Washing Machines do not need to be cleaned every single day, and if it is kept uncleaned for a while, excessive foul smell will built-up in it. After some months, add white vinegar and baking soda to your washing machine and set it to the hottest water temperature, and high load setting. Let it spin for a minute and then open the lid of the machine, and let the mixture sit for an hour or so. Scrub the lids and outer parts with a brush and re-start the cycle. Any remaining residual will be removed as well. I also love this product!
