We have a "water saving front loader" and found that you have to be preventative by keeping the door open, wiping the rubber, and emptying out any extra water from the detergent container after every use.

After using the washer cleaner, you can try the above, but you may not be able to remove the smell once it has taken hold.

Good Luck!
