Dryer smells bad

A dryer gives you fresh and fragrant laundry in next to no time. But what should you do if things are very different and your dryer smells bad? Simple: wipe the drum from the inside with a damp cloth and a vinegar- or lemon-based cleaning solution. You’ll no doubt have vinegar and lemon in your kitchen – and they’ll help you banish bad smells in no time. These products work wonders and come in handy when your dryer smells bad.

Do you have a heat pump dryer? Bosch has developed a special cleaning agent that prevents odours and removes residues and lint.

Dryer laundry smells bad

Is the odour coming from your dried laundry a mystery to you? Your laundry smells when you put it out of your tumble dryer? There is no need to panic. There is normally a simple explanation for the bad smell. It’s usually caused by not using enough detergent, with the unpleasant smell arising during washing. If you follow the dosage instructions provided by your detergent manufacturer, the problem should soon be resolved. Another reason could be that the laundry was already smelly out of the washing machine. Check this option as well.
