Can I clean my washing machine with vinegar?

You might have heard that electrical appliances can be descaled or cleaned with vinegar and want to use it on your washing machine. We advise you not to do this. Vinegar is not recommended because it causes damage to the rubber parts in the machine.

We advise you to use the Bosch washing machine cleaner. We’ve tested it in Bosch washing machines to ensure it provides optimum cleaning results. That way, it can help to prolong the life of your appliance.
