Hi folks

I need to use a disinfectant in a washing machine, but don't know what
to pick. Many plastic tub machines arent bleach compatible, and I dont
know if that's the case with this one or not.

GRP (Glass reinforced plastic) is weakened by bleach, and is often
used to make W/M outer drums which take a lot of stress in operation.
Don't know about your machine though.
Other materials in the machine may also be attacked by bleach - I
don't think any machines are designed to be used with it nowadays.

Its a Bosch Maxx
WFL2260. What would be suitable, available cheap and wahsing machine
compatible?

A hot wash (60C) will disinfect.
If you're really paranoid, use a 90C wash, but it's hard on the clothes.

Often that's not even necessary as harmful bacteria mostly live in the
dirt which is washed out, and not on fabric fibres themselves, so a
good wash is fine in many cases.

Also depends specifically what you are trying to disinfect against.
