Reply to comment by AnyDamnThingWillDo in Washing machine still smells - what can I clean? by ShelfordPrefect

I've already done two hot drum clean cycles with Dr Beckmann's washing machine cleaner, and if anything it smells worse immediately after - I suspect if there's water sitting, it will stay warm longer after a hot cycle

You sure the smell is coming from the machine? Have you checked the waste water outlet? May be as simple as pouring some drain cleaner directly down the drain pipe

The ‘worse immediately after’ is the dissolved lime scale being drained out. That stuff stinks to high heaven.
