It's far more likely that the soil pipe isn't connected at the optimum height & water from the kitchen sink trap is being sucked back into the machine.

I've never ever had to wash a washing machine out as described above or had one that smells like dog shit The worst I've encountered is the drawer getting a bit gungy, but that's about it.
I've never had one that smells like dog crap either, but I do get the occasional stale smell. Like stagnant water as you say. Strange, I know of a few people that get that smell. I put it down to only having to do maybe 3 or 4 loads of washing a week rather than every day, so sometimes its left standing for a few days. And no, my waste pipe isn't in the best of places, but it's the only place it can go. As with most of dodgy plumbing in this house, all down to Mr Botchajob that lived here before.

I'm not allowed near our machine since I dyed our girls white school shirts a hazy shade of purple

Bold 2-in-1 crushed silk and jasmine - yummy!

EDIT: not sure if it's any good for your machine but it sure smells nice!


It smells divine but it brings me out in a rash
