Drum dismantle jet-wash, oven degrease and appliance cleaning
Washing machine and oven cleaning in Singapore is from S$148 to S$280 for a top-load tub dismantle, from S$188 to S$380 for a front-load spider and drum overhaul, and S$140 to S$240 for a built-in oven, microwave and hood. A bundle of the drum, the oven and a fridge purge is S$320 to S$420. The drum job is a mechanical strip and a high-pressure wash. A supermarket tub-clean tablet does not reach the outer drum.

Black flakes on the clothes are not the tablet failing
The flake is biofilm on the outer stainless drum and the aluminium spider. The tub-clean cycle only sees the inner drum you can already reach.
| What you see | Likely cause | What to do first / typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Black seaweed flakes on dark clothes | Three to five years of softener, skin scale and mould on the outer drum | Top-load dismantle: from S$148 to S$280. Front-load: from S$188 to S$380 |
| Front-load door seal is slimy | Mould in the boot gasket and the detergent drawer | Included in the front-load overhaul |
| Oven door glass is brown and the hood drips | Carbonised grease, not a wipe-down | Oven, microwave and hood: S$140 to S$240 |
| A tablet was run last month and the smell stayed | The tablet never left the inner drum | Book the dismantle. The guide compares the two |
