Washer Smells Bad? How to Clean Your Smelly Washer | FIX.com

[@denaj6711]

Very helpful, first I'm hearing about the filter. Just found ours at the front of the machine Thanks!

[@denisegrasmick2898]

Thank you! Great presentation and helpful content! 😊

[@NecNec65]

Great video!! Thank you so much!

[@Janet8925]

One thing that he's missed is that little tube on the bottom after opening the door you'll see it. Just get a bucket or something and take the little plug out of the hose and you can drain the water out before opening the filter in there! No water mess on your floor. That little hose is there for a reason. LOL I got lucky and seen that on another video. I couldn't stand the smell anymore. I appreciate all the videos. They have really helped me. I like the idea of vinegar and lemon juice in the washer and baking soda. That's a good idea.

I’ve been cleaning puppy blankets with poop and pee twice a week or more. Now my clothes sort of have the smell I’m definitely going to try this ! I don’t have another washer but I will be taking them to the local laundry mat.

[@arosales0811]

Thank you sir

[@javidalekozai7349]

Thank you very much, it was very helpful. All cleaning tips done and smell issue resolved.

[@Verycreative45]

thank you for that tip I appreciate it , I didn’t know that .

[@seanryan9472]

Vinegar cancels out the baking soda. It’s better to just add baking soda to an empty washer and then add vinegar to the softener compartment or wait till rinse cycle and then add 1/2 a cup. Also most front loading washers like mine, start there cycles by draining the drum of any water before adding the water. When you added the vinegar it sucked it out into the drain.

[@William-Morey-Baker]

yeah, his advice is borderline useless...

[@DnyAln]

Very useful comment you are on point sir

[@YelenaSgt44]

What the vid describes worked well for me. Top loader GE machine.

[@Edseltje]

@@William-Morey-Baker Actually, @seanryan9472 his comment is really on point. Vinegar (acetic acid dissolved in water) WILL cancel out baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate). The additional remark regarding washing machines their pumping routines is also really useful since I have (wastefully) preloaded copious amounts of acetic acid into dirty washing machines.

[@kuroe-chan5190]

Eh since we moved I. The washmachine has worked well. We are on well water but have a softener. The rubber around door actually is pretty clean. I use afresh off beans once a month and it didn’t seem to help. It just smells like stale old water . Sigh also our water pressure is horrible on it something’s blocked I’m over it. I just go to the laundromat now I can’t even easily get to those filters

[@TheBay-59]

Should I select the auto clean after putting in the wht vinegar and baking soda?

[@isaacdimaaksen]

Baking soda and vinegar react and create water and carbon dioxide, so which one has the cleaning effect? Or you just washing with water?

[@ginajayag7142]

Thank you!

[@vulakyr]

How warm it should be ?

[@Clemfamic]

What liquid do you mean?

[@lisafarmen9367]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@KT-wr3cv]

I have a frontload but no drain at the front.

[@sunshine-yr4qw]

Why would you cover baking soda label?

[@DE4ever1000]

I just got a front loader from a friend and it smells like mildew. Hopefully I get the smell out and in the future I'll never buy a front loader. It seems they're too high maintenance.

[@Fjordavy]

I went with this video because I happened to have the stuff at home. It seems to have worked!

[@richardoshea2071]

Hi, what temp did you run it on, and for how long please? They always seem to miss of the important bits

[@yasinali2470]

You should run at 60 degrees & 1hrs above,,

[@kimberleytui179]

Borax type detergent! Kirkland Signature.

[@stephaniesims9867]

Everything was for a front loading washing machine not a top loading one or did I miss something? 😢

[@brianiraheta7849]

the steps are the same with the solutions and other stuff he puts in during his example he also mentions how you have to clean the filter located near the bottom left or right side at the front of the washer 1:14

[@tashaleeann]

Yea, cos I don't have a detergent dispenser, lol.

[@tashaleeann]

Or a hatch on the front with a filter.

[@zkk1001]

Why are you adding vinegar and Sodium bicarb in the same load? The Bicarb will neutralize the acidity of the vinegar, defeating its cleanning power...

[@joanbartlett533]

No filter on my washer

[@FoxyRodgers]

Tried it Let u know in 50 minutes

[@pauletteispassingiton943]

Use dry detergent..DO NOT use liquid detergent…Goodbye mold

[@michaeltidmarsh8633]

And my dumbass used vinegar and bi carb 😂😂😂

[@KnickerbockerGlory-l8z]

Doesn't work

[@michaelaehlers9783]

What about a top load washer. Instructions please

[@christiniascott]

This worked for my top washer.

[@JessicaT-qp9uv]

Nope...didn't work.

[@STnSHtube]

Agree

[@FoxyRodgers]

Try Clorox by your water trap Needs it if it’s black and gross
