The washing machine smells

If your washing machine smells like rotten eggs, sour or mouldy smell, the reasons may be one of the following:

  • If the washing machine smells sour, it may be due to an over dosage of soap. An over dosage of soap will often create a coating on the outside of the drum. This coating can be several millimetres thick, and with time it will infuse a smell into the clothing during and after wash. To get rid of the soap coating we recommend that you use this washing machine cleaner.
  • If the washing machine smells like rotten eggs or sewage like, the fault may be that the drain hose is wrongly mounted or that there is dirt in the water lock. When mounted correctly the drain hose is placed before the water lock. When using floor drain the water lock is often built into the floor, but with kitchen installations the water lock is the u-shaped part of the drainpipe.
  • If the washing machine smells mouldy, it may be because the door has been shut for a longer period of time. When the washing machine is not in use, the door should always be open to avoid bad odour. It may also help to have the soap drawer pulled out a little, so fresh air can get through this way as well.

If you have gone through all of the above without finding the cause of the smell, it may be due to a lack of machine maintenance.

  • Professional machine cleaner for washing machines (500 ml)
    Our professional machine wash for washing machines is a specially developed product that ensures effective cleaning of your washing machine. With regular use, this product can remove limescale, soap scum and accumulated dirt. The result is a clean and fresh machine that performs optimally and has a longer service life.

    Why use Professional Machine Cleaner?
    Detergent ensures that your clothes are washed clean, but it does not ensure that the washing machine is kept clean. On the contrary, the detergent accumulates over time in your washing machine and can result in a smelly machine. It is therefore important that you occasionally use machine cleaners that clean the washing machine deeply and leave it clean and fragrant.

    Here's how to do it:
    1. Empty the washing machine of clothes.
    2. Pour 2 dl into the soap box. Run a program at 40°C without prewash.
    3. Repeat the process regularly, preferably once a month, to keep the machine in top shape.
