Smelly Washer Solution

It seemed I had tried everything to remove a mold smell from my washer! Bleach, vinegar or baking soda didn't make any difference. I called the manufacturer and they told me to buy a cleaner that THEY sell! THE GALL! The cleaner (affresh) didn't help at all! I called back and they told me to order some more! We did with same results and we decided to get a different washer even though it was working fine! After reading a tip in Washing Machine Wizard I ordered a washer cleaner from smellywasher.com

It took only 1 tablespoon of this cleaner to remove the gross green buildup! It also removed the mildew smell from our new towels! They advise to use less detergent and fabric softener. I didn't realize it but the odor was even making our house smell because the laundry room is next to the furnace room!
Thank you Washing Machine Wizard

Try Affesh. Its a tablet that slowly disolves over a wash cycle. really bad smells - use 3 pucks in 3 consecutive wash cycles. Worked great

I decided to take a chance and order the product of SMELLYWASHER.COM.

One capful solved the mold problem of years!

I used even less to take the smell out of my towels.

Now, about 3 months later, there still is no mold smell in the washer.

by: Sandy From Wyoming

I ordered the smelly washer solution and it lasted one or two wash cycles and the smell from the solution was almost as bad as the mold.

I pulled the tray out and cleaned all the mold, started using about a 1/2 cup of dry tide and oxi clean mixture to wash. Went back to dryer sheets in my dryer, no liquid fabric softner. Have been doing this for about a month and no more smelly wash.

by: Sharon

We have a front load he washer and when it gets stopped up it develops a smell all its own.
You have to take the door off at the bottom and screw the cap off to unstop it. Then run the washer with only white viniger, about 1 quart.

by: Anonymous

I tried everything as well, but my towels smelled like mildew. The washer however, smelled clean. I just received the SmellyWasher product and, after just one washing, the smell is gone. I was amazed... What a great product and it was easy and simple to use...

by: Anonymous

I had the same problem and found there is a reason that the mold smell was developing in the first place. If your washer has a vent tube down from the washer then you should have no problems with smell, but what I found out in my older home was that a vent tube was not installed in the drainage pipe therefore some sewage backup was coming back into my washer when it ran. I had a plumber install a vent tube downward from my washer drain and the problem disappeared. It was absolutely disgusting thinking that sewage was coming back into my washer, but now my clothes smell clean and fresh every time. Hope this helps.
