Hey, G! I actually buy that Washing Machine Cleaner for my front load washer! They need cleaned once a month or so because of they way they r built, they can start to smell a little "gamey". If u use the cleaner, it keeps everything smelling fresh!
As soon as I read your post, I knew the answer - they're for front-loading machines! I never had a front-loader machine until the last year, and they can start smelling bad if you keep the door closed all of the time (I guess the water never completely drains??? Ew.) Anyway, it DOES sound funny - but it really is needed. ;)
Yup, I have a front loader and I leave the door open but even so some mildew built up and it does smell a little icky...running plain bleach through would work as well...I'll never buy a front loader again - totally hate this machine!
