There is a couple products for you to try at the store. But first you may
want to try vinegar. It is great for cleaning the inside of appliances to
eliminate odors and help with hard water buildup and soap build up. Run your
machine through a regular cycle with a cup of vinegar. If you do this once a
month it'll keep things fresh. Products you could try:
Lemi-shine (my favorite)
Dishwasher Magic
