Laundry HELP!!

Ever since moving my washer just doesn't smell right. It probably has something to do with the water, but my clothes just aren't smelling clean and it's really bugging me. I'm using the same detergent and dryer sheets as I did before. Also we are having bleed issues for the first time ever. Not every load but it seems to be when my husband doesn't pre-treat a stain we have something bleed. Odd I know.

So any advice on how to make everything fresh again would be great because I don't like that my clothes don't smell like me.  HELP!!!

Re: Laundry HELP!!

  • have you tried a hot wash with nothing in the machine?  I did that with mine with a full scoop of oxiclean about a month ago and it really helped things smell fresh again.

     

    not sure about the bleeding issues, but i like the color catcher sheets.

  • Check your drainage trap if you have one. and ditto an empty hot cycle with oxyclean or bleach.
  • No drainage trap that I can find. Or find mention of. I just started a hot empty wash, a large load setting. I don't pay for water so I figured why not. I don't have any oxi clean so I'm trying with just some regular laundry detergent. To see if that might help. If not then I'll see what I have the might work like oxi clean. I really don't have the money to buy any. Well not for a couple of weeks.

    Thanks!
