Just so, how do I get rid of the smell in my washing machine?
Bring out the vinegar. Pour two cups of white vinegar into the drum, then run a normal cycle at high heat—without any clothes, of course. The baking soda and vinegar should break up any residue stuck to your drum and kill any mold that might be present. They'll also help remove any foul odors.
Secondly, why does my washing smell bad? Damp clothes smell is often caused by mould in the machine. To avoid washing machine making clothes smell: try putting a cup of white vinegar into the drum and then setting the machine to spin on a normal cycle without any clothes. Vinegar is a great, natural mould-remover.
Thereof, why does my washer smell like sewage?
Most likely, the smelly washer is a sign of plumbing problems, and that's where EcoClean can help. Run a load of hot water through the washing machine (without clothes). Add a cup of distilled white vinegar to the load. This restores water to evaporated drain traps, which releases sewer gas.
Can I put bleach in my washing machine to clean it?
To clean your washing machine with bleach, simply add 60ml of neat bleach to your detergent drawer then run your machine on a hot cycle, with an extra rinse cycle to make sure all the bleach is flushed out. Bleach and hot water can also produce a lot of foam, so don't use more than the dose we've recommended.
