washing machine starting to smell,any tips
11 Answers
can anybody recommend a solution to get rid of the musty smell i am getting from my washing machine.
i have tried a cup full of white vinegar on the hottest wash,the odour goes for a bit then returns.
i only use my washer twice a week,it is a hotpoint aquarius(not a cheap one)and bought brand new,2 yrs ago.
so any tips would be greatly appreciated.thanks

Most washing machine's leave about a cup full of water sitting in the drum when finished, if there's no air circulating it will go stagnent & thats what smells. When you've finished your wash sprinkle a teaspoonful of bi-carb into the drum & leave the door slightly open, that will sort it.
It won't hurt your next wash.

this happened to my very expensive 3 year old washer ! tried everything... clean out all pipes/hoses as they get sludge stuck! clean out trays, vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, bleach (not really recommended but last ditch attempt) lots of hot empty washes with powder & softener ... it eventually faded ... and try to leave the door open when not in use ...
