Question from Rebekah
My husband bought a used washer and dryer, thinking it was a great deal and that it would help my laundromat related allergies and illness. Unfortunately, he bought the washer and dryer from someone who ran scented detergents and softeners through them for years! I don’t think he understands my sensitivity, and even after hours of cleaning the machines, the smells are nauseating to me. I don’t want to even think about running any of my clothes or linens through the machines until I can get the odors out. Is there anything I can do other than re-sell these machines?! My husband thought he was doing me a great service and was hoping to recieve thanks and appreciation; instead I’m frustrated and slightly angry that his “great deal” turned into a huge ordeal for me and my chemical sensitivity. Will anything take out the overpowering chemical perfume odors that have obviously permeated the plastics of these machines?! Thanks in advance for any help, advice, or tips.
