Oh no: tumble dryer smells sweaty!

Options
Hiya all!
Hope someone can help me on this - have just used tumble dryer after ages and although washing came out fine and doesn't smell, the tumble dryer itself smells faintly of sweat!!!!:eek:
:think: I always put clean clothes in so don't know where it comes from :confused:
Anyone had this problem before or got any idea as to why? Better still anyone know how to remove it?

    Sorry, no actual similiar experience ... but bicarb of soda soaks up smells and therefore eliminates them ... maybe it's worth putting a small bowl of this in the t/dryer and leaving it for a while? :confused:

    Off to put some in now and to sniff around a bit more to determine exactly where the smell is coming from!
    Better not be any of OH's sweaty tshirts stuffed into a corner somewhere or I will be :mad:
    I have been sniffing round all evening trying work out where the smell is coming from!!!!
    (can't find a sniffing smilie?):rolleyes:
