The guy who cleaned the dryer vent said it was pretty bad and he said to wet a towel with water and sprinkle some vinegar on it and dry it. We did that but the oder although better is still there. Has anyone ever experienced this? If you have how did you get rid of the oder? Appreciate all replies!
My dryer is 4 years old and I have no odor coming from it. I have a daughter who lives in Orlando and I noticed a musty odor on her clothing. Her friend, an engineer, took the working of the dryer apart, cleaned it and reassembled it. The odor is gone. I wouldn’t recommend that to anyone. The only advise I can give is to never leave clothes in your dryer. They may not completely dry, then sit there getting that musty smell. Good luck.
