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. 🤪

- K & J, newbies here.
I use a washing machine cleaner that I buy at Dollar Tree every month or so. We have dogs and I wash their blankets in our washing machine as well as horse blankets and as long as I use the cleaner I have never had a problem.
