I have changed deodorants a couple of times thinking the musty smell was my body. Lo and behold! I bet anything it's the buildup from my LG front loader washer. Any suggestions? I've tried bleach on the "clean cycle" and also, vinegar on the "clean cycle". Nothing is helping. I have always left my door ajar per, the Home Depot salesman when we purchased the washer and dryer 5 yrs ago. This odor in our clothes has got to go.

I found that using powdered soap caused a build up in the washer creating this odor. Using the hd soap can sometimes stop this problem. They also make tablets you can purchase that will help resolve this problem. I solved mine by running an empty load(with detergent) on the hottest water setting with 1 cup white vinegar and a hand full of backing soda in the washer. I also leave the door open between loads. You can also combat some of this problem by adding white vinegar in your fabric softener spot for your load of laundry. I especially do this for towels. It doesn't make your clothes smell like vinegar.
