Seconded. Also, to prevent your washer from smelling in the first place, don't use fabric softener, and don't use too much detergent. Doing so will make it impossible for your washer to properly rinse away all the dirty water. If you have particularly soiled clothes, run them through a rinse and spin only cycle first with a half cup of white vinegar. Then, do the normal wash cycle.

Yup, the detergent I have comes with a cup for measuring. It has five lines that go about halfway up the cup. The directions say to fill just below line 1 for medium and just below line 2 for large loads. It's such a small amount.
