How to Descale a Bosch Washing Machine

Bosch offers compact front-loading washing machines for residential use. Hard water can cause a mineral buildup on the inside of the washing machine, leaving stains and slowing water drainage. Household products such as vinegar and baking soda can descale and refresh the washer with little effort. Unlike commercial descaling products, vinegar and baking soda will not harm your washer's interior with regular use.
