Anyone have a towel that doesn't wash up nice and fresh?
I've got a swimming towel that frankly smeels terrible now, even right after the wash. It smells stagnant, Mrs Stud won't even give it to the Dog LOL.
I thought perhaps the machine isn't rinsing thoroughly but nothing else smells, clothes are fine and smell great. I'm forced to believe that it is something to do with the water at the YMCA...perhaps even after showering I am sweating chlorine or other things into the towel.
Does anyone else have this issue or any thoughts.
:rofl:
Combination makes a great cleaning solution. It is a Chemdry Carpet Cleaning solution. It makes lots of bubbles.

Yeah, but carbonation, in and of itself, cleans nothing!
I’ve seen quite few of them and there’s hardly enough water in them during the wash cycle to really get the towels clean. :confused:
The icon you used is called "confused" and it seems particularly apropos to me. How do you know how much water it takes to wash clothes? I think your posts on this subject are complete and utter drivel.
I've heard cases where certain front-load washers had problems of not draining properly causing mold to grow, but that's a design flaw of those particular machines, not front-load, HE washing machines in general.
Dropping acid for two semesters doesn't count as "taking Chemistry" at least not in academic terms bud... ;)
Ohhhhh, perhaps that's why it took me so long to get my degree!
Just out of curiosity, what does the vinegar/baking soda combination do since the baking soda should neutralize the acetic acid in the vinegar? Chris, Mr. Chemistry, a little help here since I only had to have two semesters of Freshman Chemistry.
Acetic acid -- or any other acid -- will produce carbon dioxide bubbles from baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Not sure why it would clean anything.
As the person who de-stinks hockey clothing from the Husband and Son, I can say the cheapest way to get any stink out is by using hot water and baking soda (in addition to the detergent). I also soak really stinky jerseys in vinegar, baking soda and water in the sink before washing.

By the way, I was one of the expert witnesses who helped launch the successful lawsuit against Whirlpool (over their Calypso HE washer) which resulted in a $5 Million payout to buyers and a withdrawl of the machine from the market in 2004.
Please cite the specific case in which you were qualified as the expert witness. Don't send us a link to a letter to the editor but tell us the case and when you were deposed.
