I would have thought by now I'd know everything I need to about washing clothes since I've been doing it almost on a daily basis now for about 8 or so years now (that's how long I've been separated/divorced).
What I am finding though is that after I have washed and dried a load of whites or a load of towels and sometimes shirts from a colored load that they smell foul. I'm guessing it is because loads sometimes sit in the washer for hours and/or don't get fully dry in the dryer and sit kind of wet for hours before I restart the dryer. The way my schedule and memory and what ever else has changed that part of doing laundry has changed so I need to find a way to eliminate this.
Will it be enough to put something along with the laundry detergent in the washer? Or using some no cling sheet with scent in the dryer or both?
Or do I just have to find a better way to remember to move clothes from the washer to the dryer and ensure the clothes are dry?
Why is it that blankets and jeans that are dried with a full load seem to take more then 70 minutes (always the max time I ever seem to see on a dryer) to dry even when the lint filter is empty?
Can't someone make a dryer that will dry for more than 70 minutes or is there some other setting I can change to make sure the dryer runs until the clothes are really completely dry?
