Solvent Odor In Washing Machine
I have a Whirlpool Duet Washer. About a month ago, I accidentally washed a cloth soaked with a gun-cleaning solvent. Since that time, after many loads of wash and attempts to get rid of the smell - it persists both in the machine itself and usually in the clothes as well. Even going on vacation for a week and leaving the door open to air out didn't help.
I would greatly appreciate any advice or ideas anyone may have to solve this problem. Thanks!

If odor lingers after the vinegar try using Lemon KOOL-AID. The regular not the sugar sweetened. Takes smells out like magic in the dishwasher too.

Mix vinegar and baking soda, and run the machine full cycle. First put three tablespoons of baking soda in the machine. Then add 1/2 cup baking soda.

Try running a cycle of strong vinegar water in the washer. Vinegar is a natural cleaner and will take even gasoline odor off your hands.
