Smelly Washer Cleaner - Remove Odor, Mildew, and Mold!

edit all details

Most people don't consider their laundry when dealing with respiratory problems. Smoking and pollution are seen as the most common causes of lung, throat, nose and eye irritation, but a leisurely stroll down your nearest grocery store detergent aisle may change your mind. Laundry detergents and fabric softeners, even those in sealed boxes, can irritate mucous membranes, make your eyes water and trigger respiratory problems such as asthma.

More Than Skin Deep

The effects of using harsh chemicals to clean your laundry can go much further than you may realize. For example, while bleach is deadly to germs, it is also deadly to humans. Frequent exposure to bleach can cause long lasting damage to lung tissue and everyone knows what happens when you spill it on colored fabric. Combine bleach with ammonia, another common household chemical, and the fumes can kill you.

Less Is More

Today's improvements in washing machine technology have made the need for detergent all but disappear. Unless your clothing is stained with grease, blood, grass or chocolate, simply running them through the hot water wash cycle will remove the sweat, dead skin cells, dust and odor causing components that make our clothing less than fresh. Even with oil and stains, only a single tablespoon of detergent is required to get your clothes fresh and clean. Anything beyond that amount is going to leave a residue in your washer that plays host to mold and mildew, resulting in a smelly washing machine filled with mold. This mold then emits odors and mold spores into your "clean" clothing. These spores can lead to respiratory problems, even among healthy individuals.

Fabric softener is another candidate for the "less is more" philosophy in today's washing machines and with today's high quality water supply. It leaves behind a mold feeding ground that can only be combated with washing machine cleaners. Dryer balls or old (clean) sneakers can do just as good of a job softening your fabrics without any of the bad side effects.

Don't Turn Your Nose At A Smelly Washing Machine

If your washer develops washing machine mold, you must take action to prevent health complications and stinky clothes. Vinegar or baking soda can be added to wash loads to counteract mold growth and odor, but vinegar may leave an odor of its own. It works beautifully on glass and other hard surfaces, however. They will not, however, eliminate washing machine mold. The only way to rid your smelly washing machine of its resident mold population is with a natural washing machine cleaner such as Smelly Washer, which will kill the mold and prevent its regrowth with regular use.

Washing machine cleaners should be used twice a month in an empty washer, run at the hottest water temperature possible. This product can also be used to eliminate mold, mold spores and the resulting odor from items such as curtains, carpets, and boat covers. Protect your lungs and your laundry with natural products.
