How do i descale/clean the inside of my washing machine?

Low temperature washes cause this problem, and about the only thing that you can do is to run a full heat programme from time to time to keep bacteria at bay. Some domestos down the sink plug wont do any harm, but it wont really go where its needed - ie into the drum area itself. Tablets such as Calgon dont clean the inside of your machine, they just help to prevent calcium build up by softening the water.
