Smelly johnson after washing

[Feek]

I've never noticed Stan smelling after he's had a wash

Certainly interesting using the dryer. 60c heat is a little warm

Fully remove your detergent drawer (sometimes a clip underneath or if not requires a strong sharp tug to full pull out). Clean the drawer fully with a toothbrush, clean the roof of the machine where the drawer has been removed from (you will see little holes for water jets) and then also clear out any build up towards the back of this space. Do not poke anything down the hole where the detergent goes.

Clean the door seal as best as you can, getting into the folds of the rubber, notably at the 6 o'clock section where water is often left behind. NB- if you find a small hole at this place, do not be concerned, they are manufactured in order to drain water but often become clogged with build-up.

Now undertake a maintenance wash on the machine, selecting the hottest wash your machine allows - usually a 90 degree cottons programme with No items of clothing within the machine at all. Ideally accompany this wash with a handful of soda crystals (cheap from any supermarket) placed in your detergent drawer. This will not remove any staining of the machine caused by such build up, but it will kill of this form of bacteria which cleaning by hand will not.

We did this at the weekend, our washing machine is now absolutely sparkling. I swear that the sun could be pulled out of the sky and replaced by the machine.

Glad to be of some help Mr Feek! I know I'm quick to leach advice from other's so it's nice to know I can give some back on occassion!
