Your tumble dryer works hard to give you the perfect load every time. However, with regular usage, over time it can accumulate unpleasant odours which may transfer to your laundry. Thankfully, there are a few simple tricks you can try to deodourise the smell without using harsh chemicals. Follow the steps below and you’ll be on your way to fresh and fragrant laundry again.

Wipe down the interior

Using a care product for your tumble dryer will ensure that the machine functions properly for longer. A machine that has been well looked after produces better drying results and lasts longer. Begin by cleaning the interior with a damp cloth. You can use a lemon or vinegar-based solution to help you banish bad smells in no time. Then, we recommend using our tested and approved Care Product for Tumble Dryers. Don't forget that if your fluff filter is clogged, or damaged, your tumble dryer will not work at its optimum. If you notice any visible damage, please replace the part.

General tips

Ensure that you do not overload your dryer. All tumble dryers have load recommendations listed in the user manual based on the program selected. A general rule of thumb is to make sure you can get a hand’s width in above the line of your clothes. Another important tip to remember is to clean the lint filter after each drying cycle. This will ensure sufficient air flow for your tumble dryer to operate both effectively and efficiently. If you don’t know how to do this, click here.
