Another source of the smell can be the drain filter. Open the panel underneath the door (3 hex-shaped screws), and you'll see a cylindrical white plastic thing. Unscrew the cap (the part facing you) and be prepared with either a wet-vac or a bunch of towels- because it'll dump a couple gallons. I've found everthing from legos to pencils, and always a few bobby pins. Mold grows in this piece too, so soak in a borax solution.Jesse Owenshttp://www.cleaningallstars.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16693558.post-32719040512447404992010-06-22T09:28:40.973-07:002010-06-22T09:28:40.973-07:00It is very important to maintain the washing machi...It is very important to maintain the washing machines in a clean condition.Since they function with the use of water the possibility of damp not leaving the gadget could be obvious...so extra care has to be taken to clean it and be free from mold and mildew.Feminine Hygiene Productshttp://www.carecleaningandprotection.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16693558.post-33213132770230324622010-06-09T15:46:24.747-07:002010-06-09T15:46:24.747-07:00It could be, but I haven't noticed it as a pat...It could be, but I haven't noticed it as a pattern. I think most of the problem is moisture in a confined area with no air flow. I'm off to Europe in a few weeks and can't wait to see if they have the same problem!

Anti-bacterial microfiber cloths are pretty awesome, aren't they?<br /><br />Do you think the hardness of the water has anything to do with the stains and smell?Suzannehttp://www.suzannesnorwex.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16693558.post-17970141132983458982010-03-10T07:50:44.762-08:002010-03-10T07:50:44.762-08:00Thank you!

But the last two (yes, two in 5 years?!) washers I have purchased have been awful and they collect a musty smell. I appreciate your advice. To a larger point, I believe manufacturers are planning parts to break so we have to buy appliances every 5 years. This is criminal. What are your thoughts on this? <br /><br />Carol<br />www.thebelist.comCarol Tuftshttp://www.thebelist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16693558.post-36426407893193365802010-03-09T04:10:40.903-08:002010-03-09T04:10:40.903-08:00Thank you for the general purpose cloth in our blo...Thank you for the general purpose cloth in our bloggy boot camp swag bags!
