Question from Sandy Moskovitz
Hi, Debra–we have a 10-year old front loading Asko washing machine. I’ve recently been reading about the importance of cleaning front-loaders, and from the article, I realize that our towels have mildew (I had no idea why they were starting to smell kind of weird). I’ve read about a product called Smelly Washer and also Smelly Towels which are supposed to help get rid of the mildew in the machine, but other than saying that the products are made from citrus, they don’t disclose their ingredients. Any other ways to clean a front loader and especially to get rid of the mildew in the towels? I use Maggie’s Soap Nut liquid, and sometimes include Borax, Hydrogen Peroxide bleach, or Baking Soda if our clothes are extra dirty.
Thanks for the help!
Best,

Debra’s Answer
Anyone have any experience with these products or with removing mildew from towels? I personally have never needed to remove mildew from towels and couldn’t find a MSDS for the products.
