it’s clean, and the machine air dries quickly. The bottle is small and well designed, I’d imagine it to be as environmentally friendly as possible for a plastic bottle - it is recyclable and doesn’t have much extra/ wasted space! Would recommend

*by L***A on 11 October 2025*

Smells nice. Not really sure if it works I kinda just use a product like this every 6 months as it's recommend to look after my washing machine. I was pleased with the cost compared to other brands and Dettol is a brand I like to use around the kitchen so gave it a go. Would buy again
