Doing this can keep your drum clean and banish any unpleasant odours.
For this wash, put detergent or soda crystals directly into the drum of your machine, and for best results whack up the temperature to 50 or 60 degrees.
With the high temperature, you won’t need to put on a full wash, a short one will do the trick just as well.
