Hi everyone,
How to remove the oil smell from a washing machine?
I washed several towels the other day and after I reached in, they smelled like two stroke motor oil. One of them was used to clean up the oil but now my washer has oil inside it. How do I remove it and the smell? I've ran it several time and it has reduced the smell but it's still there. Any ideas? Thanks!!!!:a040::boxing2::clap2:

Well.....I hope this helps with the oil smell, I am sure others might have better suggestions. My son races various toys hehe, snowmobiles, dirt bikes, 4 wheelers....just about anything with speed hehe. I wash his gear and towels and such with Oxi Clean and they come out brand new and there is never any left over oil smell. If you dont have that....maybe a cup or two of bleach and fill washer with warm or hot water
let it sit and soak for a bit and then let it rinse out.

Good luck...hope it helps. :shrug:

Vinegar is a neutralizer. Use plenty of it. Also www.heloise.com has helpful information. Good luck.

Hi, :girlneener:
First you Run the washing machine on hat water without clothing in it
just put 2 cups of white vinegar, 1/2 cup bleach, 1 cup baking soda that should take care of the problem.:beer3:
