Body oil, dirt, hair, and scum get trapped in the gasket, seal, and detergent dispenser which can then cause clothes to smell unpleasant.Another issue that can cause clothes to smell is the product being used to wash the clothes themselves.With this in mind, fans of cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch, whose full name is Sophie Hinchliffe, have shared their solution to ensure washing smells clean and fresh after it’s been washed.The cleaning and lifestyle influencer has more than 4.5 million followers on Instagram and often shares her garden and home tips online.Fans of hers have taken to social media in recent years to share their own hacks for solving common household problems.On one such group, Facebook user Leanne Loder asked: ‘Hey everyone, I need some help.
