My washing machine stinks and I can't seem to shift it.


I have used the machine waser solutions and put it on a hot bleach wash but it just comes back after a day. It makes the whole house and the clothes smell.

Does anyone know how to get rid of it or will I have to get a new machine?

Clean the seals as thoroughly as you can,empty any filter it may have then run it empty on a very hot wash with a tiny amount of biological washing liquid/powder.After use always leave the machine door open as keeping it closed is what causes the smell and the mould to form inside the rubber seals,it needs to be able to dry out naturally.

Hi,
Thanks for the speedy reply but I have done all that. There was virtualy nothing in the filter (unless there is another one I can't find) I thought there might be a magic product that can get rid of it.

Thanks Cassa
I cant ever get the black of the seals on my doors no matter how much I scrub
