Smelly Washing Machine

What can i do to stop my washing machine from smelling?

I'm not sure what kind of smell you are referring to but leaving the door open when it is not being used will cut down on the smells

As suggested by the two ladies from 'How clean is your house ?'
Put washing soda in the drum and run the hottest wash.
(I put in a whole packet.It costs about 60 pence from any supermarket)
Then put a bottle of white vinegar in the drum and run the hottest wash again. ( The vinegar costs about 60 pence as well )
It cleans out all the gunge along with the smell.
You can buyer commercial products that clean a washing machine , but they are quite expensive and I don't think are as good as humble washing soda and vinegar.

My sister tried it and it worked,as you say much cheaper too.

Thanks for your tips I have tried leaving the door open but when I forget to leave it open the smell is there again even after doing a 90 degree wash. I will try the soda & vinegar, the only other thing I have read about is 'Purewasher' but that is from America, and quite expensive. Thanks again

Was anyone else tempted to put "remove it's nose"? No? Just me then?

Oh ok :-(
