Any idea how to get rid of the smell or speed up it going?

My partner is very sensitive to it.

Im trying to do lots of washes.
10 washes in and no difference.

Thanks.

Might be worth a try. It has odour removing properties in it.

Ive been washing on 30 and on 60, depending on the clothing.
Same smelly result.

What machine is it - sounds like a fault tbh, have you spoken to the manufacturer in case they are aware of an issue?

I was thinking you meant the machine smells when in use or do you mean the washing comes out with a smell?

Neither are normal though...

Both.
The clothes having an odour is the biggest concern.
