I've seen them in tesco and other supermarkets. They might be 10/20p more expensive.

Do another empty hot wash as the first one maybe dislodged sludge. You can stick some vinegar in the drum too if you don't have soda crystals left

Oh I didn't think of tesco etc - I tried b&m. I did the hot wash with the soda crystals twice and it's still honking!

All the bigger supermarkets sell them

Have you cleaned out the filter and the drawer and the bit the drawer fits into? Run a wash with some fabulosa laundry sanitiser maybe

The drawer yes but the filter no - I will have a look at that next

I'm sure it's about £1 in tesco

80p in Sainsbury - I saw them last week

Sunshineandrainbow · 05/12/2021 00:38

I buy them in wilko and waitrose

A few dishwasher tablets on a hot wash does a good job of cleaning the washing machine.

Exciting update - I used half a bottle of Fabulosa cleanser - did the job perfectly and the ungodly smell is gone. Don't think I lol bother with the soda crystals again for the machine. Vom

I like the fabulosa laundry sanitiser for my smelly gym kit and dhs football kit.
