How does one get rid

[Clippy]

Try bleeding your radiators.

Of the bad smell in the washing machine that occurs when her indoors has left a load in there for too long?

1. Get a new wife/partner who is prompt in emptying the machine when the cycle has finished./
2. Get off your @rse and promptly empty the machine at the end of the cycle
3. Pay a housekeeper who gets off their @rse and promptly empties the machine at the end of the cycle.
4. Do any of the above in the local laundrette.

Have you tried switching it off and then back on again?

No, I collect houses.

I did have one house with a really dodgy drain, but a council busy-body turned up with one of these historical preservation orders saying we couldn't knock down that corner of the house to redo the bathroom. Oddly enough about a week later the local dustbin wagon accidentally reversed into it anyway. So it got sorted at the same time it was rebuilt, with the council insurance paying the lot, and because of the preservation order, it was all the top craftsmen too.

Which is nice.

why doesn't she use the toilet?

Eventually we replaced the washing machine. That worked.

WTS works every time

We tried everything. Cups of Soda in a boil wash. Vinegar. More soda. More boiling. Smell would disappear briefly, but return with a vengeance. Eventually we replaced the washing machine. That worked.

Spray the inside of the machine with half a bottle of her favourite perfume. Tell her that next time it will be a whole bottle. That'll soon lick her into shape and free her from her slovenly ways.

PS You may want to inform her of your actions and ultimatums by post

Run it empty at the maximum temperature for a full cycle. This also clears whiffy drains.
