In these cases we usually have clothes with a musty smell, but also the washing machine and that is why it is advisable to make a wash without clothes with lemon juice from 5 lemons and a tablespoon of baking soda and you will see how to eliminate the bad smell immediately
- Check the filter of the washing machine : it is usually located at the front of the washing machine and there will get stuck bobby pins, buttons, coins, etc., which were previously in our clothes or in their pockets.
