Comment on How to remove stale smelling from clothes? by Work Smart Not Hard

A friend of mine turned me on to this brand called Eco Life. I have really come to realize that most of the store bought detergents are highly toxic, cheaply made and just overall suck. Eco Life is like an eco friendly specialty store and their laundry detergent is by far the best I have ever used! The store brands never deliver the results like they do in the commercials. I think this is your best bet. Their detergent smells great and it’s even combined with fabric softener. I hope this helps. The website is http://www.ecolifecleaning.org/store

The major cause would be the fact you are using baby washing detergent.It isn’t strong enough to remove odours & stains from adults clothing.There are many things you can use such as soap flakes & one of the great soakers available.I find Napisan oxygenated soaker is the best.You can either soak the clothes in it or add a capful to the washer along with the detergent.It refreshes & sanitises your clothes & is gentle enough for baby clothes.

Edit: It also helps to add fabric conditioner to the rinse water or put a couple of the conditioner sheets in the drier.

Hi Frank, this is Mike with The Home Depot
.
The issue you are facing is a common one. Front load and top load High Efficiency Washers require regular maintenance.

Every 40 -50 cycles a washer cleaner such as Affresh Washer Cleaner or Tide Washer Cleaner is required to remove the soap residue and mildew from your washer.

Since modern washers use so little water the machine does not get the clean out that older machines did when the clothes were rinsed. Thus soap residue and moisture remain that lead to mildew buildup.

This mildew is transferred to the clothing washed in a dirty machine. When that clothing is again wet from perspiration or other moisture the odor returns.

Your washer should have a” clean washer” or similar cycle to rinse out your machine. If not just place the washer cleaner in the drum and run a regular cycle.

It may require more than one cleaning to remove all of the residue. A second or even a third cleaning cycle may be required.

Once the machine is clean, a cleaning once a month should be all you need to keep your laundry fresh.

I hope this answers your question.

Comment on Can an electric motor be designed to be able to use both 120 and 240 volts at 60hz.? by Ray;mond

I don’t think anyone makes a motor like that, but separate windings are possible, one powered by 120 volts and the other powered by a different voltage, at the same time. Performance and efficiency would be reduced when only one voltage was available ,or if the phase was more than slightly different. Neil

Many motors are designed for dual voltage (one or the other at a time but not either or both). These motors are set up by the the electrician in the field for the specific application. In 220V applications some windings (as specified by the manufacturer) are placed in series. In 120V applications the same windings work in Parallel. This is common for fractional horsepower motors. However you can’t modify a motors voltage rating after its been wound and assembled.

Comment on Do u think it costs more 2 use a laundromat or the water and electric 2 power ur own washer and dryer? by Lucy P

I weighed all the pros and cons of this issue and decided to buy a washer only. I figured my time is worth something…plus gasoline and wear and tear on my car. I frequently left clothing behind and some items were stained from the washers and dryers. Also, you can figure up how much you spend in a year and then figure how much in 5 years say. I bought a compact front loader and dry my clothes on a wooden rack. I’ve never regretted buying it and especially the convenience. I think in the long run it will not cost more to buy your own!

It’s probably cheaper to go to the laundromat. Plus, you can do multiple loads at once at the laundromat, but you are stuck there. If you were home, you could do whatever you needed to do while you waited.
