Awhile back I had posted I was looking to buy a new washer and dryer. I think we have a model picked out, the GE model which is a front loader. Anyone have any experience with GE?
Anyway in that thread someone mentioned their clothes smelled moldy. Well my co-worker brought me this article that was in the sunday paper and I thought I would share it here. Very interesting and something to try before buying a new washer just because your clothes smell.
Former Repair Technician Invents
Family Friendly Washing Machine Cleaner
ENTREPRENEUR INVENTS NON TOXIC, ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE WASHER CLEANER THAT ALSO REMOVES ODOR CAUSING FUNGUS AND MILDEW SMELL FROM TOWELS AND CLOTHING
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) January 4, 2008 -
http://www.smellywasher.com/images/smellywasher_002.png Washing machine odor can be hard to get rid of and after years of servicing washers, former appliance repair technician Paul Flynn wanted an inexpensive cleaner that would easily remove odor-causing detergent, fungus and mold buildup from clothes washers without using harsh chemicals. A common service Flynn provided was to clean washing machines which were transferring unpleasant odors to towels and clothing. This process required a mixture of harsh, toxic, chemicals which were not good for the user, the washer or the environment. Flynn decided that it was time to invent a family friendly, non-toxic cleaner that worked well and was easy for the average homeowner to use.
The SmellyWasher® product was born out of necessity to eliminate the moldy smell from washers, towels and clothing. The product is unique to the service most repair technicians and other cleaners supply in that the product does not harm seals and gaskets that can dry out and cause leaking. In addition to being safe for washing machines, the SmellyWasher® cleaner is also safe for people. The dark, damp environment of the washing machine proves to be a breeding ground for mold and fungus spores. The non-toxic formula eliminates these spores that irritate allergies and asthma.
Flynn’s inspiration for the basis of the SmellyWasher® cleaner came from his experience in the United States Navy and he applied this knowledge to the problems he had encountered in his appliance repair career. He personally used his product for two years before he decided to patent, mass-produce and market it as “smellywasher” cleaner. After designing a DIY website and selling the product over the internet for some time he was contacted by several nationally syndicated radio show hosts and newspaper columnists that wanted to feature SmellyWasher® cleaner after mentioning the problem and being contacted by listeners or readers who had used the cleaner.
“At first I didn’t even advertise because the cleaner sold itself either by word of mouth or by news reporters and bloggers spreading the word. When I get an email about how well the cleaner works I ask the customer to post on message boards.” states Flynn.
After business increased he hired a web designer to give his site a more professional look. “After I did that sales really increased. The next step is to get it into stores.”
The cleaner is set apart from other washer cleaners because it is not limited to cleaning only washing machines, it may also be used to remove mildew odor transferred to towels and clothing, Also, one order is good for multiple cleanings rather than just one-time use.
One order will last up to a year. All it takes is one tablespoon added to a hot cycle with no clothing and let the washer complete it’s cycle. It will continually eliminate odors rather than cover them up. Flynn has made himself personally available to answer any questions on problems with washer odor.
