Really hoping someone can help me, Saturday night I accidentally put a cloth in the washing machine that was drenched in white spirit and did the wash. Not so bothered about the other items in there as they are just cleaning cloths and tea towels that I can easily replace but my washing machine absolutely stinks. I’ve kept the door open, I’ve done about 7 90degree washes, two of them I used bicarbonate soda and it’s made no difference. Help please, I need my washing machine back!!!

I'd run a hot wash with a load of white vinegar and wipe down all the seals and door with a cloth with vinegar on it. Then leave the door open and let it dry as best you can. I've washed with white spirit before (thanks husband) and this and maybe a couple of extra runs usually gets rid.
