There's a pig in my washer

[Maine-ah]

Front load washers are becoming a more popular attraction in many mid coast area homes. Yes, that odd looking fish tank that adorns the washroom in a variety of decorator colors. These new models offer numerous energy saving features and overall great reviews except for one....that strange Oder noticed when you open the door. The door "boot" or gasket is designed to keep that small amount of water inside for your viewing pleasure. Unfortunately, water and residue can collect in the folds & crevices of this rubber boot and create a stale, musty Oder. Often, just leaving the door open a crack can dry up the wetness and alleviate the smell, but not always. I was recently surprised to discover there can be another reason for this unpleasant aroma, one you may not expect. If you use liquid fabric softener, you might be shocked to learn the main ingredient ..PIG TALLOW.
Yes, pig fat disguised with dyes and fragrances is slowly decaying inside your new washer. That love-able, slightly overweight, creature better known for it's bacon & ham, is now softening your favorite fabrics. You mean, I'm wearing pig fat !! Sorry Mom ? The Gummy fat in the fabric softener can also raise havoc with your dispenser. So I say, let's leave the pig down on the farm and if you just can't live without it, try the handy dryer fabric sheets and I'll tell you next time what they do to your dryer.
