The Funky Washer

Have a washer that smells like an old tent? Accidentally forget to put laundry in the dryer? There’s nothing worse than the smell of a funky washer or a funky load of laundry!

To get the funk out of a forgotton load in the wash, rewash it using your detergent and a shot of vinegar (how much depends on what’s in there… A load of towels will need a lot of vinegar, while a load of sheets probably not). When the cycle is done, put it through rinse again, using HOT water, and chuck it IMMEDIATELY in the dryer.

To de-funkify your washer, spray it down with vinegar, put it through the rinse cycle with 2 towels, and then leave your lid open to air-dry!

In fact, the Stepford Wife always has her washer lid open when it’s not in use to prevent funky washer smells.

The product “Simple Green” also is a wonder against the funky washer.

Remember! NEVER mix bleach with vinegar. That makes for a funky and toxic washer!
