Reply to comment by WardStradlater in Washing machine still smells - what can I clean? by ShelfordPrefect

I fill the fabric softener dispenser (so its added to final rinse cycle) with white vinegar for all my loads. Coupled with leaving the door open to allow drying, no more stinky machine!

*edit I checked in the morning (muscle memory) and I actually add the vinegar to the fabric softener dispenser not the bleach.

Misread that I thought you said you were mixing bleach and vinegar. For those not in the know, essentially don't mix bleach with any other chemical except water to dilute it.

If you do decide to mix bleach and vinegar in an enclosed area and stay in there you won’t have to ever worry about washing your clothes again! Chlorine gas fixes that problem right away! (DISCLAIMER: I’m being facetious, you’ll die)
