Improper installation or use of the washing machine

could lead to a buildup of detergent residue in the
washing machine that may produce mildew or musty
smells. If you clean the washer tub regularly on a
monthly basis using Tub Clean it will minimize the
possibility that detergent residue will build up and
mildew or musty smells may occur.
