What can I clean my washing machine with to stop it smelling?

  1. Mix ¼ cup of baking soda with ¼ cup of water and add it to your machine’s detergent container.
  2. Use four cups of plain white (not apple cider) vinegar to a top-load machine or two cups to a front-load model.
  3. Pour the vinegar into the drum.
  4. Run a high-temperature cycle.
