I have to tell you I am very pleased. Having an acute sense of smell- I always get teased for smelling odors that others don’t. For about 6 months we’ve had a mold/mildew odor in our 1 1/2 year old washer. I found your site on the internet and ordered Smellywasher Cleaner.
I can tell you my husband was amazed at all the mold coming up and I felt “vindicated”. Here is the other interesting side of things. Coinciding with the smell of the constant mold/mildew for the last 6 months has been the fact that I have been constantly sick. I came down with cold after cold after respiratory sickness along with the rest of the family since Thanksgiving. I was literally getting sick of being sick. The last bout was bronchitis with whopping cough.AFTER I did the cleaning out of the washer with your product and removed all the mold/mildew, I have NOT gotten sick since and have had 2-3 weeks without any respiratory problems. I have come to believe that it has something to do with me cleaning out the mold, and no mold residue on towels or clothing. My husband is coming to believe this also. It’s so nice to breath in and NOT smell the mold…….I love your product and have told several people about it.

Over a 3 month period of time, I started to notice that my towels and gym clothing were starting to smell like mildew. They smelled fresh when they came out of the dryer, but the minute they got damp, I immediately could smell mildew. I also noticed a strong mildew odor coming from my washing machine. I Googled “smelly washing machine” and came across the website for the Smellywasher product. I immediately purchased the product (and at a reasonable price, I might add!). Before using the product I had the Sears Repair Man come to my house to do a thorough cleaning of the outside of the drum on my machine. He himself HIGHLY recommended Smellywasher and encouraged me to run a cycle after his visit as well as maintenance cycles. I received the product in the mail and followed the instructions. I could not believe the amount of fungus that rose to the top of the water even after having it scraped off by hand. At this point, I was ready to “throw in the towel” and purchase a new washing machine. The people at Smellywasher.com encouraged me to continue to run the cleaner a few more times, and sure enough there was less and less fungus rising to the top of the water. The Smellywasher Cleaner really ate away at the mildew sitting on the outside of the drum and got rid of it for good. Prior to using Smellywasher I had tried bleach, baking soda and nothing worked. I continue to run maintenance cycles every few months and am happy to report that I have NO fungus in my washing machine. Smellywasher Cleaner proves itself!! Thank you Smellywasher.com !

Oh my goodness!! My sister and I purchased some of the Smellywasher Cleaner and just tried it out a couple of days ago. We are both truly amazed at what that did for our washing machines, towels and clothes!! We were equally amazed at what was floating on top of the water when we let it sit overnight in the Smellywasher solution. We would have never dreamed that stuff was in our machines!! We just can’t say enough good about your product. Both our washers look brand new and are so clean!! We have already recommended this product to friends and family members. Thank you so very much for your product and also the tips on detergent. We just couldn’t be any happier or more satisfied with your product. Our machines and towels don’t have that sour smell anymore. It’s just wonderful. With many, many thanks,

I have had my front loader washer for about a year. Every-time I opened the machine I would notice a funky smell. In addition the clean towels would stink. I called the manufacturer and they told me to do a bleach procedure. It did not work. Then I found this product and I was definitely skeptical. It took 2 tablespoons and no more smell. In addition the tech support was incredible. Buy this product if you have a smelly front loader! You will not be disappointed!

Thank you it sure works, we almost gave up!
does it work for top loading washers?
any change in how much you put in?
what setting should the water level be at?
Hi Deb/
Smellywasher Cleaner will remove moldy odor from any top loading or front loading washing machine.
It is used the same way in either washer. Simply put it in the dispenser (even a liquid dispenser), agitate and allow to soak for several hours - even overnight.
Fill it to it’s normal water level. In very extreme cases it’s a good idea to add 1-3 gallons of hot water either through the door/lid or through the detergent dispenser as in extreme cases the heaviest concentration of fungus buildup is just above the normal water line where the suds and soiled water splash against the outer tub and don’t get rinsed out.
I left this comment already, but not sure if you got it. That powder works great!
My wife was recently very ill. A life threatening disease. That has gotten her to buying organic food, taking supplements and exercising. She gets understandably freaked out by mysterious things because you do not know if they are the cause of illness. When she searched on the internet for the cause of the smell in our front loading washer she read “MILDEW.” After seeing those TV stories about basement mildew problems she was ready to throw our washing machine out. Smelly Washer. One treatment as directed. Bingo. No more smell. And the organic part means my wife uses it with no worries. Thanks!!!
Thank you smelly washer!!!
I was so disappointed when I started reading all the websites where people were complaining about the smell from their washing machines - and they also were complaining about the strong residual oder of the other products on the market. My family deals with allergies, too, so I didn’t want any strong smells or perfume. If you have a smelly washer you have got to buy Smelly Washer!!!
It worked first time I tried it on my Bosch front loader, and it’s much more cost effective than the alternatives on the market.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Carolanne,
You’re very welcome! We often get emails from people who state respiratory problems have ended after the washer has been cleaned! Detergents can contain chemicals that cause ailments.
