Drum clean is a function available in many washing machines that helps to clean the drum of the machine. The drum of a washing machine can accumulate dirt, mold, and bacteria over time, which can affect the performance of the machine and even cause damage to clothes. The drum clean function is a self-cleaning cycle that removes mold or dirt that may accumulate inside the drum. It is recommended to clean the drum at least once a month to preserve the performance of the washing machine and remove any bacteria from it.

Different washing machines have different ways of activating the drum clean function. For example, in a Voltas Beko front load washing machine, you need to switch on the washing machine and look for the drum clean cymbal on the control panel. Then, press the corresponding button for three seconds to activate the drum cleaning program. After opening the door and removing any laundry present in the drum, you need to put one pouch of descaling powder into the drawer, close the drawer, and press the Start button. After the cycle is complete, open the door for odor ventilation.

In Samsung washing machines, there are two types of drum clean functions: ECO DRUM CLEAN and ECO DRUM CLEAN+. ECO DRUM CLEAN is a self-cleaning cycle that removes mold or dirt that may accumulate inside the drum. ECO DRUM CLEAN+ is an advanced self-cleaning cycle that removes mold or dirt that may accumulate inside the drum and the door seal. It is recommended to perform the ECO DRUM CLEAN cycle regularly to clean the drum by removing bacteria from it. However, you should never use the ECO DRUM CLEAN cycle when laundry is in the washing machine, as this may result in damage to the laundry or a problem with the washing machine.

If your washing machine does not have a drum clean function, you can clean the drum manually using bleach and white vinegar. It is important to keep the drum of the washing machine clean to prevent malfunctions and the costly replacement of damaged parts due to limescale buildup and mold.
