Washing machines have truly revolutionised everyday life, eliminating the need to scrub clothes endlessly by hand.While it's the ultimate clean machine, it's easy to forget that the appliance also needs regular scrubbing.

Without this, the drum can transform into a haven for black mould that hides within its crevices.Not only is this unsightly, it can also stain laundry and one woman took to the internet for advice after learning this the hard way.

Writing on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook, she was devastated to see her sheets come out dirtier than before, but learned how one dishwasher tablet could solve the problem.Sharing a picture of a white bed sheet covered in dark steaks, she wrote: "No judgement please.

I’ve just put my white bedding in for a wash and it’s come out like this. I have wiped all the rubber seal and thick black sludge is just coming off."Also sharing a snap of some used kitchen roll covered in black gunk, she added: "How do I get rid of this, I won’t want to buy a new machine really any help would be hugely appreciated - thank you."Fans of the cleaning influencer came to the rescue with many suggestions, but the majority incorporated using a dishwasher tablet.
