How To Fix A Smelly Washing Machine

• How would you feel if one day youre happily
  going about your household chores, ready to take
  out the first load out of the washer for folding
  but immediately gets hit with a musky odour as
  soon as you open the machine? Well, if youre
  here reading this article, then you probably
  already know the feeling. Its disgusting.
• There are several reasons why your clothes get
  smelly after washing. Take a closer look at these
  causes and how you can deal with them before
  seeking professional washing machine repairs in
  Adelaide.

Why Does Your Washing Machine Smell Bad?

• Your washer may be the primary cause of clothes
  that smell even after washing them. Here are some
  of the most common reasons why a washing machine
  may give unpleasant odours
• Hard Water
• Limescale build-up is caused by hard water. This
  may cause blockages in your washing machine,
  resulting in the accumulation of soap scum. Find
  out whether there is hard water where you live
  and although you cant really do anything about
  it, you could run an empty cleaning cycle using
  hot water to deal with the limescale.

• Bacteria Build-up
• Piled up soap scum in your washing machine makes
  the perfect environment for bacteria, which is
  often the source of bad smell. Watch out and
  regularly clean your washer drum, rubber door
  seal and detergent drawer compartments to prevent
  bacteria from building up.

Cleaning Process

• Option 1
• Combine baking soda with water and add to the
  laundry compartment.
• Pour the vinegar/lemon juice into the washing
  drum.
• Start empty warm water cycle.
• Leave the door open when finished so the drum
  can fully dry.

• The combination of vinegar and baking soda helps
  break up all dirt build-ups and efficiently
  remove the bad smell. White vinegar or fresh
  lemon juice, on the other hand, works well for
  getting rid of mould in your washer.
• Regular maintenance is the key to keep your
  washing machine odour-free. Depending on usage,
  make it a habit to launch a cleaning cycle at
  least every two to three weeks. If these DIY
  cleaning processes dont work, get in touch with
  reliable technicians right away.
