Learned something new yesterday! And it worked!
One of our sons has a friend who is a wizard with appliances. He told our son to try putting Tang powder (that lovely orange drink) into an empty dishwasher. Run it on the longest cycle with the hottest water. It cleans and freshens up the dishwasher.
The measurement he said was a full container. The Tang I bought had a measuring cup as a cap, but I only I filled it up and scattered it around the bottom of the dishwasher. No more odor after a cycle (I have ran two loads of dishes) since the clean out.
Then I tried it out on my front loader and it worked there too! No more musty odor lingering about even after the tub was completely dry. I just finished two loads of towels and not only did they smell better the tub did too. I used the same amount as I did for the dishwasher.
This might be a regular thing for my washer and dishwasher.
