I recently came across Smelly Washer and Smelly Towel Odor Remover. I have never noticed any smells from my washer, but like I said...I do have a smelly towel problem in the summer...somehow those beach towels just end up left in the car or bag after trips to the waterpark!
What causes a smelly washer? See their blog for a list of causes HERE. The main cause is overuse of detergent, which causes build-up on washers, and creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Smelly Washer was created to clean your washer of these things. Since I cloth diaper, I thought it was probably a good idea to start using Smelly washer on a regular basis....you know, just to make sure mold and mildew don't show up in my washer! It is simple to use. Just add a capful to a hot water soak, let it soak for a few hours, and let the rinse cycle take over. Easy enough for me!
Smelly Towel Odor Remover was created specifically for towels and clothing that have a musty or mildew smell. It is VERY simple to use! Just add a teaspoon of Smell Towel to your load of clothing! This really works on towels! I have a fabric laundry basket that we use for towels, and *blush* I've found mold spots on it before because we put wet towels in it...and they stay there until wash day. This has been (and will be this summer, I'm sure) a great product to use!
