I never thought washing machine’s needed to be cleaned but apparently they collect detergent and fabric softener, especially if you use too much. By far what makes it smell the most is forgetting about your laundry and having it sit in the washer for more than a few hours or even overnight or longer.

There’s been some times when I’m just too busy and it sits too long. I often run the washer and dryer at night which means it sitting for hours. I never thought of that really. Sometimes a load of clothes smells bad, now I know why. So I used Smelly Washer to clean my washing machine and then ran a load of towels and blankets that came out of the laundry smelling really bad with the product too (as directed) and they came out of the laundry smelling really good!

You only use one cap full, and it’s a small cap. Once you’ve washed your machine, you only need to use it for a load that’s really smelly or every few months for upkeep so it should last fairly long. You can see full instructions for Smelly Washer if you’d like but basically it involves running the machine for 2 minutes using the product and then stopping it and letting it sit for a few hours before resuming.

You can find a list of where you can purchase Smelly Washer on their website

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
