1. Overloading the washing machine is an easy way to make your clothes smell like the detergent. Trying to lessen the number of rounds to the machine by doing all clothes at will not only put your clothes at risk of smelling bad but also keeps washing machine at risk of wearing out more quickly. This is due to the cramped space that keeps the drum from properly rotating and distributing the detergent you put into the machine to clean your clothes.
2. If your clothes are still smelly after a wash, there is a huge possibility that the washing machine can harbour mould and mildew, as a result, the clothes come out to with a wired tinge of musty and rank. Both, the front and top-loading washing machines can be prone to mould, front-load designs may be more susceptible than the more traditional top-loading machines. Cleaning the washing machine's drum and rinsing out the empty unit with a cup of vinegar in a spin cycle will certainly help remove mould and residual odours. 
3. To have a proper clean wash and a fresh after smell, the clothes certainly need to dry aster the soap water session. If the dryer is not able to get hot enough to properly dry loads, you inadvertently leave your wet loads in the dryer for too long. This causes your clothing to become mouldy or sour as a result. Drying the clothes after a good thorough wash is certainly a must.
