I mean, it would happen to us in Illinois if I accidentally left the clothes in the washer for a couple of days in the summer.

Just ordered up Unstoppables until we find the culprit. But the ultimate goal is a solution, not a coverup.

We suspect it might be the water. Or could it be an issue with our washer or dryer. Would love to hear other folks’ experiences, even if to tell us we’re crazy. 🤪

If you have a front load washer every other week you need to clean underneath entire doors rubber gasket also top of it with straight vinegar spray it really heavy then wipe out out with Clorox wipes then put lots of vinegar into it run it empty followed by empty load with lots of bleach. Been doing this for years with my front load Speed Queen..
