I have eventually after years of persuasion got my wife to put the soap
directly into the drum.

We have discovered that using liquid soaps in the drum gives us far less
gunge and odour than using powders or tablets (drum or drawer).

Same here - haven't used the drawer for about 10 years (I just clean the
drawer every couple of years as tap water seems to be quite fertile).
Used to use Ecover and that would smell a bit. Changed to Bio-D and no smell
and better results. I buy it in 5 li containers from a local whole-food
co-op.
