Can you clean a HE washer too often?

I do laundry at my FMIL's house every week. And every week, she washes her dog beds and her rugs that her dogs lay and pee on. My clothes and towels come out smelling nasty and stagnant.

She has Affresh and I've used bleach, but will using these too often harm the washing machine? I feel like it needs cleaning every week!

Re: Can you clean a HE washer too often?

  • The users manual may state how often it can/should be washed. I wash mine about once a month.

  • I would run a cycle with vinegar before you use it. It will sanitize and deoderize it, and since it is just vinegar it wont harma thing. Id maybe use the cleaners/bleach once a month
