Washing Machine Tub Cleaning (After 1 Year Home Use)

Cleaning the washing machine with a commercial premix washing machine cleaner using the Tub Clean function.
This machine has been ran 2 times a week for the past year and is due for a tub cleaning cycle.
I'm from Singapore and where the mineral content of our water supply is very low (very soft water). You might have to clean your washing machine more often if you live in an area with water supply with high mineral content (hard water)
The Tub Clean Preset does the following:
1) Wash Cycle
2) Delay (about 30 mins, you can pause the washing machine here to delay even longer)
3) Wash Cycle
4) Rinse and Fill
5) Wash Cycle
6) Rinse
Washing Machine: LG WFT1091 Top Loader (www.lg.com/sg/washing-machine...)
Product used: Nichigo Washing Machine Cleaner (www.fairprice.com.sg/product/...)

This video is very helpful! I also got mine frm ntuc and the instructions were not clear enough. Glad i found this video.

[@fuzzy34r]

Thanks for the feedback! I felt the same about most tub cleaning products. It seems like they just leave it to you to decide how to use it.

[@Fenrir8080]

Thank you for your video. I just bought this and was unsure as to how to use it for a top loader.

Do washing machine come to pause mode several times when the deep clean cyle is on?

[@jlo7204]

Bros.. where to get the filter inside the trum. Cos that were every dirts/cloth waste get accumulated. Its good to change it every 3 or 4 months .. any idea. Mine is a kidea 9.5kg washing machine

[@fallofmanbrand]

nice video bro

[@mamjakarta]

Thanks for thiz video. I have never used that fun tion b4 for all the machines i had....wow..so take things for granted eh...anyway thanks for the video

[@fuzzy34r]

Welcome. This function is an important one. It will help to keep your washing machine in top condition

[@nanaernawati6308]

I like you and this vidio very helping me 😂

[@fuzzy34r]

Welcome. Glad that it was useful for you.

[@ThomasHor3nz1]

Helpful video!! Been trying to figure out how to use dr beckmann which instruction is not so clear. Ur video do the tricks. Wondering what mode to use for Hitachi brand, and Tub Clean mode is the one.

[@fuzzy34r]

Thanks! Glad it helped. Regular tub cleaning is really important for keeping the washing machine clean

[@hooimingng5924]

I just bought this and used it today - the water in my washing machine wasnt dark coloured during the wash, but aft the wash cycle is done, there’s a lot of dirty residual left over in my tub that’s not washed off… I tried many other cycles on the machine but it still didnt help.. had to manually cleaned off the dirt using a wet tissue… then decided to clean a small load of hand clothes but there continue to have more dirt coming out after the wash cycle../ do you have any advice for me? Thanks!

[@fuzzy34r]

I suppose its been a long time since your last tub clean? You can try filling up the tub and try to scoop up as much residue as possible using a small fish net. Filling and rinsing the tub a few more times might also help to remove the remaining residue. Hope this helps!

[@ricr.4669]

Hi do i need to remove the filter when tub cleaning? Can I use regular laundry detergent?

[@fuzzy34r]

Best to remove filter as the debris will clog it up. No, regular laundry detergent will not clean out mold and soap scrum inside the tub. Tub cleaning powders/liquids that are specifically design to remove hardened detergent residues.

[@Ezwan2023]

turbodrum good tub clean

[@user-zl6gg3mp6f]

Hi, this is a good video. I have a question. Do you need to off the washing machine and soak for 2 to 3 hours before you on and resume the tub clean? Thanks

[@a.ozzie.o]

I had this question in mind too, and also used it the last few days. Mine has a pause function but I didn’t use it. It somehow pause and let it soak as part of the tub clean function.
Washed my clothes in netting just to be sure, the day after, unfortunately there are still dirt flakes attached and present.
I’ll try to tub wash again for the second time soon and update you. Hopefully the second tub clean will totally clear off the dirts.

[@rezinabegum1951]

If we forget initially to set the rinse option, can we change it to 3times after 10-15mins of wash??

[@fuzzy34r]

Best to check your instruction manual. I think it would be possible

[@maheshappaji1273]

Can we add vineger along that powder and hot water

[@fuzzy34r]

No. Never mix cleaning chemicals. Washing machine cleaning powder usually contains bleach. Adding an acid to bleach can release toxic chlorine gas.

