My washing machine smells like mildew?

My machine smells like mildew and it's stinking up the whole house. Are there any quick fixes?My washing machine smells like mildew?
first check the connection pipe under the sink .sometimes it can get clogged .


next add 1/2 cup of bicarbonate of soda and 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the draw.





put the machine on the hottest wash with no clothes in it


You may need to do this a few times.My washing machine smells like mildew?
Try using baking soda through the wash cycle with hot water. Hopefully, this should work. Good Luck! I hate it when smells linger through the whole house.
wash it out without clothes
First suggestion, whip up on your maid for laundering her dirty crew socks without detergent,,,LOL





Run the cycle with no clothing, but a healthy dose of bleach.


Monitor the lint filter and or anything left behind when you do run a load of clothing... IE: that pack of Bleu Cheese left in the pocket of your jeans,,,smiles.


You can also replace hoses, the minor filter in the inlet hose, check the drain hose for debris, and perhaps around the machine for anything not associated with laundering.


Never leave the lid open, and if you have cats, monitor their bathroom habits if their litter boxes happen to be in close proximety to the machine.

More can be found in my article, ';101 reasons to shower often, launder clothing after even a single short term wearing, keep any hamper covered, and NEVER leave laundry unattended for days at a time, in the machine after laundering.';
run a cycle of bleach and water. then run a cycle with baking soda and water this should rid it of the mildew smell. also check underneath and behind the washer to insure there are no leaks possibly causing the mildew smell
I think it is the time to chnage it.
you should run your washer with a cup of bleach or javex in a full load,with no clothes in it of course (lol), and don't leave wet clothes in the washer too long if it can be helped, even if you take them out asp and lay them on the dryer until you can get back to them and leave your washer door open it will circle air in,(if your worried about cats try putting a book there or something so air is getting in, i have 2 cats and they never go in the washer,(make too much noise and that would disturb their sleep, lol)
