Three years ago, I went out and bought one of those fancy front loading washers. I thought, “ooh, they look so cool, and they use so much less water, and ooh I must have one.” Well what they don’t tell you at the store? They STINK!
Smelly Washer heard about my stinky smelly washer and sent me their solution. Smelly Washer is a powder that you add to the detergent basin, let the washer fill and agitate and let soak overnight. It is a all natural product that aims to take the unpleasant smell of mold and mildew out of your washer and out of you clothes.
I tested Smelly Washer in my own smelly washer. I used it once, improvement. I used it again, it definitely got the washer cleaner. And definitely less smelly. But, I think my smelly washer could probably use one more overnight soaking to get it back to showroom standards. The key to maintaining a good smelling washer is keeping the door open. This is a problem for me as my toddler closes it all the time. So, as long as I have Smelly Washer around, I’ll be ok.

It took a couple of years for my washer to smell.
I don’t remember how long it took, but I’m kind of ticked for all the money we paid for it!!
My washing machine started to smell about a year ago
It actually smells right now…We live out in the country and the water doesn’t smell the best…I never knew they made stuff like this for us people with stinky washers…What a great product!!

I would say it took about a year.
It took about a year…
We’ve had our front loading washer about a year now and we’ve been really careful about drying it out after each load. It’s just starting to get a bit funky.