[@assclown87]

Hi do we need to adjust the water level manually? The water level for my washer is auto set to 1. I noticed in your video it is auto set to level 10. Thanks!

[@fuzzy34r]

If you select the “tub clean” option, your washing machine would automatically set the water level to the max.

[@Astrodraak]

My LG washing machine also sets the level at 4. The adjustment cannot be changed.

[@my5607]

Hi Alvin, for your LG machine's tub clean cycle does it start with very low water level and only increases much later into the cycle?

[@hello..1793]

Where can we get it sir✨

[@gouthamugde1053]

Ye kaha milega

[@edenasi3273]

Is it have in the Philippines that washing machine cleaner?

[@fuzzy34r]

Greetings from Singapore. I’m not sure, but you can look out for the main ingredient (hydrogen peroxide) if you can’t find such a similar product.

[@hadiyazid]

I tot tub clean is for clothes but never press on it. Now I know.

[@aliao834]

How long does tub clean take?

[@soonfong5459]

@2:05

[@pearljoycasilao8483]

Hi . if we click the tub clean, with clothes or no clothes?

[@fuzzy34r]

No clothes. The tub cleaning process will release dirt from within the tub and stain your clothes. Keep it empty.

[@kanchanjain9624]

How much time it will take

[@fuzzy34r]

Hi Kanchan Jain. It will take around 3-4h to complete. However, if you want to maximise the cleaning effect, you can try another technique shown in my other video: th-cam.com/video/O50CWKTJVLA/w-d-xo.html

[@tammykeng5900]

I have bought this product.
Still puzzled how to use for my front load Elba Washing Machine.. wondering anyone can advise me?? Thanks

[@fuzzy34r]

Suggest you consult your user’s manual for this.

[@arthuryoung7593]

I have a front load machine too! I am using this same product today. I put it in my detergent area!

[@pearljoycasilao8483]

Its okay to open the washing while tub cleaning?

[@fuzzy34r]

your washing machine will probably pause the process until you close it again.

[@zulfikranzulmos4066]

Why remove filter

[@fuzzy34r]

If don’t remove, the filter will be quickly clogged up if your tub is very dirty.

[@hasithaliyanage6372]

Why did you remove the filters?

[@fuzzy34r]

I removed it because I didn’t want the junk to get stuck in the filters. In my other video, I cleaned out another washing machine that is far dirtier and a lot more junk was removed from the tub.

[@niggogado]

I was wondering how to clean the tub. I use normal detergent to put lmao.

[@fuzzy34r]

Ah… normal detergent won’t clean detergent/softener residue. The tub cleaner powder is a strong oxidiser that can break down and remove such residue.

[@MyCountryIsSaudiArabia215]

Bro go find everything at your own airport!!!😂😂😂 Singapore airport!!!!😂😂😂

[@NyxLevel]

It worked too well for me until the residue (white-greyish playdoh textured) clogged the inside drain. Had to unclog using metal cloth hanger lol. 4 yo machine that has never been cleaned

[@mcfly6174]

let it soak overnight. You’ll see the nasty stuff.

[@fuzzy34r]

Thanks! I’ll try it next time

[@Julia-gv3ng]

How? Since that tub clean button is auto run?

[@mcfly6174]

@@Julia-gv3ng Won’t run if you cut the power supply. 😉

[@amlesh8638]

Not the right way. First thing to do is to add only hot water to the top. Then add 3 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of bicarbonate, this will make a reaction. Then let it run for 5 minutes, and let it sit in for 6 hours, then run it for 10 minutes and filter the debris with an aquarium net filter. Then drain all the nasty water and tub dry

[@fuzzy34r]

Vinegar and bicarbonate will just react together to make carbon dioxide and neutral compounds. I understand a lot of online resources recommend doing so, but the bubbly reaction has little to no cleaning effect against stubborn buildup. Best to use a strong oxidising agent like hydrogen peroxide (available in colour beach and most commercial washing machine cleaner powders) to break down mould and residual dirt buildup. I also tried using aquarium nets in my subsequent video but found that it is still most effective to simply drain and fill the machine multiple times to get rid of most of the insoluble debris. Do check out the video here:

[@dendritibus]

​@@fuzzy34rthat's correct, bicarbonate and vinegar cancel each other. I can't understand why this wrong method is kept being suggested so much...
