Run the washer through a wash cycle (no laundry, though) with very hot water and a cup of bleach. This should remove the mildew and odors from the washer. Just be sure to let it go through the entire wash and rinse cycle. Then leave the lid to the washer open to let it air dry.

Does chlorine remove the odour of water?
If you mean the odor of mold or mildew caused from water leaks, yes, diluted chlorine in fresh water will help. However, chlorine--bleach--does NOT kill mold spores. You can put the dilution in a spray bottle CLEARLY MARKED with what's in the bottle. Or, use a broom wet with the dilution across concrete basement floors. Make sure it dries so you don't add more mildew and mold.Though it does not kill mold or mildew, either, spraying Febreeze (TM) high into the air and toward basement walls helps to decrease the mold-mildew odor.
How do you remove mildew odor?
Kitty litter is a cheap an effective way. Get the kitty litter that is like fine sand. You can put it on anything and it will absorb the mildew odor. Leave it for at least 3 hours (longer if you can) then vacuum up. Kitty litter is also good to carry in the trunk of your car if you live in a place that has a lot of snow. It helps to give your tires some traction. Marcy
