I used vinegar and a 'scrubby' sponge, with a little washing soda.

I 3rd the option of vinegar and once it's clean, purchase a shower clean spray at the dollar store, lightly spray drum after wash of clothes and wipe dry, for leaves the washer drum fresh & clean.  Try it, it works!! And remember to use the spray wash in the shower to keep the shower clean.

They sell detergent made specifically for this problem. They are sold as tablets and work great. Walmart sells them as many supermarkets too.
