About Smelly Washer
We created the first washing machine deodorizer, Smelly Washer Cleaner (formerly Purewasher), in 2005 after our founder, Paul Flynn, noticed a need for something customers could use regularly to remove the stinky residue left behind when washing laundry in both regular and high-efficiency washing machines. This residue often led to a mildew or mold odor in the machines themselves as well as on towels and other laundry and sometimes even throughout the entire home.
Regular washing machine maintenance helped the problem but it was not enough to completely get rid of the odor and to keep it away.
As an appliance repair technician, Paul was familiar with the buildup that caused odor and often provided customers with tips and advice on keeping odor away after cleaning their washers. Customers need something they can use themselves to clean their clothes washers and Smelly Washer was born.
