I think my washing machine is a bit stinky. Might try one of those washing mashing cleaners. I’ve done vinegar washes before that have some success, but maybe the proper stuff might be more thorough? I always leave the door open after washing so it dries out, but for some reason it still get musty over time.
Is it a front loader because usually it's the seals that get manky.
Good idea will try a seal cleaning.
Leaving the door open is exactly what you are meant to do. But you should also leave the drawer open and give your seals a dry after you've finished with it for the day. I use and old tea towel.
Once a month get a sponge and soak it in vinegar or disinfected. Give the drum, seals, drawer and door a wipe over. Chuck the sponge in and run the machine for a hygiene wash. Dry it over when it's done.
Check any filters. They can also pong.
