Alright, so I finally got around to trying out this Dettol Washing Machine Cleaner everyone's been raving about. Figured my washing machine could use a good scrub, you know, after all those dirty loads of laundry. Here’s how it went down.

First off, I grabbed the bottle. The instructions seemed straightforward enough. It said to pour the whole bottle into the detergent dispenser – yep, the whole thing! That felt like a lot, honestly. But hey, who am I to argue with Dettol?

Next, I set the washing machine to a hot cycle. The instructions were pretty clear on this – gotta be a hot wash, no clothes inside. I usually do a 60°C wash for bedding, so I just went with that. Hit the start button and let it do its thing.

I gotta admit, I was a bit skeptical. Could this stuff really clean the whole machine? I’ve used those washing machine cleaning tablets before, but this liquid seemed...different. Maybe it’s the Dettol name that gives it that extra oomph.

The wash cycle took about an hour and a half. When it was done, I opened the door and gave the drum a good look. Honestly, it looked pretty clean! No visible gunk or grime. I even sniffed around – smelled kinda fresh, like that Dettol scent, but not overpowering.

Then came the important part – the detergent dispenser. This is where all the nasty stuff usually hides. Pulled it out, and… wow. It was actually cleaner than I expected! There was still some residue, but way less than usual. I gave it a quick wipe with a cloth, and it was sparkling. Seriously impressed.

After that, I ran another quick rinse cycle, just to make sure there wasn't any cleaner left inside. Better safe than sorry, especially when you're gonna be washing clothes in it later.

My Verdict?

• Easy to Use: No complicated steps, just pour and wash.
• Effective Cleaning: Definitely cleaned better than I expected, especially the detergent dispenser.
• Smells Fresh: The Dettol scent is a nice bonus.

Would I use it again? Absolutely. I reckon I’ll be adding this to my cleaning routine every few months. It's a simple way to keep the washing machine in tip-top shape and hopefully keep my clothes cleaner too.

So yeah, if you're looking for a good washing machine cleaner, I'd say give the Dettol stuff a try. It worked for me!
