I'm now revisiting what might be the issue with each step in each attempt to remove the odor out of my washing machine. Which brings me back to the beginning.
I have to say that I started with bleach first because well for one reason. I already had it, well sorta. I had a little but needed more. Thing is that you can always use this for other things not just laundry. So buying another quart or something isn't going to be a problem for when you have to clean other things.
Regarding how well it actually cleaned the washer, I think overall it did a good job to mask the problem intiatially. I think had I been doing more hot washes along with bleach. I could have maintained a clean tub. Looking back at it all, it may not be the best solution for a smelly washing machine that has slowly become that way.
Would using Clorox or bleach by itself be the most effective way to get rid the odors? I'm not sure that I can conclusively say that it's ineffective. However, it was the first thing that I tried. Over a period of 2-3 washings with only bleach, my situation to tame the odor was marginal. So while it may have helped a little, I don't think it really addresses the root cause of the problem that I had.
