How to Get Rid of Smell in Washing Machine

Do you usually wash at 30 or 15 degrees? I guess your laundry is safe but sometimes you can smell an unpleasant odor from your washing machine. Expensive washing powder will not help you.

In most of cases it is enough to turn on programe with higher temperature. If you have new washing machine then you will find even programes which are there to clean the inside of your washing machine.

But if you don’t find any of these special programes than try special cleaning products and use it few times per year.

To be honest cleaning washing machine takes a lot of time.

1. Clean the filter. People say we should clean it twice a year but who has long hair or pets should probably do it more often. Take out the filter and flush it out.

2. Seal on the door is very important to clean. You would be surprised what can hide under such a narrow gum.

3. Be patient and clean all parts with a small brush.

4. From time to time use higher temperatures and smell will be gone.

5. Always close the door and the drawer.
