yes using that only thing I love in this machine
have stopped using 15or 30min cycles now all normal clothes go into the mix load for 45 min [ heavy soiled go into cotton 60C for 1.3 hrs]
good right? also have stopped using comfort now
How to clean the inside of a washing machine and keep it that way

do you have any idea how much detergent it dispenses per load?
So if you fill 1 litre detergent then how many washes do you get?
At last
What temperature is the mix cycle set for?
Yes very good. Bet this was the culprit.
Does Samsung really think their specialised no-cleaning-product-required tub clean cycle can get rid of fabric conditioner residue ?
We will know soon enough when people show up with same smell problems inspite of running the no cleaning product tub clean cycle as recommended.

Because its cheaper for the volume you need to clean and doesn't need to be heated.
@proletariat can you give your review so those unfamiliar can understand?
Like what?

What do you mean by expired? You can ignore the date on the box. According to the law they have to say two years. So even table salt supposedly 'expires' in two years
Citric acid sweats but it doesn't go bad
Tub clean on LG and use the entire packet which should be 100gm I think
Okay I'll give it a goWhat do you mean by expired? You can ignore the date on the box. According to the law they have to say two years. So even table salt supposedly 'expires' in two years

Throw the whole thing inside the drum or in the detergent tray?
I'm also yet to use that water hardness test kit

Put it in the tray so it washes out detergent residue
What are you waiting for?I'm also yet to use that water hardness test kit
Expiry date on that thing means something
Descaler in the tray
Lizol directly in the drum. If you use the tub clean option then three scoops or 180ml into the drum.
Descaling & disinfecting at the same time.

The hot water already does the disinfecting everytime the machine is run right? I'm gonna try only the descaler.

Right so most of the time it's run at 40. The few odd times at 60 isn't enough to disinfect.
Quick wash Is the most used cycle?
What about fabric conditioner?

Since @anmolbhard004 didn't answer my question on auto dosage and amount of detergent used per wash I looked it up and its clear that the default Bosch advise is overdosing detergent.
So how does Bosch do this auto dosing business?
According to their video
50ml? Is quite high for a normal soil load in soft/medium water. If you measure the volume of the screw on cap provided by say Surf liquid it works out to around 40ml. Interestingly the UK Surf liquid imports I got also use a similar volume cap.
I would use 30 ml for those conditions and heavy soil. According to Bosch I need 80ml. More than double. 40ml tops but I can get away with less.
In fact if you subtract 20ml from those recommendations you will arrive at the right starting amount.
Note that I said starting, meaning you have to adjust from there to suit your conditions.
Looks like you have to reprogram the default amounts your machine uses
@anmolbhard004
Or at least verify what the default detergent settings are. That is if you don't want to waste your money on excess detergent and machine problems.
Excess liquid detergent residue also leads to faster than normal mould growth.
His recommend of two tablespoons is 30ml. Adjust up if required.
I still find a lot of suds in his ideal amount. It might seem no suds means not enough detergent used or clothes too dirty but I find my full load of medium to heavy soil clothes come out clean after a nearly 3h Cottons 60 cycle with prewash selected.
You can also get more suds if you were washing just towels than regular clothes with the same detergent amount. As towels trap air and this then creates more suds. Doesn't mean one was overdosed and the other underdosed
In the end, all that detergent has to be rinsed out. If you see too much foam at the end of the last rinse it means you need an extra rinse or use less detergent next time.
From the little you've told me I would add Lizol when doing the descale. Otherwise run a second cycle with Vanish as advised in the first post.
Can't mix vanish & descaler hence two washes. Whereas Lizol doesn't react with descaler and you get two for one.

How often is quick wash used? Guesstimate a percentage
