Method laundry liquid- loved it but now every load smells awful!

[shabbychic1]

Anyone else having this problem? I wonder if it gets stuck in the pipes or something? For a few months it's works really well and cloths have smelled fresh from the machine but now it's awful! Such a shame.

i wonder if you have a separate problem with your machine, and the method laundry liquid is a red herring - you could try doing a maintenance wash and see if that helps.

I use method sporadically (the blue one) - normally for smaller loads/gentle washes where i need less product, as usually i used simply washing tabs, which obviously cannot be divided. it still smells the same as it ever did.

I would clean the washing machine if I were you

Put on an empty wash at 90 degrees. See if that helps.

Laundry liquids contain no bleaching agents so your machine doesn't get cleaned out. Instead it gunges up and goes smelly.

Liquid detergent definitely affects the smell of the washing after a while. I used to put liquid in a ball inside the machine, so it wasn't clogged up in the pipes (& later found that liquitabs had the same effect anyway) but the clean washing gradually got more & more musty.

I'm using old-fashioned bio powder now & the difference is amazing! Try using powder for a bit & then alternate powder & the Method

Done hot wash wash with vinegar and another hot wash with bedding using fairy non bio powder- smells lovely again! Thanks

Oh good

I've always used powder but bought some liquid as it was on special offer and my machine is starting to smell
