Laundry Issue

RacersEdge · #1 08-01-2005, 12:05 PM

Have you ever dried your clothes for not quite long enough, and they sit in the dryer just slightly damp and get a kind of funky musty smell to them. Even if you then dry to completion, the smell is still there. Do you need to re-wash, or is there something else to do?

Definite rewash for me.

Toss in a couple of scented Bounce sheets and run the dryer another cycle.

re-wash with bleach, dry with a bounce sheet or two. That musty smell is really gross.

Mildew?

Are you letting these clothes sit for an hour? A week? I feel like it might be closer to the latter if there's a smell being formed..

You can use the quick cycle, but definitely rewash.

I think I'm goig to give the fluff cycle + bounce a try - that works really well for getting out cigarette smoke.

Damn, I sound like Martha Stewart here or something.

Yup, I just throw them back in the wash. It happens occasionally.
