Question from Colleen
Our 13 year old washer was leaking and we had to get a new one. Has anyone has a problem dealing with the plastic smell in their new washer? I’m afraid to put my expensive organic bedding in it and ruining it with plastic smell but I also need to wash them once a week due to dust mite allergies. I’m running the machine with just a cleaning cycle first with vinegar to see if that helps and then I’m going to try a small load of something I don’t care about throwing away to try laundry in it. How long does it take to outgas? What have others done during this outgassing time-period? Thank you for the information.

Readers? My best recommendation is to buy a used washer.
