I think it's supposed to be vinegar in the start, baking soda in the rinse cycle.

I'd guess bleach would work just fine, but I don't actually own any so I can't personally vouch. I bought a gallon of vinegar to clean up cat accidents because my blind one would keep re-using the same spots if I washed with anything else, and I've used it ever since.
