Very stinky washing machine 😨

My washing machine was pretty grim so I've scrubbed all the seals, the drawer, done 3 90 degree washes, 2 with white wine vinegar. It's worse than ever. I've left it all open to dry. What next? I'm desperate to do a wash: will my clothes come out smelling like the machine?

As others have mentioned on here it sounds like you need to give your washing machine a deep clean using this washing machine cleaner I use it on my machine every couple of months and it works a treat.

Thanks

Went to Tesco in search of soda crystals but couldn't find any. Bought a bottle of Dettol washing machine cleaner instead and used on a 60 degree wash. I can't smell it anymore.. But i'm going to try and get those soda crystals as well.

I've done another few washes and it MIGHT be going. I found them in asda.

Wilkinson's/Wilko is a good place to find cheap cleaning basics.

Remember, you need to do service wash every month or so. I have been regular about this and so far had no problems.
