I have even seen it i some garden centers since it is used in the garden too. I use lots of it in gardening and for us and many uses but had not heard of it to clean by top loader that smells. Mine you cannot stop once it starts but I will try this method anyway on a long soak cycle. Thanks so much for the ideas and hints and all you do!

Next time I will use epsom salts and try this method.DbrhH.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13052036567121618203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-6402980274299913342014-06-23T08:43:31.750+10:002014-06-23T08:43:31.750+10:00I will check out the site.

I was wondering if that was where all the odd socks went to but I couldn't find any.

I always had front loaders (except when I first moved into OH's place but that toploader went pretty quickly) and I never had an issue with mould but I still will give this a go. I have 20 kg of Epsom Salt for making dishwashing detergent, scrubs, baths ect. I just wanted to say that there's a little round 'door' at the bottom of a front loader which needs to get cleaned as well as that contains any 'solids' (hair, buttons ect). If this doesn't get cleaned, the machine will not spin properly.<br /><br />Just thought I let you know - thanks for the advice! <br />Frances<br />Francesca Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205098498690628883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-76753950806246566082014-06-19T15:16:34.730+10:002014-06-19T15:16:34.730+10:00Good ideas for any kind as they all can get to sme...Good ideas for any kind as they all can get to smelling 'musty', especially in the summer! I try to run vinegar through now and then as well. Sometimes I think my top loader gets water that doesn't all drain and smells a little, never heard of the Epsom salts either - very useful tips - thank you!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209722078916803400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-65978836118289452272014-06-18T11:11:38.398+10:002014-06-18T11:11:38.398+10:00Tracy, I like being able to choose the amount of w...Tracy, I like being able to choose the amount of water I am going to choose which you can do with the twin tub and some top loaders. I normally use the 20 gentle wash on my front loader but on some overcast days in winter I the have to do a 13 minute spin to dry the clothes a bit more before hanging on the line. I have just retired last year so would have the time to use the twin tub which spun the clothes quite well.

I liked the twin tub but it was quite hands on. If I could choose, I'll go for a water efficient top loader when it is time to replace my current washing machine.<br />I haven't had any problems with mould either. I also leave the door open to let the machine 'air' and sometimes do a rinse/spin cycle with vinegar to clean it.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185599118466320327noreply@blogger.com
