Frugal hack fail..

Hello again..i have to say that i see lots of hacks for making life easier and some do work.

However i tried this one and it failed.

Frugal hack for cleaning out your  smelly washing machine..Mouthwash.

You pour it in the drum and the dispensers and set it on a regular wash.

Well to be honest i did and wasn't impressed at all.

Yes the machine itself smells minty fresh but when i put a wash on this morning wow the smell almost knocked me out..stagnant water smell. So i will be going back to my old faithful of soda crystals and vinegar.

Maybe it was me or perhaps my machine is just a bit past it and may need a total service.

Have you ever tried a frugal hack that works or didn't?
