∙ 17y agoIt could be mold and mildew. Two things to try. The first is to replace the hose cables from the faucet to the machine. These should be replaced every couple of years anyway, and if there is mold in there, the first water out of it could be pretty smelly. After that, try running a cold water cycle with bleach and a cup of vinegar. That should kill off the mold and mildew. or
Washing machine odor is caused by a buildup of detergents and fabric softeners. This slimy, odor-causing buildup is hidden inside your washer which is the perfect environment for fungus to grow in. The fungus smell from the washer makes your towels smell like mildew and can even affect people with Allergies and Asthma! Google "smelly washer"

How do you wash a jacket?
Presuming you mean "leather" bomber jackets: Wash by hand using standard laundry soap and warm water; scrub both the inside and outside, but primarily the inside...this is where the sweat and dirt collects and causes the jacket to smell bad. Then let the jacket air dry (by hanging it up). Do not put it in a washing machine, if you do, be prepared for some SHRINKAGE.

How do you remove musty smell from laundry?
wash it!! I think you are referring to the odor that front loading washers seem to get and then make clothes smell. You can run the machine on the shortest cycle with about 1/4 cup bleach added at the beginning or I believe Lever Brothers are making a solution to stop the smell but sorry, I don't know what its called.
