Do a few lighter loads more frequently using white vinegar poured in (not bleach) and hot water. It should help a little with dealing with leftover fabric softener, excess detergent (you'll see it bubble slightly even with no detergent) or caked on lint/algae. It won't address stuff like gravel, stickers, hair etc. that doesn't dissolve or can get stuck in weird ways. I usually do this for things I don't fear will shrink like towels and whatnot.
I'll also do extra rinse and full modes (not express mode only) so that there is hopefully less accumulation over time. It seems to be working so far.
Putting my lips on the drainage hose seems so gross. I'd rather use a couple of shots from compressed air to give insight whether there might be a clog in the line that got past the rubber seal (check and clean the rubber seal for the drum if you haven't already).
