If your washing machine smells musty, mold and residue are usually the culprit. Start by pretreating moldy areas, especially the gasket, with a mold remover or bleaching gel. These don’t legally claim to kill mold, but they do an excellent job breaking it down where it matters. Next, run a washing machine cleaning tablet through a sanitize or tub clean cycle to dissolve built-up detergent and softener residue hiding in the drum. Denture tablets work surprisingly well here. Remove and thoroughly
