Is there a trick to clean washer?

the trick is the bits the cleaning cycle never touches. run an empty hot wash with a machine cleaner or a couple of cups of white vinegar, fine, but then: - front loader: pull back the rubber door seal and wipe out the gunk in the fold, that's where the smell comes from - take the detergent drawer out completely and wash it, there's usually mould up inside the slot - the drain pump filter, little door at the bottom front on most models. towel down first, water comes out. hair, coins, the lot leave the door and drawer ajar after every wash and it stays clean.
