New washer want to avoid the smellies help!
Comments (10)Just a note I use Charlies Powder not the liquid, and you ahould read the thread on smelly washers lots of good advice, there are a lot of different products and some ideas about other causes of smellies that are unrelated to the actual washer, things about drainage etc.. the long and the short of it, is you should not have the smellies and there are several ways to get rid of them and keep them from coming back. I am not expert but just feeling around in the detergent drawer after I completely removed it, there is a lot of water that is around it. That is why I just take it out and place it on a towel on top....See Moresmelly FL
Comments (5)its a Kenmore and was two years old. I wipe it out whenever i use it and get the lint out of the trap of the dryer every time i use it. They were expensive items and i was trying my best to look after them!...See MoreSmelly wool rug, but no latex backing. Ideas?
Comments (15)The smell is definitely not mold/must/fungus - I have an unfortunate amount of experience with that particular family of smells and it's not that. It's also not pet smells - got a lot of experience there, too! The seller was a reputable seller of new rugs - good feedback, located in the US. And the rug seemed new - the pile was perfect etc. I did email the seller today and they wrote back saying that the rug has no mothproofing sprayed on it but that they do keep them rolled up with a couple mothballs in each rug in their warehouse. So I'm guessing that the smell I smell is mainly the wool (it definitely has that wet-doggish smell) with a bit of the mothball mixed in. I'm guessing that I'm in for a stinky summer with the hot/humid season coming up, but hopefully the smell will dissipate eventually. It's not a horrible smell, like I said, just "tangy" if that makes any sense. Thanks for all the feedback. dd70 - maybe you need to buy it in a store and give it the sniff test first!...See MoreCat ruined my favorite chair
Comments (31)As a person who has had a lifetime of having cats...18 with the two new additions, I feel your pain. I had to list them to make sure I wasn't forgetting anyone. Simon, Pumpkin, Casey, Cricket, Maddie,Louie, Emma, Minnie, Nellie, Annie, Peeper, lily, Henry ,Phoebe, Bernie, Poppy, Piper in no particular order except at the beginning and end. Of these, I had one prolific pee-er. It can be many factors, medical , emotional and just because they can. Maddie was my pee er and after vet's visits and other modifications which were futile, one day I took her in the carriage house empty of cars. It's a very large building and it was summer and a trial for a day or two. I put her food and water, toys and bed and litter box. I had thought maybe she was being bullied. Nope, she peed out of the box when there was NO earthly reason. I have one or two who pooped beside the box even though it was cleaned every day. Cats are mysterious creatures. Three years ago when I found the Maine coon I thought maybe that's why he was dumped. Nope, perfect habits from day one, All five litter boxes are in the basement and so when I got the new girls in June, Piper did pee on a rug because this was all new to her being in a cage for over four months but as soon as I carried her down to the basement, she caught on, Since two of my cats are declawed(not by me) my only problem now is dealing with piper clawing inappropriate things but she's good about using scratching posts. I think inappropriate elimination is the number one reason cats are dumped. I am such a cat person, I could never live a minute without a few, but will admit it's a nasty problem. I'm sorry this was rambling with really no solution. I have used Natures Miracle with limited results. I think a change in their lives...cats hate change and new things is a big factor too. Good luck....See Moreteresa_nc7
