What causes them to go black and gungy when it's clean water goes in.
Dont like having gungy drawers lol

Marion

You're supposed to wash them out now and then you know!! (lol)

Kath

Softner &Wash powder residue,mingled with dampness,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

*inspects said drawers*

Ewwwwww .................Marion, what a disgrace!!

*rushes off to scrub mine out* :))))

You can take the whole drawer out - well I can on my Bosch. I wash it up once a month - but to be honest dont get much gunk. I link its because I use liquid?

Can I ask.......
Why do they have to be washed - when they have had wash powder etc in them???

Just athought!!!!!!!!!!

Liz

I think it's because men designed washing machines and manafacture the washing powders and softeners! lol

And why do we have to wash bath towels? After all, we only use 'em when we are CLEAN!

seriously for a minute - hubby cleaned mine out other day.

Good point Dee!!!!

Thanks all for your concern over my manky drawers lol

I take the drawer out, it's also a Bosch, it look's like something from the dark lagoon lol.

Bosch I know are known for getting bunged up at the softner bit.

Thats what i thought Liz all that water and soap powder and it's yucky.


Marion

Oohhh.............nothing worse than a bunged up bosch is there? lol

A girl I know said to me when she was about 5.
Why do I need my sheets washed..I have a bath every night and I am clean.

mostly its fabric conditioner that makes the gunk. Also causes the pong eventually from the machine as it doesn't fully clear all the pipes. have a friend who is a washing machine engineer and he says fabric softener causes all sorts of problems especially the concentrated one,he thinks its better not to use it ,but we are in a hard water area and altho we have a water softener i still prefer the extra softened clothes

Shirley

Try bunging your manky drawers in the dishwasher for maximum gunk removal.

This might be of use to you all especially Kitty :))

If you put a cup of soap powder in hot water you can get all the burnt bits off your casserole dishes soak overnight.
Or sprinke some over a burnt pot and leave it, it comes off easy.

Marion

Dee I have asked him time and time again but he never gets round to it lol

I was silly enough not to get a dish washer put in when the kitchen was done up.
Would mean big changes if I got one now.

Marion

Is it really safe to put the drawer in the dishwasher. I must be a dirty old trout because mine is usually manky (the drawer I mean )!

Marion..............when it comes to getting burnt bits off pots, pans, dishes or cookers..........I'm an expert!!

One advantage of being a rubbish cook! :)))
